Texas Supreme Court: Christian Kids Don’t Need An Education If They’re Going To Be Raptured

32. Not the Kochs' problem. What do THEY have to do with it?

Actually, for most of America religion has nothing to do with the big threat. Intense dislike by some extremely wealthy ultraconservatives/neoliberals/libertarians/Bircher-type fascists for "big government" regulations and paying taxes to educate other people's children has everything to do with it. They've made a whole philosophy out of it -- personal freedom for them and for the parents.

This ruling is hopefully a major wake-up call for what's really happening in the background. If the right gets control of the Supreme Court, they intend to make compulsory education unconstitutional. That will be followed by campaigns to eliminate local, state, and federal taxes and funding for public schools. Religion and extremist conspiracy theorists are just very useful tools to help it along.

Question: Just who have been packing America's courts at all levels with as many Texas Supreme Court-type conservatives as possible for decades?

Charles Koch: "The only legitimate functions of government are protection of person and property."
