You might argue that force is used in the public school system, but you would be wrong on several counts. No one requires kids to attend public schools; no one requires those who do to take courses in biology. The content of public school education is determined by politics, just like our laws. Some you approve of and some you don't. Your tax dollars support both. But you are not required by any law to send your kids to public schools.

I don't disagree with anything you've said here. My children have children of their own. Some go to public school some to Catholic school.

You do understand though that you've made a persusasive argument for those in Cobb County, Ga who wish to put a disclaimer in their biology book, right?

No. I've made a case for their right to try, using the legal system and politics.

And I will oppose them by the same means, just as I oppose anyone who teaches something I believe to be wrong and harmful. I am not a conservative by birth or by education or by party affiliation or by social convenience. I care deeply about my children and the world they will inherit. I have personal reasons for opposing the anti-evolutionists. I will not go into this, but I have a huge number of close relatives having a wide variety of faiths. I am not impressed by the products of fundamentalist education.
