Seems to me this type of nonsense gets a free pass only because it is tied to religion.

How much tolerance would there be for parents who teach their children that AIDS is a myth by pharmaceutical companies?


None, the tolerance stems from the fact that those who create our laws either believe in the madness, or realize the power that controlling that faith has over the masses.

That and it's been widely accepted for well over a few thousand years....only recently has atheism and logic/common sense become prominent

...should the state deny you the right to brainwash your own children with all the zeitgeist conspiracy crap ?

...the same tolerance allowed for parents that indoctrinate their children with " Loose Change " or the zeitgeist vids .

I don't intend to share my political views with my children, to be honest....I can't deny they will obviously have some of my views rub off on them, that's unavoidable, but I will never pressure or force them to watch view any reading materials or videos or otherwise attend any ceremonies or gatherings of people.

I think it's completely wrong in every conceivable way.
