Feeling the Bern

In Islamic Malaysia, my private school is bringing in Focus on the Family

to scare the impressionable students about the evils of sex.

After three months here, I can tell you that there are too many fundies here (Muslim fundies, Christian fundies, even Hindu fundies), all of them thinking God talks to them on a two way radio.

I might not survive much longer here. While it is beautiful, the people are are too religious for me. Everyday, there is a a school wide prayer at a school that, when I interviewed, was told was not a religious school.

They are literally forcing me to stomach propaganda from James Dobson. Someone please give me a barf bag.

As soon as my writing money and my salaried position starts at the film production company, I'm in Hong Kong and far away from ingrained theocracy.
