teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Republican Lauren Boebert says she wants ‘biblical citizenship training’ in public schools
Pink News
Quote:Boebert’s chilling comments were made on an episode of FlashPoint, a Christian news show which airs on the Victory Channel, owned by the anti-LGBTQ+ televangelist Kenneth Copeland.
The Colorado Republican and gun rights activist, who has previously said that LGBTQ+ people should be banned from coming out before the age of 21, discussed the upcoming midterm elections and said Republicans must prove that they will “get America rolling again”.
She added: “Maybe we need to have some sort of legislation that requires… biblical citizenship training in our schools. And that’s how we get things turned around.”
Fuck her.
Barbary Treaty Article 11.
Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists
Jefferson's "Question with boldness even the existence of a God, for if there be one, surely he would pay more homage to reason than to that of blindfolded fear."
Susan B. Anthony, "I distrust those who know so well what God wants them to do because I always notice it coincides with their own desires."
But most importantly, "no religious test" in the United States Constitution's oath of office.
Point being we are not a theocracy. And indoctrinating children into a religion are what states like Saudi Arabia and terrorists groups like A Qaeda and the Taliban do.

FL Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is blocking the College Board from launching its much-anticipated Advanced Placement course on African American Studies for high school students in the state
His administration claimed that the course “significantly lacks educational value” and that its curriculum violates the state’s Stop WOKE ACT, a 2022 law that bars schools and workplaces from “subjecting any student or employee to training or instruction that espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels such individuals to believe specified concepts constitutes discrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin.”
DeSantis famously referred to Florida as the state “where woke goes to die” during his November 2022 reelection speech.
According to the Miami Herald, the state’s Department of Education did not make clear what, specifically, about the course violates the 2022 act. Instead, the department said in a letter that they will be open to discussions on a course that is deemed lawful.

Apparently, Trump believes that German fruit bread cost him his job - he has tweeted that the election was 'stollen'.

You left out the best part - they also demanded a census of trans students - presumably so that they know how many yellow stars to order.
To be honest, watching florida fully implode from afar just fits for me. How else could the rape of the state have ended, anyway? They're running out of coastline to wreck, but there will always be more floridians.

I've never seen this since moving here in 2006. Must be sold in some weird of specialty store like down on Harry Hines Blvd. where you can apparently get anything.
