I want my child to learn the truth that God fashioned the universe with his own hand, and I for darned sure don't want people like you trying to fill his head with your atheistic, evolutionary nonsense and pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo.

That's what church is for, James. Fill your kid's head, in your church, with as much religion as you want.

And furthermore, I don't want my tax dollars spent to teach such things that I disagree with.

Well, fortunately nothing in the law permits your mere status as a taxpayer to infuse science education with your religion. So what you want is, to put it bluntly, irrelevant.

It would appear, that we have a problem.

Nope. You have a problem, in that the schools are going to continue to teach science, while you fume away. But so long as we have a First Amendment to prevent religion from being taught in schools, I have no problem.

This is golden. Conservatives on FR are totally fine with the concept of lower taxes until someone threatens to defund the things they want. Then they get to use the power of the law to forcibly separate me from my money and spend on something that I'm opposed to, and they're OK with that.
