This is exactly why my kids will never step foot in a government school. Also why I usually don't frequent these ridiculous crevo threads- I don't have a dog in this fight.
It's pointless for the two sides to come to an agreement over this issue. Overall, we should, as conservatives, agree that the government has no place in education, since they suck so bad at it.
Well, first off, creation or I.D. should never be taught in science. The data provided by these people does not provide the basis to create a proper scientific theory that can be tested over and over. Usually it provides data that can be disproven.
Now this creationism etc. can be taught in religious courses since they are belief based.
As for the government sucking so bad at education, well I remember a time when most humans did not read or write. We have come a long way since then and thanks to education for everyone in countries like the USA, I think society as a whole is much better off.
Can it do better. Oh yes. Government has a place in education, may it be through grants to private schools or actual funding. I think that is what some parents want - a choice.

Well said! Agreeing that government education is not healthy for our children and yet arguing that our only recourse is to ignore it, does not address the problem. Tax money should not be used for harmful agencies and institutions.
