This country will be turned in the right direction.
I wonder if this means the disappearance of Evolution from the curriculum there ... something which arouses bemusement and ridicule in equal measure elsewhere - and has done ever since back when, with The Scopes Monkey Trial.
shareI hope not. We already had this debate 20 years ago, and the Evolutionists won decisively. As someone who isn’t religious but respects religion and tradition, I think the Right would do well to accept evolution and find a way to reconcile it with their faith.
A great example of how this can be done is Chris Hedges. He’s a deeply religious Christian and also highly informed and scientifically literate. He’s one of the best journalists out there right now, and the way he talks about faith offers a smart and thoughtful path forward for Christians who want to stay true to their beliefs while embracing science.
God created evolution.
Fixed it for you. 😁
It’s truly awe-inspiring when you think about it. From the simplest of processes, God, in His wisdom, has given rise to an incredible diversity and complexity of life. The elegance of this design, both profound and breathtaking, speaks to his greatness.
shareBut the right HATE diversity (especially the equity part) therefore goes against God's creation.
shareThe (far) right HATES both race mixing and the woke obsession with 'diversity,' precisely because they undermine the true diversity of cultures. Whites have their own culture, and that culture deserves to be preserved, not diluted by the influences of other races or cultures. The same principle applies to blacks and Asians. I wouldn't want to see Whites migrating into China, replacing the Chinese people, and eroding their millennia-old culture. Likewise, for the same reason, I don't want to see blacks or Muslim immigrants from the Middle East replacing White Europeans in Europe
shareThis is all so obvious to anyone who has followed the train of thought towards the logical conclusion.
shareHi glad to see you back with more humorous provocation, though this is not one of your better ones.
shareSomething which requires a god, a belief as yet unproven.
Sure...if you want a theocracy.
shareCan you imagine how many members of the Rainbow Reich working as teachers, or the atheists working in schools are gonna flip their lids over this? Pass the popcorn!
shareSorry to spoil your entertainment, but nobody's going to "flip their lid" over this. The educated people know how strong the vein of ignorance still is in this country, especially in the backward areas of the south.
shareThe "educated" are the ignorant ones.
shareThat's a laugh. Under the left controlled "education" system, our kids are getting worse and worse test scores.
shareOf course they are flipping their lids over the ending the DoE.... they will not be able to indoctrinate on a national level anymore.
shareAnd they hate Christianity. Oh boy do they hate it. And having to teach such values to kids instead of how to be one of them? I suspect many are either gonna quit or protest heavily.
shareLocal education should be a state's right to decide.
shareRight, so the constant moaning by the right about indoctrination of children by the left is conditional. It’s ok to brainwash kids, as long as we have control of how we are brainwashing them.
Sounds fair and just.
The left is teaching kids to be gay, showing them pornography and teaching them they could be born in the wrong body. They are also giving them hormones which makes them sterile and doing frankenstein surgeries on them. You dont see any issues with this degeneracy?
shareI have an issue with teaching children anything related to sexuality before they are mature enough to undestand it. In regards to acknowledging the real world with children and telling them the truth that some families have two fathers or two mothers, I would prefer they know that truth.
Your charged language is half the problem. Stop being hysterical and also ease off on the hypocrisy. Teach young kids the essentials but leave sex AND religion out of it.
Better this than the Woke garbage being forced on children by the Rainbow fascists. That said, it’s clearly unconstitutional, so I doubt it will gain any traction
shareWill children be taught that if Jesus did actually exist, he wouldn't have being white?
shareHey, take your stinky brown Jesus theories to another thread, thank you very much.
Jesus was white, he hated homos (or his Dad does, at least) and he believed women should live to serve their man. We won’t have any of your woke interpretations here thanks you poor lost lamb.
Does it hurt to know that he didn't exist and even IF he did he wouldn't have been white, you pathetic snowflake🤣
shareDude, you missed my irony.
I’m not religious by any measure. My response was in the vein of some of the more virulent believers we see on this forum for time to time. In short, I was taking the piss.
Sorry. Hard to tell in tone just looking at words sometimes. My bad.
shareNo hard feelings. Anyway probably my fault for being so sarcastic 😆
To respond to your comment genuinely I think it’s unlikely that indoctrinated religion in schools will come with any modern amendments. I dare say it will be the same ancient tome the church has spun for centuries and will still be used by bigots to justify mean-spirited and discriminatory personal views.
I think they're just gonna be taught morals that have their roots in Christianity, and maybe a few Bible verses that relate to some lesson. In a public school setting those things make more sense than teaching the actual Bible, because that goes into the theology sphere.
shareAnother dingdong who baselessly claims Jesus didn't exist. I wish I could travel back in time so I would "know".

FACT: Parents can teach their children the Bible anyway they seem fit. The reason the people pushing this is so they can use the government to teach other people's children the Bible. Prove me wrong.
shareNo objection to this as long as religion is kept out of science lessons and other faiths are also offered as part of comparative religion. After all the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not just the one some like with no alternatives.
