Would you guys agree that the ideal solution would be for the government not to be involved in education and have the marketplace be a bunch of competing private schools which are allowed to teach whatever they wish?

Most private schools teach evolution as well. The one I went to (Catholic) did.

It is only a small number of radical fundamentalists who see a problem between science and religion and who want the entire educational system in this country remodeled for their convenience.

You are correct. My question, though, is would you be on board with the ideal of abolishing the public schooling system and creating an educational free market? As you point out, the majority of private schools teach evolution and would presumably continue to do so.

“It is only a small number of radical fundamentalists who see a problem between science and religion and who want the entire educational system in this country remodeled for their convenience.”

It’s a huge number of radical leftists who want that. I want freedom [and I’m a former environmentalist BTW]. So do most fundamentalists. Trying to find a fundamentalist opposed to freedom is like trying to find someone who thinks that landing men on the moon is a conspiracy.

Radical leftists want to keep control of public education funds, and that’s a big fat chunk of our economy.
