HB 544 “Divisive Concepts” bill prohibits teaching of racism, sexism, materials that claim “an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, wh. consciously/unconsciously”
@persagen Keep the sectarian extremist rebels away from education!
Unnecessary to add, that President Ulysses Grant didn't want revanchist southern rebels to dictate & pervert the contents of library shelves or curricula of students.
"Resolve that neither the state nor nation, or both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical tenets. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and the state forever separate."
— President & U.S. Army General Ulysses S. Grant —
@kkarhan@persagen Quite some time before Grant referred to him, Founding Father Thomas Jefferson called for a "wall of separation between church and State".
Those trying to tear down that wall today are guaranteed to not be supporters of the United States Constitution & the liberties & freedoms it's envisioning for all Americans.
@kkarhan There was a serious proposal at the end of the Civil War to treat the Confederate states as having committed constitutional suicide, turn them all into federal territories, and rule them by martial law until the traitors "got their minds right."
