10136, I'm sending my kids to church.

Well, I should say...I'm going to find a church we can attend together. One that will give them all the good stuff that comes w/going to church, and a minimal amount of the bad stuff. (I can always deprogram them after we get home).

Why? B/c there's lots of wonderful things going on in churches. Lots of Afr-American traditions are learned there...our culture is in there. Plus, good churches foster a great sense of community or family. I don't want my kids to miss out on that. Churches also do a pretty good job of reinforcing the idea that there is Right and Wrong in this world. It's important that the kids get some other sources backing up what I teach them at home about morality & ethics. (Like I said, I can always deprogram them when we get home if they pick up some nonsense.)

There's good stuff to be had in church. It's all about finding the RIGHT one.
