“All the religious school is saying is ‘Don’t exclude us on account of our religion,’” Justice Brett Kavanaugh said. “If you go and apply to be a charter school and you’re an environmental studies school, or you’re a science-based school, or you’re a Chinese immersion school, or you’re a English grammar-focused school, you can get in. And then you come in and you say, ‘Oh, we’re a religious school.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, no, can’t do that, that’s too much.’ That’s scary.” He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”

This sounds like DEI to me.

Because 'religious school' is called church, you fuck

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

This is absurd! Religion is absolute fiction. Those other schools are grounded in facts, logic, and reason. Fuck all religions and their brain rot bullshit.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

lets us remind that kavanaugh was in alot of debt before being confirmed by scotus, which was paid off by his family.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

Second class, that's funny.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I went to a religious private school, I learned basically nothing more than to hate people with slightly more melanin in their skin, to hate people who practice my religion slightly different than me, and to blindly obey the Capitalists and never fight back against genocide. Well that was a waste of an education because I ended up being an antifascist anyway :3

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

I went to a public school and got 2/3rds of what you did, so I'm not really sure the issue is public vs private and more an issue of education in general in the U.S.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They want to groom the children to be subservient sheep.

You weren't told to be not seen or heard while being beat as a kid?

As soon as an Islamic character school is opened, the US Supreme Court will suddenly have a different stance.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Or The Satanic Temple.

Can’t wait to the Seven Tenets posted in every school.

I don’t know if I see one of those having the support or interest to open one, especially in red states where it would anger the politicians. I’m hoping for the Satanic Temple, personally.

[–] ugtug@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

How about a pastafarian charter school?

[–] ProfHillbilly@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I have teaching credentials. I would love to work for them.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

Lol, you really think that law will allow that?

Only good Christian schools will be allowed, lest the satanists open up their baphomet school (which would be awesome, btw)

[–] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Why does the supreme court think that "religious" = christian only? That would also pave the way for Islamic schools as well

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 14 points 18 hours ago

Satanic schools here we coooome

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Racism. The Venn diagram of Christian fundamentalist beliefs and Sharia law are basically a circle, but the talking heads are only upset by the brown people

Just call them what they are--private schools that are too shit to charge full price for their "services."

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 hours ago

Private schools shouldn't exist either.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago

Perhaps an ideal time to reintroduce community run/funded Ferrer Schools to combat it.

Am I the only one looking forward to the coming witch trials?

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta get ready to bring some guns to save some witches 🤘

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca -5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You didn't use guns to save the country, but you're gonna use it to save women? Lmao sure America

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

So, real quick, you're telling me that you think it's equally feasible to take on the secret service as it is to take on smaller groups? I just want to make sure.

Also, I said witches in regards to the witch trials - innocent people who were tortured and killed based on lies. If you dig a little deeper, you'd see that's happening right now with people like Kilmar Garcia. You can make it a woman thing in your head on face value of the word witch, but nobody has interchanged the term "witch hunt" for "warlock hunt" in the past pretty much fucking forever.

I honestly don't have the patience for your goddamn smug ass shitposting.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I'm more excited for the Nuremberg 2.0 trials.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

The town common is still open in Salem, and now there’s a bar nearby with great cocktails and keno

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

let they already have. we have a "secular religious school" where we live it is considered private, but not the fundy types that dont teach sht. they prepare thier students(alot of them dint seem like they pratice christianity) better for college than the public schools around, which is babysitting them, which is doing them a disservice because they also pass them via participation grades(Ds are considered passable, and some times Fs), i dont know if they recieve govt funding though. and htis is a super blue area.

And now for the Satanism's whatever it is they do...Billy, what was it that you guys do at 3:45?

Billy: we fondle each other Ms. Terramy! And then we insult at least one person.

No no, we're cool. I'm totally for freedom of Satanism in everyday lives. I'm a non believer. I think all religions as practically bullshit equally. Thus all religions should stay off the government.
