Child abuse is …
Who needs hatred when they have Christian love?
Physical violence and sexual abuse? It’s a good thing no teacher mentioned the fact that Heather has two mommies. The Republicans would have closed the place down.
Unlicensed religious schools.
At this point, we have to ask if there is any “Christian” organization that doesn’t abuse children.
A very high percentage of camps and wilderness experiences for young people labeled delinquent are abusive. There have been numerous scandals involving secular camps and adding Jesus is pretty much bound to make it worse.
“Last year, Missouri lawmakers passed legislation that gives the state
more oversight over unlicensed religious boarding schools, including the
ability to petition a court to close them if there are health and
safety concerns.”
Unlicensed boarding schools should be not be permitted, religious or otherwise. The GOP ideal of the invisible hand of the free market doesn’t work as long as the marketer gets to keep their practices invisible to the parents and guardians.

Patriot Front Extremists March In Downtown Boston
Holy dogs that love gravy this is history happening again. The US is being taken over by right wing thugs with approval from the Republican party. Hugs
The Boston Herald reports:
A group of about 100 marchers identifying themselves by flyers as belonging to the white nationalist group the Patriot Front, cut through the heart of downtown Saturday sparking a confrontation. A scanner call came in at around 12:30 p.m. announcing that a group had gone up to a rental truck parked in the area of the Haymarket MBTA station and off-loaded a number of shields and flags.
Many were U.S. flags, with at least one flown upside-down and many showing just the 13 stars in a circle for the original U.S. colonies, as well as flags featuring different designs. Many flags also had a stylized version of the symbol that represented Benito Mussolini’s National Fascist Party. Photos from the scene show that many, if not most, of the marchers were dressed in matching khaki pants and navy polo shirts and wore bandanas over their lower faces.

Still white, still wearing matching outfits, still scared white men
Again with the anonymous haters. They aren’t brave enough to show their faces, but happy to show their hate. Man up boys and show us who you are!
They took a page out of their grandparents’ KKK playbook. Disguise your identity so you won’t be identified and fired from your job.
Masks don’t bother them when they are covering their faces because they are racist haters.
No pre-announcement of their plans to march… so that they meet no organized response. Masks… so that no one is identifiable. Ditto for the khaki/nay uniform.
Immediate dispersal when pushback from the public starts. So brave, these patriots.
I’m learning US American culture :
– the more flags you have, the more of a ‘patriot’ you are.
So these dressed-up boys must be real ‘patriots’.

White House Encourages “Don’t Say Gay” Complaints
From White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:
Today, some of Florida’s most vulnerable students and families are more fearful and less free. As the state’s shameful “Don’t Say Gay” law takes effect, state officials who claim to champion liberty are limiting the freedom of their fellow Americans simply to be themselves.
Already, there have been reports that “Safe Space” stickers are being taken down from classrooms. Teachers are being instructed not to wear rainbow clothing. LGBTQI+ teachers are being told to take down family photos of their husbands and wives—cherished family photos like the ones on my own desk.
This is not an issue of “parents’ rights.” This is discrimination, plain and simple. It’s part of a disturbing and dangerous nationwide trend of right-wing politicians cynically targeting LGBTQI+ students, educators, and individuals to score political points.
It encourages bullying and threatens students’ mental health, physical safety, and well-being. It censors dedicated teachers and educators who want to do the right thing and support their students. And it must stop.
President Biden has been very clear that every student deserves to feel safe and welcome in the classroom.
The Department of Education will be monitoring this law, and any student or parent who believes they are experiencing discrimination is encouraged to file a complaint with the Department’s Office for Civil Rights.
Our Administration will continue to fight for dignity and opportunity for every student and family—in Florida and around the country.

