14 Wacky "Facts" Kids Will Learn in Louisiana's Voucher Schools

[moonbladem]

Thanks to a new law privatizing public education in Louisiana, Bible-based curriculum can now indoctrinate young, pliant minds with the good news of the Lord-all on the state taxpayers' dime.

Lies, fairytales, and fallacies. (which is all I can say right now, because otherwise I will hulk out and rage all over this)

Poor kids. But why does the American taxpayer have to pay for this? If you want to indoctrinate kids pay for it your bloody self. This lot probably think it's a bit 'red' and 'communist' to expect the state to pay for education out of redistributed taxes and wealth anyway.

This is tantamount to child abuse. Mental abuse, subjecting kids to lies and rumour that will make them grow up seriously unbalanced. When they're old enough to choose present the FACTS as they are and trust them to make their own decision, don't coerce them right from the word go from the cradle.

Stick that in your KKK rootin'-tootin' scaremongering pipe and smoke it, Jim-Bob!

But why does the American taxpayer have to pay for this?

Because Valarie Hodge (and probably at least a few of her peers) didn't realize that not all religions are Christianity. Which sadly means that she is/they are okay with the above. D:

And now that they have realized that Muslim schools can make use of the voucher system as well, they're down-right pissed about it!

Which makes the whole fiasco even funnier, in my books!

Correction: she REALIZED it, she didn't fucking care, because ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL AND MAKE YOU BORN AGAIN. OKAY. DOING IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. OKAY.

So, their plan is to actually dumb down future generations of Americans and make them the laughing stock of the world, right?

It's actually a good plan. Think the communists came up with it? Or was it the dinosaurs?

It's actually a Nazi plot that's been in the works since the downfall of the Third Reich.

(Sorry. I recently read an amazingly bad conspiracy theory book that blamed almost everything on the Nazis, which, yes, did include the American educational system's faults.)

That Nazis made you read that biook, it's part of their master plan, y'know *nods sagely*

[mingemonster]

The Nazis wrote the book to make us laugh at the idea, and then when we least expect it they will come back from their moon colony while we're too busy giggling

Pretty much this ^^^^^^ they also fetishize Christians who actually are violently persecuted (all of whom are minorities, most of whom converted via White Saviours teaching them the ways of the Jesus) via a magazine called Voice of the Martyrs, which publishes not just graphic stories of these people but also mostly unedited (most edits are to censor faces) violence and gore. My school was stocked to the brim with them and not only were all us kids, including the younger children, encouraged to read these magazines, but one of the few school trips we had was to go visit its local headquarters.

Oh, and the ministry leader of VOM recently committed suicide over police investigating him for sexually abusing a young girl.

It's part of the whole white savior missionary complex. I was raised in a church that fucking jizzed themselves over being missionaries ... it was in their title. They pushed shit like this over Africa and the Phillipines.
