There are many Christian schools in the United States of America. However, religion as a whole is not usually taught by state funded education systems. Of course, this does not mean that the child can not study this kind of thing if that is what they choose to do. All schools usually offer students the chance to study these religion courses as an extracurricular activity as they would any other extracurricular activity. Of course, it's a neat fact to bring up that over 4 million different children in the United States attend some kind of religious school. That means that about one in every 12 kids that you will meet will attend these kinds of schools. On top of that, most of these kids attend Christian schools, which means even a lower percentage of kids attend religious schools that are not Christian based. However, it's also worthy to point out that a lot of the Christian schools take a lot of criticism for the way they teach their students. Because of the Christian fundamentalist ideas, and the need to follow the beliefs of the Bible, many Christian based schools lack in the science educational part of their curriculum. This is because, many things that science talks about and has proven can go against what is in the Bible. Thus, that stuff is not covered in their schools. This has led many educational boards to talk ill of their teachings. However, what it comes down to in the United States is that you have the right to go to any school that you choose. This means that if you find that you feel it's necessary to go to a Christian school, then you have the right to do so. If you do not want to go to one of these schools, then you have the choice to go to a normal public school. This is a choice that your family gets to make for you. Whether or not the lack of science teachings in Christian schools is a problem is yet to be seen. However, if it's a topic that bothers you, then you have the right to send your child to any school that you want them to go to.
