To claim that the state has the right to say that this subject should not
be tuaght to children of the state is horrific as well. To claim that the
state should have the right to determine what should be taught at all is
horrific.  I have more faith in the combination of parents who sincerely
want what is best for their kids coupled with kids who have a natural
amount of rebellion  and desire to be different from their parents than
I have in the benign state -- but I don't like it either way.
