Government destroys freedom no matter what it involves in. The less government we have, the freer we are, I just wish brain dead liberals would understand that.

They didn't support any of their propositions with even a shred of evidence. What a waste of time. I expected more.

@J0eFlesh That is true. Don't assume however that Steve's standards for lawn care equate to a curriculum you might desire. You are fortunate that our federal government seems to favor evolution. What if they favored creationism instead? In a diverse nation such as ours, isn't it is best to these leave matters up to local government so that the people decide what is appropriate for their needs? I find creationism to be silly. However, I hate to deny a community the right to choose.

Susie's flower garden or Jim's mowing schedule differences could equate to state's like Kansas wanting to censor the teaching of evolution in schools in favor of creationism or prayer in school or some other establishment of religion concept that would run into Constitutionality problems.

the analogy ignores the fact that private education and home schooling is still available, mowing or treating your lawn yourself. Also, most of the control is currently the state and local regarding education. This is why you heard about different states debating what to teach in their public schools.
