That should read they are NOW PROVIDED....
Middle School is past the age of "Recess". They are not provided school sponsored competitive sports, chorus/choir, ensemble, band and a variety of clubs to join.
By this age - there IS NO TIME for recess and rightfully so.
The "faith" or "religion" that you are taking issues with, is a faith that promotes and walks out daily the very "character" model that the public schools use as part of their curriculum. They are one in the same. Be Trustworthy. Remain Respectful. Be Responsible. Act in Fairness. Care for Others. Be a Good Citizen. Some schools include Self-Control, Perseverance, Integrity.
There are many places you may send your child to school (i.e. other countries far from here) who will gladly teach your child to hate, kill, steal, and disrespect others....essentially have no character whatsoever. But you've chosen to live here and our public schools choose to maintain GOOD CHARACTER which are not only found in workbooks, color sheets and video's but also in live performances that travel across our nation. Live performers who themselves are Born Again, Christ following Believers who know that their LIFE is the example of Good Character and not the preaching of such.
Schools do not walk the line so that they can have people with too much time on their hands file complaints and law suits. Schools, principals and our school board walk the line because SOMEBODY has to show the kids in today's generation that there is a right and a wrong way to move about in our society.
My best guess is that they learned more about Good Character from Chaos on Wheels then they ever did from the dido paper that the complaintant in the article would prefer they had.
