Believe whatever you want, but bring a scientific idea to the party or you don’t get to swim in the ‘scientific process’ pool.

And a voucher system for well preforming schools is a great idea IF the schools included do not have a religious curriculum/agenda.

Why? The First Amendment is misrepresented by the Left, for the purpose of maintaining the monopoly for indoctrinating the young generation. The Amendment states that the government cannot impose religion on the people. But the second part of the Amendment expressly reads that the gov't cannot interfere with the free exercise of religious beliefs either. Excluding religious schools violates the second clause of the I Amendment. At the same time, making religious schools eligible does not violate the first clause, because vouchers recipients are not forced to send their kids to religious schools.

Hello......

It's called the public school system.

Is there something in Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; that you don't get?

Why the litmus test for religion?

What are you doing on FR anyway, noob, promoting that kind of socialist, government control of education?

Religious people pay taxes as much as anyone. Why are you proposing coercing the taxes out of them to support public education which endorses ideology which they don't agree with and then telling them that if they want any different that they have to pay for it out of their own pockets? Why should only non-religious people and institutions get the money coerced from the religious people?

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and worked just fine for centuries when Bible reading and prayer were part of the opening of every school day.

Why is that not acceptable any more?
