2. They don't trust public schools to teach about history, science, civics, literature, biology, or current events.

But they want public schools to teach Christian doctrine?

Nobody is telling "other families that they cannot allow their children to learn about the Lord of the Universe".

Families are perfectly free to teach religion in their homes, in their churches, in their private schools.

Time, maybe, for Church of Satan to offer RTRI programs. We'd soon see who wants to deny religious teaching as a public school program.
