Texas GOP Rep: “Our Schools Are Not God-Free Zones”
This is another attempt at a Christian take over of the US. As is pointed out, the idea that the US was founded as a Christian nation is a complete fabrication fantasy by religious zealots. But these Christian warriors won’t stop, won’t be deterred by facts, and will keep pushing until they manage to take over the US and create the Christian Taliban to force the public to live by their religious doctrines. Think of it, everyone forced to live by the dictates of the worst of the fundamentalist of the Christian religion. We have seen this in other countries where religion has taken over the government. Think of Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia. Women lose all rights, no other religions tolerated, schools do not teach facts or science but instead push religious text as the truth no matter how impossible or debunked they are. You think the bans on abortion, trans people including adults allowed medical treatment to transition, and bans on drag shows are the end of what these religious zealots want? No, they want complete control to force their religion, their religious way of life on all the public. First they took over the Republican Party and then the courts. Now they are taking over state governments and school boards. Back in the 1980s Christian leaders pushed their most harden followers to go to homeschooling. Because it is clear that education shows the flaws of fundamentalist religious beliefs. The more liberal a church tries to force people to believe in the bible / holy texts the more good education based in science and historical fact disproves it. So the solution was to ruin public education. And that is what has been happening by the Republican Party driven by corporate greed and religious zealotry. I just read some more actions of Florida to force government to pay for private / religious education. Interesting fact, countries that do not have private schools have the greatest quality public education. Because if the wealthy have to use the same schools as the public or the poor, they make damn sure those schools are well funded and have the best teachers possible producing the best outcomes for all students. In the US you have expensive private schools that have the best education for the smallest amount of students, public education system for the majority of students that struggle to provide an education, and the worst possible homeschooling or charter schools which can mean anything from a single focused education on one subject to simply pushing religious dogma as truthful accepted education. The children are the future as everyone knows, so the ideology and religious zealots are trying to change the future by keeping the children from learning true science, true history, true biology, and true understanding of reality.

Courthouse News reports:
Senate Bill 1515 would require a poster of the Ten Commandments to be in every public school classroom in the state. Under Senate Bill 1396, public school districts would be able to adopt policies allowing for a moment of prayer and a reading from the Bible or other religious text during the school day. Senate Bill 763 is a measure that would allow school districts to employ chaplains to serve as school counselors.
Republican state Senator Mayes Middleton of Galveston authored both SB 1396 and SB 763. During the layout of SB 1396 on the Senate floor, he told his fellow lawmakers that the bill is needed to expand religious liberties in public schools. “The reality is that our school children and faculty spend much of their lives in the school building and classroom…and our schools are not God-free zones,” said Middleton.
The Texas Tribune reports:
Waving a copy of the Ten Commandments and a 17th-century textbook, amateur historian David Barton recently argued that Christianity has always formed the basis of American morality and thus is essential to Texas classrooms.
“This is traditional, historical stuff,” he told a Texas Senate Education Committee last month. “It’s hard to say that anything is more traditional in American education than was the Ten Commandments.”
For nearly four decades, Barton has preached that message to politicians and pews across the country, arguing that church-state separation is a “myth” that is disproven by centuries-old texts, like the school book he showed senators, that reference the Ten Commandments and other religious texts.
As Right Wing Watch has doggedly reported for years, Barton’s claims that foundational US documents directly quote the bible are completely false.
Mayes Middleton is a former board member of the anti-LGBTQ Texas Public Policy Foundation, which is behind the state’s ongoing pogrom against trans people.
Montana Republican Says She’d Rather Her Child Died Than Be Trans
The discussion between Sam, Emma, and the crew as they break down what this woman is really saying here is the important part of the video. Notice the woman says she spent all her time on the floor praying but it seems she neglected to talk to the very doctors who could have given her daughter the help she really needed. Yes a book written 2,500 years ago has the updated medical knowledge to treat gender issues of teenagers today. This woman wanted a religious womanly future for her daughter, she did not care what the daughter felt or what was going on in the daughter’s body. The only things she was worried about was her god and her daughters continuing to be in her god’s good graces. As she says at one point, she wanted her daughter to have a shining womanly future. It seems the daughter was rejecting the woman’s religious views, and that couldn’t be allowed. Hugs
Montana Republican State Representative Kerri Seekins-Crowe made controversial remarks during a floor debate on a bill that would ban transgender youth from participating in school sports.
Seekins-Crowe said that she would rather her child died than be transgender. Seekins-Crowe’s remarks were met with widespread condemnation. Many people called her remarks hateful and transphobic. Some people also called for her to resign from her position.
Seekins-Crowe’s remarks are a reflection of the deep-seated transphobia that exists in Montana and across the country and that transgender people are still facing discrimination and violence. They are also a reminder that there is still much work to be done to achieve equality for all people, regardless of their gender identity.

U.S. religious extremists help push radical anti-gay laws in Africa
This is all about forcing their religious views on others, despite the medical evidence they are wrong. People are born gay, conversion therapy won’t work. But more important, being gay is not a sickness needing a cure. These people do such harm in their attempt to push their hate and the hate of their god on to everyone else. These are the Christian Taliban and the Christian ISIS missionaries. They demand the right to oppress others, and since they lost that right in most developed countries they are trying to prevent acceptance in the undeveloped countries from ever taking hold. They came their god is all powerful and that their god creates every person individually, so why does their god keep making gay and trans people? Hugs
