Included in the new civics training for Florida public school teachers is the statement that it is a “misconception” that “the Founders desired strict separation of church and state.”
Here are some interesting comments
"How is this different than the Taliban in Iran…. Other than obviously only a white evangelical “Christian” church message is the preferred “teaching” 🙄🤨😏"
This is the ultimate move by these Christian zealots and political hacks who just want their vote. Its making a sham of our long established civic principles.
"Stop the madness!
When is the majority going to shut these far right extremists down? Enough! Anyone who has studied history does not want to go back to times like the Spanish Inquisition "
" Do we think that states like Florida and Texas will suffer some sort of brain drain when all the smart liberals decide to move or locate elsewhere?
Is this something that will affect their tax base/economies?
"Now that the courts are starting to fail us, the last recourse may be that the large corporations could threaten to reduce their investments in red states to help preserve constitutional freedoms. We need a way to effectively fight back."
"I am so glad I don't live in FL. Basically they are bribing cash strapped teachers to sit in a chair for hours and listen to some religious bigot spewing garbage. Shame on DeSantis.
It is not a misconception."
"Our framers didn't want a Christian theocracy for their experiment. If it was the case, they wouldn't have written the first amendment."
"Cool. Start with getting Christian moms back in the house. They need to go back to being positive maternal figures, so their daughters won’t need as many abortions".
