That would be a total fabrication on your part - my girls until just recently have been educated in Catholic Schools - they have the same textbooks in reading, math, science, history, english that the public schools have.

What a load of BS.
Now where in my post did I say I was at a Catholic school?
I said a PRIVATE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL not a CATHOLIC SCHOOL!!

The school book I read from was religion based. It was not a religion book, it was a History book.

If anything you're fabricating because no where in my post did I say I read the book at a Catholic school.

And yet it's Republicans that keep such entities afloat with taxpayer money.

Can you tell me how many children the Department of Education actually educates for their $56 billion budget costs?
Actually, I think most conservatives utilize the public schools because they are free!

TAXES! OMG! Tax supported schools! Don't tell me! And you know, not everybody pays the same amount! How communiist! BTW, they are free at the point of service. No one is turned away b/c they didn't pay enough in taxes.
