I find this highly objectionable. A person, and a society do not develop by censoring ideas. Some ideas have more merit than others, but the ideas that don't have merit should be evaluated as such, rather than censored. Don't believe in evolution? Great, defend your position. Don't plug your kid's ears and go "LA LA LA LA".People have equality. Rights do not. Religious rights have to take a backseat to other, more important rights. Otherwise I can go around shooting people, as long as it's because God told me to.

Are you seriously suggesting that the government has a better idea on what is more apt for children to learn...than parents of those children? Or is it merely only in those instances that you disagree with the parents beliefs?
Im not sure how children getting censored from being taught evolution (an extreme example btw) is any different than a myriad of other things parents prefer their children learn from them.
Your suggestion borders on totalitarianism....and i cannot beleive you or anyone else with a conscience would support that.....and more to the point, i would wager any amount that the WRA or any political party in this province would never even consider such.
