Here we go - Florida school training for religious indoctrination

South Florida high school educators are alarmed that a new state civics initiative designed to prepare students to be “virtuous citizens” is infused with a Christian and conservative ideology after a three-day training session in Broward County last week.

Teachers who spoke to the Times/Herald said they don’t object to the state’s new standards for civics, but they do take issue with how the state wants them to be taught.

“It was very skewed,” said Barbara Segal, a 12th-grade government teacher at Fort Lauderdale High School. “There was a very strong Christian fundamentalist way toward analyzing different quotes and different documents. That was concerning.”

We'll all be living in a theocracy if this guy gets anywhere near the presidency.

Florida reaps the rewards of the SALT Cap - by underfunding their schools they take away from children in NJ who would better benefit from my tax dollars.


I fucking don't want to pay for this.

It's a cheat - and makes an accomplice in stupidity.
