Yes, and they're expensive.... in addition to paying for public schools through taxes. If you're going to teach..oh, make that discuss, religion in school, how many of the 10,000 religions are you going to discuss?
10 minutes on each religion is 100,000 minutes.
A 180 day year, with a typical 50 minute period, is 9,000 minutes.
So, if you spend 11.1 hours, every school day, you can do that. But somehow I think the science and other subjects would suffer.

Side rant: Which is why each child should get their allotment of state/federal funding to be applied to whatever form of education their parents prefer. It seems like the most fair way for children of all economic levels to have a shot at religious private school, secular private school, public school or home school. As it is too many kids are stuck with a mediocre system and without the ability to bargain for something better.

Yeah, yeah, I know, then the public system would go kaputs . . . would that really be a bad thing?
