Tell you what, Mr. Stile -
Why not start a petition to the effect that citizens of the state of Idaho
should pay contributory taxes (in the amount that they feel comfortable
contributing) that support those programs, and only those programs, that
they desire to support?
You can also "kill two birds with one stone" by not paying your utility
bill. After a while, your electricity will be turned off, and just think of
the money you saved by not paying your utility bill.

Mr. Fox should be thankful that no compulsory attendance laws exist which
would require him to send his children to Logos, and that he does not have
submit to an "approved" exemption to those laws in order to educate his
children.
He should also be thankful that he is not compellled to pay taxes to
support Logos - especially in light of the fact that it seems to be a
violation of the dictates of his conscience. Not every citizen can say that
they aren't compelled to pay for schools they believe violate the dictates
of their consciences.
As Thomas Jefferson said (and yes, Nick, I have the original source
material for this quote if you'd like), "To compel a man to furnish
contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves
and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."
