And a MUCH higher percentage of kids are taught garbage by the state than by religious homeschoolers. Children belong to their own families, not to the state, except in cases of serious abuse, and deviating from the state's (and statists') approved dogma does not constitute child abuse. I'm an atheist myself, so I have no interest in teaching religion, but I do have a strong interest in parents having more say than the state in what their own children are taught to believe. I'll take the marketplace of diverse ideas that parents sincerely teach to the children they love over the state's agenda for the people it intends to govern, any day. Parents, whether religious or not, should be the primary decision makers in their own children's educations.
