- |What about children who get teased because their parents are drug addicts,
- |child molesters, or just enjoy a quite evening with a farm animal or two?
-

- molesters are persecuted unfairly or unnecesarily? Probably not.

- your example of tolerance, there would be no need for teaching it in

- |HOWEVER, I will not allow you to teach my children ideals which are in direct
- |conflict with our family beliefs. Introduce the curriculum in public schools,
- |I'll put my kids in private school. Force it on the private schools, and I
- |teach them at home. Try to bring it into my home and I'll meet you at the door

- If the government were interested in forcing a curriculum in your

- As it is, the issue of religious freedom is contradictory to public
- education unless public education can accomodate all religious beliefs.
- Public education usually fails at this. This issue has been mulled over
- many times. There's never a principled solution. It's simply a matter
- of concessions.
