You don't get to decide that religious values are good or bad.

As a citizen in a country, you get to decide on allowing religious fundamentalists to indoctrinate their children. I choose hell no, keep religion out of schools and out of public life.
This is an authoritarian mindset common on the left but is antithetical to liberal values. Having a desire to control how other people prefer to care for their children usually doesn’t end well historically.
You're using a lot of loaded language in your response. What is a "religious fundamentalist" to you? Also you're missing the point, because the topic of discussion is religious people educating their own kids, not religion in public schools.
I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that human sacrifice is bad.
I do, and society does. Sex equality comes to mind.
I do, actually.
