Somehow the teachers DON'T have time to teach like they should, but they've got time to tinker in areas that have nothing to do with basic academic knowledge.
If you go to a doctor and you get instructions to do some of the treatments yourself, you'll be given specific instruction, not some open-ended "the more you get involved" crap. If you DO get a quack like that, you can refuse to pay and/or take your business elsewhere.
Try refusing to pay a teacher...it isn't even an OPTION, even if you do take your business elsewhere. My children have never set foot in a Public Edufactory, yet I pay just as much as the next guy, no tax breaks, no refunds, no compensation.

You may never need a cop or a librarian or a fireman. Are you suggesting that your taxes not pay for them? Or how about the 50% + roads in your county that you will never, ever use. Do you expect a tax cut because you don't have to pay for them? Don't be ridiculous. We all benefit from an educated citizenry...unless, there are those who would PREFER an uneducated citizenry.

I get that the story you cited makes you sick of ignorant, inbred religidiots...they make me want to vomit, too...but comparing that to what I said about schools is like comparing apples and orangutans.
