1) Organizing for tax credits so parents could use their **own** school taxes for thier child in a private school.

You're missing the point. There are a lot of folks out there who want teacher-led prayer and creationism in the public schools not so they can reach their children, but so they can reach your children.

As it becomes increasingly obvious that their indoctrination is not working, they redouble their efforts. We're constantly reading about how the teaching of evolution needs to be revamped because to the evos dismay, so many people STIIIILLLL believe in creation.

Do you think it might go the other way?

That is the stated goal of many on the left - to use the school system to indoctrinate the children of conservative/Christian families.

It’s good, though, that you admit that education cannot, by definition, be “values neutral”.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The solution is obvious, isn't it?

Begin the process of privatizing government education. Let the Darwinist bullies go to schools they like. Let the Crevos go to their schools!

Get government **out** of the business of **forcing** the worldview of the biggest political bully down the throats of other people's children.
