Correct  American schools should be nonreligious and publicly funded.

Explanation:

The common school movement advocated for a larger role for public education.  For a long time in the early era of United States history, the dominant belief was that free, public education was only for the poor, and that private schools were the best choice for a better education.

Horace Mann was an educational reformer who was a leader in the common school movement that took hold in the 1830s.  Mann championed the idea that universal public education -- common schools for all children regardless of their social class, religion, or other background factors -- was essential for building a strong society.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
