Taxpayers have been funding left-wing terrorist monsters to "teach"
children for how many decades now?
If it's fair to fund commies then it's fair to
fund anyone ELSE too. That State-ed is somehow
neutral - BULLSHIT.
But I'm old enough to remember when it was more
or less "right wing" - cold war. Mandatory readings
and entire courses. I remember a "Americanism -vs-
Communism" text book and a stubble-headed old
ex Marine was the teacher ! :-)
I'd LIKE to see a lot more non-WokieCom private
schools that are NOT "religious" - more Land Of
The Free instead with emphasis on practical
subjects. Fundy religion of ANY ilk has NEVER
been a friend of Liberty and Justice.
Unless the religion is the loser and is kicked out. Then, in its new
host country, they tend to be very freedom friendly, until they gain
majority, and then kick out everyone else.
Ya noticed that eh ? :-)
Humans, like many others, are a hierarchical species.
Everybody wants to be at the tops of the pecking order.
They use ANY options - including religion and genocide -
to GET to the top. It's instinctive, the 'default', and
thus VERY difficult to thwart longer-term. There are
social forms of "entropy" become tiresome to resist and
we drift back to that default behavior.
Post by DReligion has a built in claim to truth, which means that once it grows
powerful enough, it shuts down all other discussion. Very sad.
Well ... see the above ...
But if it's not religion then it's some close substitute,
some or another "-ism" that's bad for the majority and
Freedom and Justice and all that good stuff.
The modern concept/realization of republics/'democracy'
is NOT very old - mostly from the 1700s, the tail end
of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, Locke ........
Grand IDEA ... but that doesn't mean it will WORK, that
it can LAST.
Frankly, I'm not so sure it's "lasting" very well
anymore ... we keep drifting more and more back to
those "defaults", entropy takes its toll. I do
not see ANY nation that seems REALLY enthusiastic
about Life/Liberty/Justice/Happiness any more -
instead they keep creating more and more laws and
administrative tricks to crush their political foes.
And The Masses CHEER ......
So, you will have to excuse my somewhat negative
worldview. Human nature/IQ MOSTLY gets used to
move up that pecking order. It will literally
take a major Space Alien incursion to alter that
and it may may only have a temporary impact. We
are what we are - billions of years of Darwin's
rules built in.
CAN we live with that ? We'll see. The rapid rise
of hypersonic thermonuclear missiles and Fauci's
favorite bio-war labs are NOT encouraging.
