socialism is the problem in all of these 'public school contraversies', its a shame it is always overlooked as this legitimizes it.

"In a government-dominated education market, by contrast, we get mass-produced curricula and textbooks that are notoriously dull because they're aimed at preparing students for standardized tests without offending anyone's sensibilities."
Enter homeschooling. Homeschooling can focus on teaching instead of indoctrinating. That's why homeschoolers as a rule tend to do well in the public arena.

I like the idea of incorporating intelligent design into the science curriculum as a way of teaching critical thinking, but I think the treatment should go beyond Dover's lawyer-vetted, four-paragraph statement to include a serious examination of the theory's claims and the rejoinders from its critics.Sullum does not know science from a hole in the ground. Here he mistakeningly calls ID a theory, when in fact it is not. And he also erroneously equates it with other knowledge as being a legtimate aspect of "...the science curriculum..."
Meanwhile, ID and creationism have falsely, but effectively, been labelled as conservative viewpoints by the MSM.

"I'm not suggesting that parents would be completely satisfied with their children's schools if the government got out of the education business. No doubt they would always find something to complain about. But if they were not compelled to pay for government-run schools, they would be in a better position to choose schools that reflected their values and preferences, and the compromises they made would be voluntary, instead of terms imposed by the winning side of a political battle."
Yes now who would pay for evolution if there was no public funding? KEYS to their kingdom, taxation without representation!!!!
