Blasingame, who has served on the board since 2021, did not give a specific explanation for the decision, but said the subjects go beyond what the state requires to teach and creates “a perception that humans are bad”.

It's true. When I think of vaccines and diversity, I think about how bad humans are. You really have to hate humans to want them to live longer and love each other.

...said the subjects go beyond what the state requires to teach and creates “a perception that humans are bad”.

What are the chances this person subscribes to a religious belief that has original sin as a core component?

I'd say close to 100%.

You know what makes a great society? Teaching your kids the bare minimum.

They keep saying that we teach that humans are bad, but the only classes that taught me that were religion class and sex ed.

They should just skip the foreplay and ban knowledge.

They won't enjoy the pain enough if they don't drag it out as slowly as possible.

You can't just walk in and hang the whole town, you have to start with the fringe and work your way up.

marking the next step in Republicans’ war on education.

This line alone is actually making me feel really depressed now.

I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I would absolutely hate being in a part of the world where there is a party that actively works to dismantle people's branch towards being better educated.

No, you must not be too smart or else you're against them. Fucking braindead Texas.

Can you imagine if their practice was nationally adopted? You'd have a lot of people going around saying "I don't know" when asked if they knew directions to somewhere. People having angry debates with another because they were asked about how much salt was applied to a piece of meat. People tearing down signs because they didn't understand them.

I mean, we DO have these people, but not the entire population of them.
