Decisions require a foundation. If you don't base your decisions on
sound reasoning, you might as well flip a coin.

Public school students should be presented the findings of science. If
you want your children to be exposed to religious alternatives to
science, that is your perogative as a parent, and in this nation (the
United States) you are free to take you children to whatever mosque,
synogogue, or church might most suit your fancy.

Religious instruction is NOT the within the purview of the state.
Indeed, to incorporate it alters our form of government from a
democracy to a theocracy. That is the very real danger here. People
get to thinking their government speaks with the authority of God
rather than the authority they themselves invested it with, and before
long the government begins to engage in all manner of deviant behavior,
such as waging unprovoked wars of aggression against sovereign foreign
powers, denying civil rights, seizing private property without due
process, torturing, killing, running international gulags, violating
domestic and international law...

Well, it's all in the name of God, don't you know?
