I think we should just take a few southern states, break them off, and let the dumb people all opt in to living there if they want to be intentionally ignorant.

Sorry, too late. 160 years after the end of the Civil War, the Confederates finally won. And all they had to do was find the right Yankee.
I suggest we move all the Cubans to America, make them citizens, and use Cuba as the island for ~~misfit toys~~ these ignorant freaks.
Let me guess -- the same people don't want kids to be able to be opted out of religious stuff in schools
Mahmoud v Taylor is objecting to the idea that teachers will be forced to read books that contain ideas that go against whatever beliefs they claim to have.
I don't get what their ideal system would be like. Homeschool style curriculum taught by tax funded public teachers?
You can already interact with institutions and have a say in what is taught -- where's the opt outs for religiously influenced policy decisions, like abortion or contraceptives?
"We decided something democratically, but I didn't like the outcome and want an option to not live by it." The religious are preaching to the choir.
Edit: link to a source, but probably not a good one because I never figured out a good way to read this stuff on my own. https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=%2Fdocket%2Fdocketfiles%2Fhtml%2Fpublic%5C24-297.html
