Let me say it this way:
I do not want religion taught in public education (I do want FACTS such as the account of creation taught). However, I do beileve there should be choice in education and that choice should include the public funding, without oversight, of private alternative forms of education including private religious education as well as home schools.
In other words, we need vouchers.

Bro. Randy is the most intelligent human in the universe, fact fact fact fact fact!
Actually, in a way, Bro Randy is right. Creationism isn't religion. It's pretty poor theology. Of course, Creationism isn't even science... Poor guy. His belief isn't good religion or science.
When you have to type the word "facts" in all caps... see, it's the strong emphasis you guys need to place on your beliefs that make me so suspicious. When I believe in something that is obviously true like, "there is the sun" it doesn't require any effort or emphasis on my part. I don't need to say, "the sun DOES exist, I KNOW it does, it is a FACT!!!" because well, I don't need to spare the effort to convince myself or others. Only religious/moral beliefs require this effort because they involve things we cannot see.
One, since nobody has seen speaking snakes or the squeletons of Adam and Eve, nobody is going to consider creation a valid theory. And anyway, go ahead with your vouchers but remember that more than 60% of the whole nation, not the Biblical redneck shit where you live, is not going to be there. It´s subcultural and cyclical, so, sorry man, don´t expect that Uncle Sam gives money without knowing how is going to be spent.

::headdesk:: Oh well.

Establishment Clause, you lardassed bitch!
Homeschooling exists.
In other words, you want the power to brainwash without any accountability.
"public funding... of private alternative forms of education" is an oxymoron.
And where is the money from these "vouchers" going to come from? Am I right in assuming you'd want it to be cut from funding for public schools?
See, that's the problem with vouchers: they would basically amount to a privatization of the educational system, which I consider to be the most precious government institution in America. Yes, even more than the military.
Sure. Other people also care about facts. The issue is the poor quality of your sources to discover what is fact or not. And the fact (an actual one this time), that what you would like to force in public education is a particular religious view of a particular fraction of Christianity. This would violate the separation of Church and State. There's no problem to include those beliefs as part of a general course about religious traditions. It would be unacceptable to corrupt science education like biology with religious pseudoscientific uncertainty propaganda.
Confused?
