As I watched mom volunteers go from classroom to classroom scanning bar codes on books, all I could think is it’s not an emphasis on christian. It’s an emphasis on nationalism! How can they be so unaware of fascism and the history of control imposed on its people pre WWII in Germany?! I’m so upset with the controls being placed on teachers in Texas! I’m looking for my exit strategy!

They are products of the poor, dumbing down of education that has been inflicted upon Americans for decades. It is a major tactic used to prepare for authoritarian regimes. Now they can control masses of people who are historically and civically ignorant.

The US is perfectly prepared for that, since things have only gotten moreso since H.L. Mencken observed back in 1924, during the Scopes Monkey Trial frenzy, that "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average American."
