Quote:Choice should not take away funding from public schools.  When it does, it does not give incentives to either public schools to do better, nor for private schools to do better, rather if gives them only incentive to appeal to parents (rather than to perform better)


Both would be the 'most balanced', but I don't think it should necessarily be balanced.  I think people who want their kids to learn about creationism can teach it at home, or let the church teach it if their parents feel it's something they should learn.  Or if they so choose with their own money, have their kids attend a private school that teaches creationism.  


Religion should be left to parents and their churches of choice.  I doubt very much many would like it if a Muslim teacher was teaching their version of Creationism in schools.  And I doubt many would like taxpayer dollars going to Muslim Schools that teach muslim values.  I happen to expand that to all religions.  

 

Well, at least you answered a portion of my post.

 

Why should an education not be "balanced" with respect to ideas and stimulating thought?  I do believe that you are confusing creationism with religion.  The two are not the same.

 

The way that I view education goes back to an interview that one of my "heroes" in life did, and is someone who I happen to look up to, Steve Wozniak.  I challenge you to watch that video (it's only 3:22 in length) and then think about what you are saying regarding creationism.
