Florida Man Flips The Script On Republican Culture War

Florida activist Chaz Stevens is taking the culture war to Florida Republicans by starting a petition to ban the Bible in public schools as well as any other book that references the Bible. The request comes as the state lets parents object to educational material, specifically material that contains sexual subjects.

“A Florida activist known for his tongue-in-cheek petitions to local government agencies has asked school districts in Florida to ban the Bible. In petitions sent to public school superintendents across the state, Chaz Stevens asked the districts to “immediately remove the Bible from the classroom, library, and any instructional material,” Stevens wrote in the documents, which were shared with NPR. “Additionally, I also seek the banishment of any book that references the Bible.” His petitions cited a bill signed into law last month by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which lets parents object to educational materials. That bill came about after some parents complained about sexually explicit books being taught in Florida schools. Many of those books, such as Gender Queer: A Memoir, deal with LGBTQ themes and coming out stories. DeSantis celebrated the removal of Gender Queer at a news conference after the signing of the law. It’s “a cartoon-style book with graphic images of children performing sexual acts,” he said last month. “That is wrong.””

Marjorie Greene’s DELUSIONAL Rant On The Catholic Church

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Greene blasted the Catholic Church in a recent interview, saying that Satan is controlling the church since they helped migrants and refugees find housing in the country. Greene accused the U.S. Catholic Church of illegally using taxpayer and federal funds to “assist in illegal immigration”.

“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into the Catholic Church in a recent interview with right-wing activist Michael Voris of Church Militant. In the wild interview, flagged online by Right Wing Watch, Greene charges “Satan’s controlling the church.” In a clip from the interview, Voris charges that U.S. Bishops “taken enormous sums of money from the federal government, federal taxpayers to assist in illegal immigration, some refugee resettlement also” to “essentially skirt around U.S. immigration laws.” “I thought we had a separation of church and state,” Greene said in response. “What it is, is Satan’s controlling the church,” Greene continued. Greene’s campaign website doesn’t list specifically what denomination of Christian is, but notes her “strong Christian faith.””

Fox Host Wants To BAN Public Schools

Fox News host Kennedy revealed the Republican Party’s master plan live in an appearance on the network, calling for an end to public schooling supplemented by the federal government. Republicans want nothing more than to privatize education and push marginalized groups, especially the poor and working classes, to the edges of society while rewriting curriculums to their liking. “Fox News host Kennedy just casually suggests that public schools should be eliminated. “A great time in our country’s history where we rethink whether or not we have public schools. Maybe we should not have the government involved in education at all.””

Corrupt Sheriff Threatens Journalist For Doing Her Job

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has launched an investigation into Los Angeles Times reporter Alene Tchekmedyian for publishing an article about Villanueva allegedly covering up a case of inmate abuse. In the article, Tchekmedyian implicated Villanueva as leading the cover-up effort and published security footage of the incident obtained from a whistleblower. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

“The Los Angeles County sheriff said on Tuesday that he was investigating a reporter at The Los Angeles Times who had reported allegations that he was involved in covering up a case of inmate abuse, an announcement that drew accusations that he was violating the reporter’s First Amendment rights. The reporter, Alene Tchekmedyian, published an article on Monday detailing a legal claim filed by an officer who accused Sheriff Alex Villanueva of blocking an investigation into the alleged abuse and retaliating against whistle-blowers. Ms. Tchekmedyian also published security video footage of a police deputy handcuffing the inmate, who had punched him in the face. Once the inmate was on the floor, the officer kept his knee on the inmate’s head for three minutes.”

Right Wing Leads Charge In Dismantling Public Education

Red States like Tennessee are moving more and more money out of public education funding, opting to give the funding to private charter schools through vouchers and other means of fund diversion. The privatization of education has long been underway as the right-wing has been chipping away at teacher unions, panicking over CRT, and more recently, the accusations that LGBT teachers are ‘grooming’ children to be gay in public schools. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.
