    Or you know, the default education system that doesn’t include the cultist factory as an option because… Well it’s a cultist factory.

      Yep. And that is a cool thing about choice. You can choose that as well.

        Maybe we shouldn’t let parents choose to send their kids to institutions that teach them lies like the Earth is 6000 years old, evolution is a hoax and that America is a Christian country.

        In fact, maybe that should be considered abusive considering the long-term repercussions.

          Yes, even religious schools need to teach kids to the same standards as all other schools. I don’t know if your response is hyperbole, but that absolutely should not exist.

              I was not trying to argue it, but I can’t see that being allowed where I am. Certainly the parochial school I went to and the ones I sent my kids to, taught actual science. As a science and technology nerd, I know i received an excellent science education from a religious school

              This is a good use for standardized testing: my state takes action against schools where kids aren’t up to grade level. Before anyone squawks that this mostly benefits high income: they do adjust it and the action doesn’t just further starve schools in trouble by withholding funds. In the case of parochial schools, they risk losing accreditation

              I’d like to see a study going a step or two farther than your article, to develop comprehensive data on where that BS is allowed, where it happens, and authorize the department of education to stomp that out

                They do have standardized testing. Here’s what they do: “this is how you answer it on the test that the evil government wants you to take. Answer it that way or they will do bad things to you. Here’s what Jesus thinks though.”

          You’ve created a dichotomy in your head, where none actually exists.

            It’s not a dichotomy because I wasn’t contrasting anything, and it’s legal to send your kids to schools that teach them lies like that. It shouldn’t be.
