(20,587 posts)education cults all prove year after year that they will continue to die to remain uninformed and irresponsible.
They've already chosen the "afterlife" over any happiness in this life. They don't believe life offers them a drop of happiness.
Their only emotional/psychological respite from their continuous, ingrained pain and loss (most likely sustained from a combination of poor genetic input and abhorrant parenting) is the self-righteous delirium of their cult congregations. Cults require the "other" for a target for their suffering, and the left will always provide it.
Fundies are a lost cause. As long as the government allows "home-schooling" they'll be raised cut off from any hope of joining the world.
We simply have to out-vote them.
I honestly believe that if you're not sending your children to public school, or a publicly accretided private school, you should not be allowed to vote. Nor should anyone who has not attended a real school of some kind. Since our society offers them everywhere, it should be a requirement of voting.
In my mind, schooling, taxes, all forms of licensing, banking, social security, and all health facility access should all be tied together into one identification program. Also, if you refuse any education for your kids, you should lose your access to your kids. Children should have some regular connection to the larger world.
