Actually, no...I did not attend a public school in MO. I made a mistake b/c I am dealing with a lunatic and I find it to be frustrating.

You are obviously a hypocrite. I can't believe that someone with a mouth as big as yours (with the ego to match) would not be involved with his child's school.......you would not sit back and allow a school to teach/execute something that you found to be wrong or offensive yet you expect others to do just that.

For you this isn't about whether or not you think the plays are fine--this is about the parents having a role in their kid's school. You take offense to that and you do so b/c you think that this is about religion (the one thing that you are not a hypocrite about is religion..you hate it and all it stands for). Read every post that you have re:parents in schools...you always blame religion.

Did you defend Jay Bennish too? Would you allow him to rant at your child in class? How far would you carry your 'a parent has no business in government schools' theme? How big of a hypocrite are you?

If you truly want for kids to improve in school....then let the schools compete; school choice. But that isn't what you want...you just want to rant against the evangelical right (and before you start bashing me I am not a part of that group). You are defensive b/c you think that you know what went on in this little town and you think that it was about religion...so you start bashing.

If you really don't believe that I, as a parent, should have a say in the government school that my child attends then let me take my considerable property tax monies and use them at the school of my choice. You are so afraid that I may send my kid to a religious school that you would never, ever go for me using MY tax dollars at the school of my choice.

Liberals are all about choice UNTIL I choose differently than them.

ABSOLUTELY I defend Jay Bennish!!!

I am not so terrified of my children hearing a different point of view from my own. Education is about more than facts and numbers, it's about challenging your own beliefs. When you challenge your beliefs, they either falter and wither under the light of truth, or they become stronger.

And I fully support school choice, but don't expect me to support you pulling 100% of your tax money from the system. You can take a portion of it. That money also goes for colleges as well, not to mention that you as a citizen benefit from public education whether your child attends public, private, religious, or home school.

You drive on roads designed by an engineer that went to a public school or univeristy. You are defended by soldiers who went to a public school or university. You receive public works run by people educated in a public school or university. So, no you can't take your money from a public resource so you can feel good about your child being ignorant about evolution or being sheltered from a liberal point of view. If you want a private education for your child, you have to pay for it like everyone else.

But I refuse to sit idle as a small group of religious people dictate public school policy. And I would refuse to sit idle if the motivations of that small group were religous, political, economical, racial, or any other non-sensical reasoning.

Liberals are all about choice UNTIL I choose differently than them.
^^^^^^^^

The only choice liberals are for is the choice to abort a baby.

Liberals think that parents are sooooo stupid that they can't choose a school for their kid, but their 13 year old daughter is completely capable on her own of finding an ethical and safe abortionist.
