If they want to FORCE this crap down our childrens throats, then I say we stop arguing with them and give them a taste of their own medicine!

The solution is to fund the child. Allow the parents to send the child to a private school of their choice. Evos can go to evo schools, and creationists can go to creationist schools.

Also there is far more involved that just evolution. The government schools are stuffed to the brim with a materialistic athletic worldview in **every** class.

If religious people were to give the Evos "a taste of their own medicine! " which one of the Ten Commandments would be broken here? Answer: The Commandment against stealing!

The creationists would be using government to **steal** freedom of conscience and free agency from the evolutionists. The creationists would also be stealing money from the tax payers to fund their worldview.

How is it that we have these godless government schools today?

It started in the mid nineteenth century. Christians being fearful of the influx of Catholics instituted government funded **compulsory** government schools that basically **forced** Protestant Christianity on unwilling children. The Catholics fooled them and started parochial schools.

The Christians in the mid nineteenth century could not imagine that any government powerful enough to **steal** freedom of conscience from Catholic immigrants was also powerful enough to force atheism on Christians.

Therefore...NO! The answer is to stop stealing freedom of conscience from other people. Eventually begin the process of privatizing education.

Amen to that! But the evos will have none if it. In other words, “funding the child” instead of forcing all children into Darwin indoctrination centers is opposed by the evos even more than teaching both sides. In other words, it's another force issue.

I used to have this position, but have you EVER heard of a government funded program, besides welfare, that didn't have strings.

You couldn't count down from 10 before a leftist would be attaching regulations about what kind of school "qualifies".
