Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So, this sort of thing is just (or at least mostly)
ruining public education, right? Like:
Considering how many private schools are religious idk how much of a difference it makes. I went to catholic school, because it was pretty much the only option available, but the catholics where I'm from aren't crazy creationists. Not even the evangelicals are like that
Yeah, Catholics (or at least the pope) accept evolution, they just think God is putting a finger on the scales to effect the outcomes.
Nah this is capital eating itself - this is what is meant by fascism being capitalism in decay. The imperialists have consumed their own propaganda and truly believe that they live in a fair and rational system. As such any issue must be a moral one.
It used to be you wanted to give them no education so you could give the good jobs to your failson, but we've kinda moved on from that structure. Now you make them do the good job stuff for menial pay and give your failson a pointless c-suite gig.
Worsening the quality of education is against the interest of capital, as it decreases the supply of properly educated peasants that can be used for stuff fancier than toiling in the fields. This means their productive capability worsens, they are more beholden to the workers with the requisite knowledge and they will have to pay more and agree to bargain for it. This is not in the capitalists interest.
It is, however, of interest to Christian fascists who are given more power as things get worse.
Idk, I might just file this one under “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”. Sometimes the religious nuts in deeply religious areas just get the right people in positions of power and do stuff like this.
