Yesterday I briefly mentioned that Louisiana just passed a bill that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments.
I said this display of their religion was in response to the left’s display of its religion in schools over the past several years.
Some people balked a little at my description. What could you possibly mean, Adam? The left is famously non-religious. Especially these woke public school teachers!
Aren’t they religious, though?
What else but a religion would you call an ideology that gives you a set of values based on assertions that must be taken on faith?
Trans-ideology, for example. Isn’t that part of a religion? Are you telling me that science supports that ideology?
How about this unwavering faith in climate change “science” and its accompanying alarmism, catastrophism, and the evil-doers who cause it? Sounds a lot like some kind of eschatology to me.
I don’t know exactly what’s behind this insistence that teachers sexualize young kids, either explicitly or getting them to think about gay/straight sex and trans ideology at such a young age, but it sure seems like a religion to me.
I could go on and on. You get what I mean.
So when conservatives and Christians respond with the Ten Commandments, I get it.
As I said yesterday, it looks like a very tame response to me. I was expecting something much more drastic.
Anyway, today’s article is a brief one because a friend and I are going to escape the Vegas heat and go hiking up on Mt. Charleston.
Thanks as always for your time and attention. I really appreciate it.
Naturally,
Adam
Laurence Vance put out a good article on this issue last year
