The Christianist Infiltration of America's Public Schools

THIS IS A MUST VIEW VIDEO.



WE HAVE SEVERAL CULTURE WARS IN AMERICA. THIS IS ONE MAJOR ISSUE.

This is absolutely frightening. As you listen to these speakers, you will start to relate to events at your local schools, laws being passed by conservative legislators and governors, school boards, and what your children are saying about these groups.

As one stated, I think in New York, the court issued a ruling that schools can be used by religious organizations as houses of worship, without paying rent or taxes. I feel that tax payers have been subsidizing religious institutions far too long.

They pay no income tax, sales tax, property tax, franchise tax, or any other tax. They use public services paid for by tax payers, such as taking land and buildings out of the tax rolls, consuming public water, using public sewer service, law enforcement services, the courts, both civil and criminal, public roadways for their members to reach their facilities much more.

Religions should support themselves and pay taxes as well, there is no reason that they don't. Especially if they continue to invade the political and public policy arenas.

This movement to Christianize the political process and governance of this nation is very alarming. What we are seeing is the plan that Jerry Farwell's Moral Majority group that merged with Pat Robertson's 700 Club to form the Christian Coalition that hired Ralph Reed to run. They, together with the Koch brothers, the John Birch Society, that is renamed the Tea Party, and using ALEC to educate, train and plant these Christinists in all levels of governance, starting at the lowest committee, to school boards, city councils, county commissions, state legislators, governors, and then federal offices. In the nearly 30 years they have been working this program, they are now in a position to capture significant control.

We can see this in the several states that elected Tea Party candidates in 2010, like Scott Walker in Wisconsin, who are destroying public education, eliminate labor unions of public employees, and in some cases even private enterprise labor unions, voter restrictions, restrictions on peaceful demonstrations, and in Michigan's case, appointing an emergency manger of a town or school district that can eliminate the power of the elected officials, so being an absolute ruler or emperor.

Has this take over gone so far as to prohibit a peaceful revolt to return the country back to a sectarian, open and free representative democracy?
