Southern Baptists to formulate exit plan from public schools

I say go for it.

As concerns persist about how classrooms are handling subjects such as homosexuality and ''intelligent design,'' some members of the nation's largest Protestant denomination want the Southern Baptist Convention to consider creating an exit strategy from public schools.

A committee at the Southern Baptists' annual gathering was scheduled to report Wednesday on a resolution that would urge the denomination to form a strategy for removing Southern Baptist children from public schools in favor of home schooling or education at private schools.


Seriously, if it would mean that Southern Baptists would stop trying to impose their views of science and sex education on the public school system, I am all for their plan to educate their own kids however they want. I feel sorry for their children, who will not be taught about modern science or much of anything else that isn't "bible-based" but at least hopefully the Southern Baptists will leave the children of parents who are not Southern Baptists alone.

Is this too much to hope for?
