Look, you're a one-trick pony. The schools aren't going away anytime soon, so while they are here, a curriculum needs to be formed. And in science class, science should be taught, not creationism/ID. Period. Don't like it? Homeschool.

You are on the wrong side of the numbers, issuing a challenge like that. In a democratic form of government the will of the people tends to eventually be expressed. For many, many years now a consistent picture is clear, the people consider that something besides Darwinism needs to be taught in schools. A wise man will prepare for that day.

&&&&&&&&

The Milwaukee limit on vouchers was raised recently from 15,000 to 22,000 and there are still cries for more. How long will this pent up demand for choice be suppressed?

Florida has a bill before their House for voucher for all children. It will pass the House, has a good chance of passing their Senate, and, if so, Governor Bush WILL sign it. It's his bill! Why is this before their legislature? It's there because parents and others are DEMANDING it.

Homeschooling continues to grow at 7 to 15% a year. Personally I think it is growing faster. How do I know? We vacation on the Maryland beaches in mid-September. Every year the number of non-institutionalize children increases on the beach at time when kids should be in school. When asked, they admit to being homeschooled. This year they were thicker than fleas.

The Southern Baptist Convention has had for two years a resolution calling for churches to recommend pulling children from their government schools. In some communities that would CLOSE the government system down almost completely!

When the government schools collapse it very well may be a quick as the Berlin Wall.

Homeschool

&&&&&&&&&&&

When high taxes burden parents and both are forced into the work place, ( making homeschool impossible) the government threatens parents with police, court, and foster care if the government schools are not used.

Some Choice! Send your kid the government indoctrination camp or have armed police at your door.
