Because our schools are being used as a vehicle for imposing that morality
instead of an instrument of learning as we are told when our tax money is
sent to them. If, without the loss of equal economic support, we could choose
where our children are sent, then such "morality" education would be fine.
But as things stand, the tax system prevents parents from choosing where their
children go. Parents that want to keep their children away from any mention of
sex have their children given condoms in school, creationists are forced to
send their children to schools that teach evolution, parents that think the use
of drugs is perfectly acceptable have their children automatically taught that
drugs are bad without even being exposed to the scientific evidence so they
can make up their minds, parents who feel that homosexuality is a sin, have
their children taught otherwise. What gives the majority the right to force
these views on the minority by using the SCHOOLS?
