Everyone has to pay taxes that go toward things they don't like yet I don't hear them claiming victim status.

Yes, but the wishes of the majority should have rule. That's what a representative government is all about; rule of the majority.

What makes you think that atheists don't homeschool or that the only people that do are Christians?

I dont. Where did I ever say that?

And that all homeschooling Christians use the Bible as their science textbooks?

I didn't say that either. Where did you get that idea?

You need to include the /sarcasm tag. Otherwise folks will think you're an idiot.

Fortunately, those of us who call ourselves conservatives live in and defend a constitutional republic rather than a democracy.

It seemed to me you implied it with this line: "Well, if it's not a good enough option for the atheists/evolutionists, then it's not good enough anyone else."

Sort of like the sticker implied there was controversy or something special about the TOE by singling it out among all theories to point out that it's only a theory. Why overstate the obvious?

It's not only atheists that object to supernatural ideas being introduced into a science class. Creationists have tried their darndest to get people thinking that evolutionist is a synonym for atheist, but it's just not working.
