Keep your eye on the ball, folks. The Dept. of Ed, is just a small obstacle being removed from the field of play. The real game is to take over and privatize all of American education. The even larger game is to hollow out the minds of our children and replace them with compliant clones filled with the nonsense of fascist, white supremacist, Christian nationalist hogwash. That makes the dynasties of fascist kings and the Axis of Despots a permanent feature of the American landscape, as each corrupted child's mind grows up and teaches their own children the same. That's how racism has endured for 160 years after the civil war. It's no secret. Blueprints right there in the text of Project 2025. Keep your eyes on Hillsdale College, Patriot Mobile and Academica Educational Mgmt Co. They are the little noticed spearheads of the takeover, already fairly far along in their plans to capture and destroy our public education system.
Hollowing out kids minds and filling it with crap is exactly what I was talking about. That is a lack of Education. That's exactly what religion does and all the institutions by which we live
yes. I was just extending your own point. But it's really not much about religion. It's about the extremist ideologies of the right. That's the stuff they are really stuffing. Religion and religious schools were just a handy device to help them do that. They were simply able to hijack the religious school archipelago and graft themselves onto it. A convenient implement for their schemes. Before that happened, those religious schools pretty much kept to themselves and minded their own business. In many cases, they were important contributors to broader humanitarian and progressive agenda.
When Hillsdale College started out as a small religious college, it was abolitionist and the first university to admit black students, the second in the country to graduate women. It had generals who fought for the Union army. After it was hijacked in the 70's it became one of the architects of the educational agenda of Project 2025, and now is a leading spearhead of the right-wing takeover of public education.
Religion is a good thing. Forcing anyone's religion on anyone else is a bad thing. Operating like (fill in the blank) religion is a basis for government is worse.
a good thing for adults, perhaps. Putting it in the defenseless minds of young children who cannot comprehend or decide for themselves is a form of child abuse. A recruiting tool used by organized religions to insure themselves of new members. Nothing more.
I sort of disagree. Close-minded education is not a type of education. Teaching children about God Is Not An Education, especially since no one knows anything about him. If you read the Bible as if God was somebody's name, which can easily be spelled out in Hebrew, it's a totally different story. After all, we too can make people.
Not sure which comment you're responding to. My own view is that any religious training/conditioning in early childhood is a serious form of child abuse. One's choice of religious belief (or none) is a matter that can have lifetime consequences, positive and negative. A choice to be made only by adults who can comprehend what they are being told , not something to be fed into the defenseless minds of young children. In reality, it is nothing more than a recruiting tool used by organized religions to insure they will have new members. A completely dishonest and disingenuous method of creating captive audiences.

I wrote a little history of how that all happened, www.poems4change.org/essays/education-end-of-evolution.pdf
