If it is so bizarre, then address it.

The libertarian argument is that the government shouldn't be in the business of dictating education. That should be a private enterprise.

I must confess that the education received at the Catholic high schools in our area FAR SURPASSES that received anyplace else in the state of Ohio.

I also must confess that parents whose children have educational gaps get their best results from private firms such as Sylvan or from private tutors.

How schools should be run and financed is IMHO way beyond this discussion. And is meaningless about whether evolution is science and creation is some sort of "theory."

Last time I looked, Catholics teach TTOE. Can someone definitively say otherwise (that is a true request for info, not sarcasm)

And MacDonald's is offering a new chicken sandwich, which has as much relevance as the quality of Sylvan or private tutors (which are probably very good).
