Imagine imprisoning the people who are responsible for bringing new, functional adults to our society for the inane crime of teaching.

The scary part about it is, they probably don't believe that is what they're doing at all. I'd wager almost all of the people getting behind this are people who believe that the responsibility of bringing new, functional adults to society is the sole purview of the church.

Who better to arrest? The Republicans want to infect the minds of the kids and purging/silencing the teachers who don't comply makes sense.

Well, when education is kind of a problem for your plans of building a third world country...

could you imagine having so much time on your hands that you debase the entire intellectual potential of your tribe, town, city, what have you, just by being a self righteous prick about pieces of paper with words printed on them?

i was just in another thread. and for some reason. people take HUGE offense to being knowledgeable. like if you try to climb out of the ignorant bucket but you almost can't because the other crabs pull us back down.

you could rape a mans wife, flay his children before his eyes and he wouldn't lift a finger to object, but say you have a book? and this book teaches you stuff? oh, that's greater than any sin imaginable (the best part is i didn't mention what book, but id love to hear everyone's 'self righteous' projections about which one)

Some dumb motherfuckers read Fahrenheit 451 and thought "Hey, that sounds like a good idea. Why aren't we doing that?"

Ok, so we've just never followed where the first amendment says there will be no national religion

[–] sebinspace 11 points 1 year ago

No, we’re too busy furiously masturbating to the second amendment. After all, that’s the only one that counts!
