Bob, my in-laws are childless, should they also not pay school taxes? What about those whose children are now grown up? What about gay couples? What about those who choose to stay single? Oh. that's right. Just you want to be exempt from school taxes. I forgot. Your a Christian. You're special. Keep in mind that your child can attend a public school for free. If you choose to force religion on your child, don't ask me to subsidize it. Del

<Why should parents who elect private school be forced to continue to support public school through their taxes anyhow?> Doesn't the answer to this question have something to do with Jesus' values? I really bet that Jesus would advocate that all taxpayers support public schools, because public schools support the poor children who deserve an education. Children are innocent, after all, and are our future. Wasn't there something in the Bible about how we treat the poorest among us a measure of our humanity? Are you one of those Christians who wear the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) jewelry? I think it would be important for real Christians to ask themselves this question many times daily. I bet Jesus would be right out front on this issue, advocating for those poor children. Again, you reveal yourself as a "Christian" but not really a follower of Jesus.
