Is it moral, to compel a man to pay for the advancement of ideas he does not share or condone?

Ahh, Brother OWK. One in whom I have deep respect. I'd ask you personally for your opinion on myriad topics, but on this one, that question is a hanging curveball.

I pay property taxes. Out of those taxes, public schools are funded. They teach evolution as fact in these schools. I don't believe whatsoever in evolution. Yet I pay for this. Creationism is not allowed. I believe in the Creator, but He is not allowed in school.

Question: Is this moral?

Besides, how can a theory be taught as fact anyway (not a question to front you out, just in general).

Because most of the evidence points to it as being correct?

This too (public shooling) is wholely and completely immoral.

(not to mention a socialistic failure)
