And what does that have to do with whether it should be taught in school?

Are you actually suggesting that we should only learn what people pay for us to learn?

if churches want schools to teach church stuff they can simply pay taxes

How much in taxes do historians pay? Do a way with Social Studies.

they pay the same as everyone else in their income bracket? are there any special tax incentivies for social studies I don't know about

How many people become professional athletes? Just do away with PE.

this is a complete non sequitur. My claim is
'we shouldn't teach students about things if those things are treated as tax exempt'

your assertion is
'not very many people become atheltes, therefore we should not teach pe'

it is not valid.
the valid version of this argument would be 'atheletes don't pay taxes, therefore we should not teach about athletics'. however, this is unsound.

Let's take this a step further. Since students are legally required to attend school anyway and removing the wasteful programs has freed up some time in their schedule there are things they could do that are immediately profitable. Each school could partner with private organizations to produce some of their products. These new classes could even replace detention. Then if the students aren't doing well in production they can be given detention for that.

strawperson. this does not follow at all from what i said. next.
