I see this kind of bullshit all the time: " alternative lifestyles, political indoctrination etc" But at the schools I've taught in, that's not on the menu- we're geared to the tests- math, English, social studies, science- that whole "alternate lifestyles" hooey is a right winger's wet dream- or the brain child of an idiot who makes the news by doing something stupid and teaching their politics instead of what they're supposed to teach (my children ran into cretinous born agains who inflicted their religion on the class- but we didn't complain to the school board, like most parents who run into these odious twits, because we knew it wasn't school policy- just a random asshole.) I don't know any liberals who want political indoctrination (unless you consider indoctrination to be, "No- you can't call Bobby names just because his parents are gay." If that's "indoctrination- then it's the kind we need to live in a society together without coming to blows.)

I think it ALL comes down to performance. If somebody sets up a Wicca School (witches and all that stuff) and CAN teach well enough to produce students that can EXCEL in math and science then I say FUND them. Whoever has the BEST teachers and success rate should be funded. I guess we should have rules against indoctrinating students into one belief or another, but we already HAVE that in "public schools" in places like Alabama and Mississippi and we aren't doing anything about it. And in those places those kids aren't LEARNING anything. They make good Christians but they don't make good scholars.
