You just don’t get it, do you. Indoctrinating children with religious dogma is not a right. It has no place anywhere in the sphere of public education. And vouchers paid for with public dollars that end up funding explicitly religious education should not be allowed either. There is plenty of time outside of the 6 hours a day children are in school to teach them religious beliefs. Do it after school, do it at bible study, do it at sunday school, do it at church. Anywhere but a classroom that is being funded with my tax dollars.

I think there was something in the Constitution about freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. But as you say, I am easily confused. Perhaps the issue is that we have a public education system. If everyone was responsible for their own education, perhaps we wouldn’t have this discussion. School vouchers might be a good compromise. You send your kids to the public school with the rest of the drones. I’ll send mine to some place that will teach them what I think is important. Seem fair? BTW - I am not religious. I just think that it is unfair to force your atheism on people with belief systems.
