I always shook my head when I heard your argument Tom. I saw it as a boogeyman first, and thought police second.

One of the first tenants of schools, private or public, is parental involvement. In other words, more education comes from the home than the school. Yet you figured you could control the spread of beliefs by controlling what was taught in school.

Another extrapolation of that is that schools/government know better what to teach and what should be believed than parents. That lose of freedom and abrogation of thought to the state is the scariest boogeyman of all.

Craig,

Witty response, it brought a smile to my face. However, religious extremism is germaine to the voucher debate while Hillary and Ted are completely unrelated.

I don’t know; I think Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton are scarier boogeymen than Mormon Fundamentalists.

Hear hear!

This was one of the aspects of the failed law that bugged me the most.

Thanks for pointing out the article!
