school bossing

EDUCATION

If natural selection biology has been taught in public schools for almost a century and half the public currently believes in creationism, then what would be the fear of intelligent design being mentioned? This and a myriad of other petty disputes in public schools can easily be avoided to the satisfaction of most parents (if not the mind indoctrinators). A lack of Darwinian knowledge does very little harm to society at large when compared to the blatant economic illiteracy of the public. That is a very comical situation unto itself: the progressive elite, priding ones self on being knowledgeable, looking down upon those poor religious fools, anti-Walmart, yet not understanding something as simple as Ricardo's law of comparative advantage (specialise in what your country does best, trade for the rest), or the law of demand's negative slope (raising the minimum wage, will decrease the number of entry level low skilled jobs). Here is a novel idea: Why not have the state put a dollar sign above every k-12 pupils head, and let schools public and private compete by offering high quality education similar to the U.S. college market, which is the best in the industrialised world, as opposed to the government monopoly in k-12 education. This could be known as a "school voucher" program or "school choice". This may be heresy in the modern liberal progressive church but i thought they were for choice. Instead, they burn at the stake any reform effort that doesn't conform to their universalist doctrine.
