The very concept of having government schools at all should sound First Amendment alarm bells. Government schools and the First Amendment and freedom of conscience are utterly incompatible!

Let’s examine this one issue:

There are only **two** possible choices for this government school. They allow the collegiate level dictionaries or they ban them. It is a binary decision. No matter which decision is made the freedom of conscience ( and likely the religious beliefs) of some of the parents **will** be trampled.

It is ***IMPOSSIBLE** for the government resolve this conflict in a religiously, culturally, or politically neutral manner!

As for the taxpayer they will be forced to pay for it regardless of their religious, political, or cultural beliefs.

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.
