Government Education is Unconstitutional, Says Top US Law Professor

• Need To Know

Liberty University Law Professor Jeffrey Tuomala published a paper arguing that government education of children funded by taxes represents an unconstitutional establishment of religion and as such, it violates the US Constitution's First Amendment and protections for religious liberty. He contends that government is shaping the minds of over 60 million American children by "educating" them for at least five days a week for 12 years with ideas that are profoundly religious. Values, morals, and modes of thinking that are outright pagan are taught to children in government schools as if they were the only possible truth.

Government education of children funded by taxes represents an unconstitutional establishment of religion and as such, it violates the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment and protections for religious liberty, warns Liberty University Law Professor Jeffrey Tuomala in a powerful new paper.

Tuomala's unequivocal conclusion that state "education" must go joins a growing chorus of legal arguments seeking to fundamentally re-think American education. Indeed, more and more prominent legal minds are now openly arguing that government schools violate the Constitution and must be shut down.
