I know I've mentioned this before, but it still astounds me that supposedly "conservative" religious types don't see the inherent danger in encouraging the government to take up the business of teaching religious doctrine.

Nonsense. John Hancock paid for Cotton Mather written primers for school children in New England. Texas schools had orthodox Bible studies as late as the 1940s and 1950s. You would prefer the moral compass of a teacher who claims gorillas in the family tree?

Since government schools can not be politically, culturally, or religiously neutral in content or consequences, they MUST be abolished.

They are are a insult to freedom of conscience.
