Why is it so hard for you to understand that in the context of private education and what is taught in the home people are and will remain to be free to teach contrary to those very things you seem to think should be state enforced correctness thinking? Why is it so difficult to understand that many people have a set of ideas about what is true that obviously differ from yours AND they have the right to organize and form educational associations to affect those ideas? Like I keep hinting at, the only thing further required to make this an ugly repeat of history is for the state to decide it should force certain ideas to not be promoted by use of force. If you are not willing to go that far then this can remain America where we respectfully disagree... rb (I don't think secular radicalism is going to respect that line in the sand) w -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
