"However, as a parent myself of a child who will be starting school in a few years, I would respectfully ask that you leave his religious instruction to ME, and not the government."
How DARE you demand your rights?
I am unfortunately quite focused when it comes to my son. In fact, I will NOT "demand" my rights in this arena...if necessary, I will simply take them.
I was only being polite, as a civilized man should.
It is quite plain that the IDers and YEC's desire to ensure that my son is taught religion in school. THEIR religion, let's be honest, if they were but given half a chance.
They may teach their own children their mythologies to their heart's content, and with my full support and defense of that Right.
Should my son eventually desire to enter the scientific field, he will face less competition.
I will NOT tolerate his indoctrination into ANY religion in a government school.
