[PatrickHenry]

Do you realise what you stepped into there? Oh my. What about creationist parents paying for teachers teaching something that opposes their religious convictions?

You started out saying the creationists had a right to their views, and I agreed, adding that you can't teach them that stuff at my expense. I didn't address the flip side of the issue, because earlier in the thread I've agreed with a few posts by people criticizing the government schools.

I quite agree that it's wrong to snatch children from their parents, force them into government education buildings, and then to ram anything into their brains -- even reading, math, and valid science. It's just wrong. Education should be voluntary. So I'm not in disagreement with you.

Despite {or, perhaps, through} your manifest arrogance and vitriol, it is apparent that you are clinging to the preposterous, threadbare creed of Evolution with the ferocious fervor of a fanatical, yet uncertain, religious zealot. Rant on at the altar of Darwin!

Ouch! Take this to its logical conclusion, and you wouldn't want to live there!
