I get the humor in the irony, and it's a meme place, but never give an inch. A private school can do what they want, but public is owned by the people, and there cannot be discrimination with religious stances. So therefore, no side can be chosen, even in jest.

Not a fan of the theocracy that's been allowed to seep in over many decades being wrapped in falsities.

Republican state Rep. Brandon Reed of Hodgenville filed the legislation that created the new law. He says he’s disappointed to see schools “spend time searching for silly loopholes,” noting the law passed with broad support.

I’m disappointed to see representatives spending time making bullshit laws instead of actually helping our children with things that matter, like food, education, housing, and not growing up to be Republican dipshits.

But these people can't be good Christians if they don't force their religion onto the impressionable kids! How else do they get new kids to help please the local church overlords with their sexual desires?

The point is not that the church is evil. The point is that it's wrong and unAmerican even if the church is everything it claims to be.

Your church can be all about helping others, making a more equitable world, non-judgement, providing community services, teaching good ethics, etc. (what are you, pastafarian?), but it still does not belong in the public schools. Sorry not sorry to Christians and Pastafarians.

Who even made missionizing such a big looming part of it all anyways, that guy was a fuck!

It stems from a prophecy involving the return of Christ. He was supposed to return when there were Christians World Wide.

The prophecy got fulfilled in 1844.
