Can you donate a few dollars to the groups that are fighting to protect the separation of church and state? It shouldn't take very long.
How about
Americans United for Separation of Church and State or the aforementioned
Texas Freedom Network?
This issue
is directly relevant to you.
Your tax dollars are used to fund public school education.
Your constitutional rights will be violated if your state allows religious dogma to be taught instead of actual science.
I am sure that at some point in your life, you will need to see a doctor or nurse. Don't you want your future medical professionals to have adequate scientific teaching in grade/high school? Don't you think it benefits the society that
you live in to ensure proper educational standards for public schools?
