...but not at the federal level, right? Because no Dept. of Education.
Forced legal indoctrination.
Fuck your fairy tales.
Quite literally the opposite of constitutional law, so of course the activist conservative judges will do it.
Ughh
I wouldn't be surprised if it goes this way.
Religion is a tool for indoctrination and control. They want to be able to control the masses to keep power and wealth with the oligarchic elite. Religion and superstitious thinking is a direct contradiction to critical thinking. Religion literally makes people dumb, and therefore easier to manipulate.
I will have to look for Satanic classes, I guess. Or Flying Spaghetti Monster.
May you be touched by His noodely appendage. R’amen.
If they don't pray in our schools then we won't think in their church.
That's the deal that has gotten the USA to this point in history.
Goddamnit.
I don't have (or plan to have) kids, but I'm happy to pay the local taxes (and vote 'yes' on the various levies) that fund the schools because I don't want a bunch of stupid adults later. But shoving religion in makes me want to start looking for some kind of opt-out loophole. I definitely don't want my tax money going toward religious indoctrination.
I'm irritated enough that churches in my area are provided free spaces to worship. It's a common practice in Northern VA for churches to hold worship services in schools on the weekends and, in the case of my wife's former school, tear down LGBTQ+ club signs. Here comes more possible (probable) encroachment.
move to an unincorporated area. You would have to pay out of district fees if you had kids.
My area is unincorported (just outside of city limits). A portion of my property taxes go toward the schools.
Ah, your state probably does taxes differently or you're technically in a school district just not in town. There's school district black holes in my area, but they're usually pretty far out there.
