Wouldn't you agree that if you send your kid to public school, you don't have the right to start picking and choosing what parts of the curriculum they will learn? Do you feel that you have the right to say "I don't want my kid to learn about war in history class because war is offensive to me."?


I believe I absolutely have that right. I want a range of choices that allows me to choose the school with the curriculum I want (we do that for colleges). The problem is government monopoly schools that add these extraneous items. This questionnaire is not part of a "curriculum" of study.

legislating from the bench

As an aside, this is a phrase I love to hate. I contend that there are many things that should be decided by courts and not by the legislative process (aka the will of the collective). Where those boundaries lie is certainly open to debate, but not every aspect of society should be subject to the whim of 50% + 1.
