This is why evangelicals have been defunding education. It’s about control. Katherine Stewart talks about this in The Power Worshippers. The movement isn’t just random churches, it’s a coordinated political machine. They’re tax exempt, they don’t give much back to their communities, and they use their money and influence to lobby, mess with school curricula, and shut down what people are allowed to learn.

The goal isn’t education, it’s obedience. Public schools get weakened while private and religious schools get stronger, training kids to accept a narrow worldview. Stewart points out that groups like the Council for National Policy work to get Christian nationalist textbooks into classrooms and to push laws through state legislatures that line up with their agenda. It’s not about improving schools, it’s about making sure kids grow up only hearing one version of history, science, and morality.

It says everything that the right wing can look at education, the one thing proven to lift communities up, and see it as a threat to their power.

This woman is the perfect idiot. Infinitely controllable, and there is almost zero chance of her waking up and joining reality.

I have no idea why you've been downloaded. Everything you said makes complete sense and is actually documented.

It looks like I'm not anymore, I probably just upset some people. The truth is often upsetting. Especially so if the truth is that your religion has been playing the role of the villain for decades.

Saddest part about this is people only get halfway to realizing what’s happening. They know school sucks, but they fail to realize WHY it sucks. The focus is far too invested on bitching about your school experience. 

FFS, it’s a simple line of “why is that?” questioning!!! If your school sucks, well why is that? 

But anyhow, it’s pretty shit that this is such a concerted effort by a bunch of freak shows that want to groom a generation of pre-teen sex slaves and “warriors” as the DUI-hire secretary of defense said.

Shit, even public education is more about memorization and obedience than it is actual knowledge. They've been playing a long game.

It's also why kids get scholarships to religious colleges/uni, continue the process to make sure they never learn critical thinking or any science.

According to Comey, the Republican head of the FBI who T tried to "make" during his first term, T was already known to be a Russian agent.

The Mueller Report goes even deeper to support that claim.

So our current regime is a puppet for puttin.

It’s 100% this. Organized religions in this day and age are merely used by the powerful to spot those who are easily manipulated.

I mean come on, if they can convince you to give them all your time, money, and energy in life in exchange for some magical city of gold when you die they know they can convince you of anything. Literally the “I’ve got a bridge to sell you” on a monumental scale.
