[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

I already answered your questions. Are you going to answer mine? The government provides lots of public spaces in which various activities take place--DMVs, jury rooms, libraries, transit vehicles, and more, including schools. Are none of these religiously neutral either? If so, how do you accommodate your beliefs to operating in those areas? If not, why should schools be any different?

Please avoid the other semantic game you play: it's not the schools that are compulsory, it's education.

The tuition at government schools is ZERO! Do you understand that this is price-fixing? If a private company tried this the CEOs would be in prison! Is it any wonder then that in my county there are **no** private schools? If government owned government grocery stores, and gave food away for free, how many private grocery stores do you think we would see?

Ok....So?...Government creates and extremely hostile economic environment for the creation of private schools. When private schools don't exist, the government forces children ( under threat of armed police action) into religiously non-neutral “schools”. They are **compelled** by threat of police action to attend a **GOVERNMENT** religiously non-neutral school!

Then **if** a parent is lucky enough to have a private schools in the area, to escape the government soul killing death grip the parent must pay twice. The parent must pay the government school tax and then extra in the form of private school tuition. I surely would **not** call that religiously neutral. I call it a “Freedom of Conscience” tax!

And....No citizen can escape paying taxes for the government religiously non-neutral schools ( misnamed “public” schools).

Sounds like **lots** of police force to me backing up those religiously non-neutral government schools.
