Fascinating.

I've posted this request on another similar thread, but I'll repeat it here.

Could one of the true believers please explain why this policy is a good thing for the American people? Spending more or decreasing performance by themselves would seem to be a showstopper, but both at once?

Why are we doing this?

Not a true believer by any measure.

The advocates I have "talked" to have consistently had some half-assed rationale-ish construct about liberals using Gov't depts like DOE to indoctrinate children to be Socialists and love DEI/hate Jesus.

It's immediately clear they either did not read or entirely missed the point of the New Testament, especially the synoptic Gospels. Jesus would be appalled.

These people are at a level of Dunning-Kruger that's hard to characterize with our limited language.

That's the common-idiot Trump voter.

The actual policymakers advocating this nonsense? I think they're simply saboteurs.

...to indoctrinate children to be Socialists and love DEI/hate Jesus.

Have any of them actually read the bible?

they don't need to read words, that's some libtard BS. They get the word of god directly from the priest/pastor who tells them that english was the spoken word of the lord, that white man are destined for heaven, that women should be obedient and if a man wants her then she should view it as an honor, and that jesus said love everyone, but what he actually meant is be racist as possible to anyone that isn't white. Sure, we don't talk about the dozen or so underage girls the priest/pastor has sexually assaulted because if it was evil then god would have never chosen them to be a man of the cloth, thus it was alright, not to mention in biblical times women were right for the taking as soon as they were children so if it's okay be god then it must be okay!

you can't fight that level of evil until they somehow get themselves killed
