I have no problem with people believing in whatever religion they

Socialism is thought by some to be a religion (1), are you OK if we ban the
teaching of socialism in public schools? Let's stick to things we know are

I'll support not funding religious schools or religious activities in public

have to pay, I am going to require hewing a fine line. No Noah murals and no
banning christian clubs on school property either.
