Vote no on this bill. There is a seperation of church and state for a reason. If you want children to learn about relgion take them to church or send them to a private school. There is no need for this in public school curriculum.

I strongly oppose this bill. You got your vouchers that will brankruot this state and help only rich families. That's enough. Keep your religion,the Moms 4 Christian Facisim & the Family Leader with their extreme beliefs out of our public schools and public policy. That's what church is for on Wednesday and Sunday nights.Kids learn enough of religion during Westren civilization. They recieve a broad view of how mutiple religions influenced the people, governments and cultures of the Near East,Europe in the Middle Ages to the Proestant Reformation and Cold War.The real groomers are showing their hand and it's terrible.
