Just because a child lacks knowledge in one particular area it hardly makes them ignorant or indicate they have had an inferior education.

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 bar their kids from learning stuff all the time (sometimes intentionally, other times unintentionally). But you know what, they grow up and if something interests them they will find a way to learn about it.

People have equality. Rights do not. Religious rights have to take a backseat to other, more important rights.

You have
got to be kidding. I don't have a religious bone in my body, yet I find it offensive that people think this way.
This has got to be the most asinine thing you have said yet. And people wonder way religions feel shunned and censored.
Have you read the charter of rights?
