All that because we prefer science taught in science class and religion taught in other venues?

No, if it were just a matter of preference, then it wouldn't be about lawsuits and monopolizing the public education establishment through the force of big government. If it were preference, I couldn't see why having parents have a say in their child's education using their own tax dollars would be such an issue.

But you knew that already.

exactly...it’s the exact same lie we see from the “pro-choice” crowd. There’s no choice but one choice and that’s abortion.

Having a baby is a choice and when a pro-life person like Sarah Palin makes this “choice” the NARAL, NOW crowd becomes unhinged.

“Preference” sounds so.... voluntary, doesn’t it?

Unlike reality where the curriculum is FORCED on the parents & children by lawsuit backed by the force of government guns.

The latter position has NO MORAL GROUNDING, and thus is arguing, morally and rhetorically, from an extreme point of weakness. In other words, when your position is forced on others, you have admitted that you have lost the moral side of the argument.
