We obviously need to teach schoolchildren about religion somehow. There must be a non-doctrinaire manner to give young people in junior high, say, a basic literacy in the world's half-dozen or so major religions. But I worry that PC will strangle us from being permitted to bring up the subject at all. That is just as outofbalance as using public school as a platform for proselytization.

It's a choice to opt out of the public system- which the public pays for. Private is private, exclusionary by nature, not under the regulations and governance of the public- and no money should go there (imo). I believe that to melt properly American children need a base framework of education that is similar. The public schools supply that base. I am happy to pay more for the public schools- but not for ANY private school(religious or otherwise). It's an issue of control. I wish I had it over ALL my tax dollars. I WISH I could choose all the government programs I can support- but when it comes to private institutions that I fundamentally disagree with, no way should I have to support those.
