It is my anecdotal observation that it is the pro-evolutionist who are the staunches supporters of price-fixed monopoly government schools.

Be prepared to have your observation punctured by an exception. I'm not a supporter of government-run education. But I am a supporter of Constitutional government. Most states -- maybe all of them, I don't know -- require state-run schools. It will require maybe 50 states to amend their constitutions to change things. I'd be a supporter of that.

Further, most states have separation of church and state in their state constitutions. In the two recent cases, the Georgia textbook sticker case and the Dover lunatic school board case, the cases were brought in federal courts, but in each case the judge found that the local actions violated the state constitution -- as well as the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

Kitzmiller et al. v Dover Area School District et al.
Selman v. Cobb County School District. The Georgia textbook sticker case.

Most states -- maybe all of them, I don't know -- require state-run schools.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then there is internal inconsistency within their state constitutions. The human right to freedom of conscience supercedes the demand for government owned and government run price-fixed monopoly schools.

The following is an excellent essay explaining why government owned and run price-fixed monopoly schools are unconstitutional on the state and federal levels:

Further, most states have separation of church and state in their state constitutions.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is impossible to have government run, compulsory, price-fixed monopoly schools without the government violating separation of church and state.

Education the young is a highly political, cultural, and moral and ethical ( that means religious values) exercise. No matter what the government school does, it WILL establish the religious worldview of some while actively undermine that of others.

I recommend the web site for the Alliance for Separation of School and State:
