Secular Spirituality in Public Schools
January 21, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Meeting of the Addled Minds discuss the need for "Secular Spirituality" in public schools:

https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/01/...-education

This is fucking bullshit. If it was secular, why embellish it with the word "spirituality"? Why not call attentiveness and consciousness what they are : brain states? Why label awe, wonder, mystery, purpose other than human emotions and needs? This is a foot in the door for religious bullshit and sets a precedent for further incursions of religion into the public sector. Spirituality is milquetoast religion.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
