This is all an aside, but too good a topic to pass up.
[quote]But you probably give a damn that the schools in your district (if you care about them–I didn’t until I had kids attending) receive their share of federal funding for education. And if they receive that federal funding, they cannot promote one religion –or religion versus science–over another.[/quote]
I consider it very important to send my kids to a school that has a curriculum I approve of. I will be sending my kids to private school, God (or whomever you choose) willing. I would like to extend that choice to everyone. Currently, we only have one option on the menu (at least only one that is economically feasible). A watered down PC mush head education. If I want my kids to be incapable of critical thought, I will go for public schools.