In trainings, Florida tells teachers that religion belongs in public life
https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/07/02/desantis-civics-separation-church-state/
Is this the theocratic state of Florida? Forcing teachers to lie about religion and the fact history pushed by religious fanatics? Why is DeathSantis doing this? He did not seem this religious before but I guess it fits his thug personality these days. Hugs

Other materials included fragments of statements that were “cherry-picked” to present a more conservative view of American history, some attendees said. In a possible effort to inoculate some Founding Fathers against contemporary political complaints, some slides in a presentation pointed out that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson repudiated slavery; unsaid is that both men held enslaved people and helped worked toward a Constitution that enshrined the practice.
“My takeaway from the training is that civics education in the state of Florida right now is geared toward pushing some particular points of view,” said Broward County teacher Richard Judd, who attended the three-day training. “The thesis they ran with is that there is no real separation of church and state.”
The First Amendment prevents the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” which scholars widely interpret to require a separation of church and state.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has made civics teaching a cornerstone of his education policy, and he says he’s fighting back against “woke indoctrination” of students by teachers from kindergarten to colleges.
“We’re unabashedly promoting civics and history that is accurate and that is not trying to push an ideological agenda,” DeSantis said at an event this week.
In Florida, he said, students are “learning the real history, you’re learning the real facts.” DeSantis has signed into law new civics curriculum standards, introduced last year for middle-schoolers, which met with little opposition from teachers, who say they are comprehensive and apolitical.
But the “civics bootcamps” DeSantis launched this summer to instruct teachers on how to implement the curriculum have alarmed many in public schools. Judd said the trainers told teachers, “This is the way you should think.”
“One of the insulting assumptions was that we’re all these woke indoctrinators, and so they were presenting a remedy for that,” Judd said.
The training sessions began last month and will continue through July for teachers who volunteer to take them. While not mandated by the state, they come with a $700 stipend for three-day sessions, with a chance to earn a $3,000 bonus and a “Civics Seal of Endorsement.”
Anna Fusco, president of the Broward Teachers Union, said she’s glad the state isn’t mandating the training, but that many teachers are signing up to get the stipends. She said union members who attended the training sessions said they were being told to present to students “only one side of history.”
“It was basically, it’s this way or no way, like there’s only one side to American history,” Fusco said. “Then they kind of slipped in a Christian values piece, ignoring the fact that this country is made up of so many different cultures and religions.”
Central Florida Civics teacher Abe Lopez supports DeSantis’s emphasis on civics and the way the governor believes the subject should be taught. DeSantis invited Lopez to speak at his June 30 event announcing improved civics assessment scores among middle-schoolers. Lopez, who was a member of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s staff, said he was surprised during his first year of teaching last year that his seventh graders knew so little about civics.
“I used this opportunity as a blank slate to help my students understand that their rights are intrinsic and do not come from a man, they do not come from a government. Our rights come from a creator,” Lopez said in his speech. “And once you acknowledge that your rights come from a creator, they can’t be taken away by a man or a government.”
In an interview, Lopez, who was a national committeeman for the Republican National Hispanic Assembly and who in 2020 posted information on Twitter for “Stop the Biden Steal” rallies in Florida, said he keeps politics out of his classroom.
“We need excellence in civics education, and I think Governor DeSantis’s program is a model for the nation,” Lopez said.

Brain-washing, indoctrination, propagandizing, call it what you will – all at taxpayer expense! USA, USA! We’re #1! (in utter stupidity)
It will be a serious wakeup call for some of these student who seek good higher education. They’ll find out they were lied to, not educated.
American Exceptionalism Nov 2016 —–>
My husband went to Michigan State in the mid 60’s. He said a lot of freshman had remedial classes in many subjects they didn’t have in their high schools.
And Southern culture became nationalized. I cringe still when finding country music stations up here.
Europe got tied of their shit after the inquisition.
They moved to America to harass the native Americans with religious gunk.Not on John Roberts’Reich Supreme Court, where Catholic child rape cult members and enablers are in charge
How Orwellian.
If we are going old school as a kid in the 50’s Italians were not considered white. Wonder if Ron wants to bring that back.
If there isn’t a 12 step program for christoholics, there should be.
But this isn’t grooming or brainwashing kids, no siree.
The next civil war will be a religious one. To get away from their control.
Religion belongs in public life, eh? That could prove interesting:
