Religious Indoctrination in Our Public Schools

Religious Indoctrination in Our Public Schools

 

It sounds so un-American, but it is happening in every state of the union- religious indoctrination being forced, yes forced, upon our children and grandchildren, in public schools across the country. Not since the landmark Supreme Court decisions in 1962 (Engel v. Vitale) and 1963 (Murray v. Curlett), has religious proselytizing been officially permitted in public schools, when these cases brought an end to school prayer and Bible reading, respectively. Yet, in the last decade, religious indoctrination has been taking place in public schools across the country.

 

The religion being force-fed upon our youth is not Catholicism (which isn’t even “force fed”, per se, in Catholic schools). Nor is it any form of Protestantism, nor any other form of Christianity, nor Judaism, nor even any form of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, nor even agnosticism nor atheism. None of these monotheistic, nor polytheistic, nor antitheistic religions is being taught in our public schools… none.

 

Nevertheless, a growing religious doctrine is not only being taught, but also being proselytized and forcibly being indoctrinated upon our youth today, and any heresy being spoken, or written, or even being otherwise mentioned is responded to with disciplinary action, censure and even failing grades.

 

This is the religion of manmade climate change, formerly known as the religion of man-made global warming, most notably being advanced by former Vice President Al Gore and international so-called scientists who advance their dubious theories in a disingenuous effort to acquire government funding for their continued research, and their insidious and clandestine efforts to destroy western capitalism as we know it.

 

The tenants of this religion, which are being forced-fed-as-fact upon our youth, include dubious data about global warming (not proved), man-made climate change (unsubstantiated) and the proposition that the United States is the principal culprit, when it is clearly obvious that Russia, China, India and other countries are far more polluting than the United States, where regulations concerning atmospheric output are far more stringent than the other countries listed. Once again, the loony liberal left is first to blame America, and American capitalism, than pointing their fabricated fingers at the real culprits, who regularly spew atmospheric pollutants in the globe’s eastern hemisphere. (Funny how it is always the United States which liberals always like to blame, first). In reality, those who advocate extreme measures concerning carbon footprints and related and onerous corporate taxation, based upon these theories, really only seek the imposition of global socialism- they just don’t want you to know it.

 

The fact is that the climate IS changing, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the United States, nor human activity, in any country, for that matter. The worldwide climate has gone through many eons of warming and cooling, for millennia, long before primal man discovered how to warm himself, and cook his food, and harden and sharpen his spears, with fire. Even since man’s arrival, the world has experienced a multitude of ice ages and periods of global warming, just as the ocean tides ebb and flow. To suggest that man can cause any of this, is egotistical at best, and pure fantasy at worst, and yet there are those who say that “climate change deniers” should be silenced, censured and even imprisoned, which shows the real and tangible hypocrisy that only liberals can truly evoke, in their quest to indoctrinate the generation who follows us into adulthood. Unbelievable?…Just try and suggest that these supposed “facts” of man-made climate change are merely theories that have not been empirically proved, to a high school or college student today, and they will reply as though you have just told them that the earth is flat, or that the sun revolves around the earth.

 

Certainly, mankind, being the most intelligent species on earth (some of these loons would even argue that point, by the way), has a custodial responsibility to practice good housekeeping with regards to our planet, but to take this to the extreme of destroying wholesale economies and food supplies in order to pacify the dictates of environmental extremists in government, academia and the world politick is patently suicidal, immoral and without justification, period.

 

Heresy, you say?…so be it…Go ahead and burn me at the stake, if you will, but watch that carbon footprint, if you do….
