[Once-Ler]

Suppose you have a Jewish family who doesn't want their kid taught Catholicism? Or a Catholic family who doesn't want their kid taught Mormonism?

Or suppose it is a family of Christians who don't want their children taught evolution. Your entitled to your opinion. Mine remains "the complete absenence of faith in school is baffling when one considers the influence (both good and bad) of faith on science, history, literature, law, and even the #1 school subject self-estem / self-centeredness."

Or suppose it is a family of Christians who don't want their children taught evolution.

The difference being, evolution is science, and religion isn't.

"Or suppose it is a family of Christians who don't want their children taught evolution."

Then I suggest sending them to a school where science is not a subject. Perhaps an art school, or a Wahhabist school in Pakistan.

[Vive ut Vivas]

Suppose you've got a family who doesn't want their kid taught physics, or chemistry, or history, or English. Doesn't matter - if you want your children to be intellectually incompetent, that is your choice, and remove your children from public schools. The wrong path to take is to force your mysticism on everybody else.
