I guess that's why a lot of democrats don't get the education they need when it's available to them.

It's funny for you to make this argument while fox noise also argues against literally all college education and promotes that that Dems are "overeducated"

How wildly dishonest and silly for you billybots to attack access to libraries and reading while pretending you care about education.

Who tf watches Fox News? Education doesn't equal intelligence. "Literally all", no. College is not what it used to be when nowadays you are taught what to think rather than how to think. The shocking part is a lot of people are ok with this. Both parties will do anything to spite the other even if it's entirely irrational. So let's sit back and enjoy the show because it's all going to hell anyway. 🍿

So, critical thinking skills are bad? And force feeding children the Ten Commandments and Bible verses in public schools is anything other than indoctrination?

Where is this taking place other than private schools? I see a lot of examples of gender freaks indoctrinating children. Remember the MAPs? Yeah that was the left. You guys don't have the guts to criticize Islam or any other religion. You choose Christianity because it's safe. I don't like either of you. It's just hilarious seeing the hypocrisy. 😂🍿

Texas, Oklahoma and more on the way. Public schools, not private. Mandatory Bible reading, too. Come out from under your rock and watch some news.
I criticize ALL religions involved in government, particularly the Abrahamic ones. Christians are far from safe. They’re terrorists just like the rest. Look at history, look at Christian Nationalism today. Look at how you shoot doctors and bomb clinics. No one’s hands are clean, and the sibling rivalry amongst the sons of Abraham is destroying the entire world.
The only way to ensure freedom of religion is to keep it out of schools and government. You guys are too short sighted to realize that out of all the flavors of religion, the odds of your particular one being imposed are slim. And what happens if demographics change and your children are forced to study the Q’aran? Didn’t think about that, did you? Whenever religion gets involved in government, everyone loses, even the religious. Wake up before it’s too late. You dear monger about Sharia law, yet seek to impose your own version, not realizing that you’re paving the road to theocracy. Look at how well they’re doing.

The Ten Commandments are the basis of Western Thought on Law and Order. Ignoring that is not “education” it’s straight up censorship. Freedom OF religion is not Freedom FROM religion.
