It's time that parents pay for their own children's education.

If they want to send their children to a school that teaches that they are related to rats and skunks, fine.

And vouchers should be given to the poor.

I had to pay for my children to go to a Christian school, and I had to pay for all those atheist in the public school too, with my tax dollars.

Are you the only person in the country who pays taxes? These people do pay for their own children's education.

I agree. While I totally support teaching science, not Bible stories in biology class, there is a lot wrong with public schools, and you shouldn't have had to support an education system that taught things inconsistent with your beliefs.

As far as vouchers for the poor...I'd rather see that provided by voluntary charity; that would keep the schools free from the government setting standards. An excellent resource is The Alliance for the Separation of School & State.

Agreed, but is that worse than being taught that we were made from dirt and that women were merely created for male companionship?

You also paid for Christians in public schools with your tax dollars, as did the parents of atheist children who went to private schools.
