[Non-Sequitur]

So if my faith teaches me that God created the Earth (not buying the young earth theory though) and I send my children to public school I have no recourse that they are taught what I believe is wrong? Where is my right as a parent to have my beliefs (which harm no one mind you) respected and the way I raise my children respected?

If your faith teaches you that one race is superior to another or that the earth is, in fact, 6000 years old or that Jews are the center of an international conspiracy should the schools alter their curriculum to 'respect' those theories? If you don't like science, or whatever else the schools teach, then pull your kids and teach them yourself.

What are they to do? Send all their children to private schools even though their tax dollars continue to support the public school system?

Yes.

Excellent point! Science shows clearly that races differ in their abilities and character. It is the Christian RELIGION that teaches people are equal before God.

As I said, to hell with the Republic and federalism apparently. I have no problem with paying taxes. They're there and they have to be paid. However, it is wrong to be forced to support something I do not use and will see no gain from.
