Blah Blah Blah. Your obsession shows it's ugly head again. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why the personal insults? It has been my observation that declaring a poster boring does not make their argument go away.

Hopefully, my premise will be picked up by others. Hopefully those with more influence will publicize the idea that government schools are NOT and never will be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. And,,,that government schools trash First Amendments rights every minute of every school day.

They are constitutionally legal when run by states, even if they are immoral

I have posted an excellent essay explaining why they are NOT constitutional on either a state or federal level. I am sorry you have not chosen to read it.

The reason there is so much hostility regarding evolution and ID is entirely due to the non-neutral religious, political, and cultural consequences. And,,,evolution is merely one of HUNDREDS of such topics.

Although you find it annoying, privatization of universal K-12 education is the only solution to these continual curriculum wars.

That's Balkanization.

What's follows privatized schools? Enclaves? Segregated neighborhoods? Segregated states?

What then? Warfare between neighboring enclaves?

Great. Set humankind back 10,000 years while you're at it. Armed and warring city states are where civilization started, and it sounds like your plan might just head us back there.

If the muslims don't do it first.

I didn't insult you. I insulted your position.

"I have posted an excellent essay explaining why they are NOT constitutional on either a state or federal level."

No doubt you think it is excellent.

"Although you find it annoying, privatization of universal K-12 education is the only solution to these continual curriculum wars."

I don't find it annoying; I find it extremely naive at best, disingenuous at worst, to have your entire argument in the evolution/creationism-ID debate to be that government schools are wrong. I don't believe you accept evolution, for instance.
