    So, this sort of thing is just (or at least mostly) porky-point ruining public education, right? Like:

    porky-happy "We're legally obliged to provide an education. But if you want that education to be 'factual', or 'based in reality', or 'not actively harmful to understanding the world' you are going to have to pay for the premium package."

      Considering how many private schools are religious idk how much of a difference it makes. I went to catholic school, because it was pretty much the only option available, but the catholics where I'm from aren't crazy creationists. Not even the evangelicals are like that

        Yeah, Catholics (or at least the pope) accept evolution, they just think God is putting a finger on the scales to effect the outcomes.

      Idk, I might just file this one under “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”. Sometimes the religious nuts in deeply religious areas just get the right people in positions of power and do stuff like this.
