Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars (Wapo)

Instead of destroying public schools, maybe the people who feel this way can just send their kids to their choice of private schools.

(Preferably without sticking out their hands for a share of my taxes, which go to support the common good.)

Narcissism? Those taxes are our taxes.

"Common good"? The curriculums that include LBTQ+++, DEI or other alphabet liberal notions are no longer common nor are they good.

Why should my taxes support the promotion of these evil ideas to our children.

Everyone has a right to send their children to the school of their choice. Most cannot afford to pay both taxes to support the liberal public schools and private tuition. Get government out of the indoctrination of kids. Public schools long ago stop educating them.

Where does one find a private school with a tuition less than $3,000 a year?

I see that you must have lots of free time on your hands.

You asked, "Where does one find?" Google is your new "Yellow Pages". Welcome to the digital age.

Have you ever read the Satanic Bible by Anton Levey? It is all about immediate self gratification. That goes far beyond sexuality.

My point was in regards to post #2. That our children are being seduced into the "self gratification" of what the Satanic Bible calls Satanic sex. This particular "self gratification" leads to myriads of harmful side effects such as diseases, adultery, unwed mothers, abandoned children, child molestation etc. And here we are as a society sexualizing children at a young age. It is truly Anti Christ and Satanic. And as anyone can see, the country is becoming irreconcilably divided as a result.
As to reading his Satanic Bible, I read a bit and could see that you are absolutely right in saying it's about self gratification which would be obvious as a declared antichrist. To be antichrist is to be, by definition, self centered. If you're not God centered, then you're self centered.

Well, our entire culture is aberrated in this . It is practically impossible to shield a child from sexualization, even in cartoons. And to compound the problem, many children do not have responsible adult parents to guide them through. But then what do we expect from the schools? This is where I thinks a return to humanities and ethics and values is helpful. Even something like Aesop's fables can help guide and Groom virtues.

Do you want chaplains from The Satanic Temple in schools? Because this is how you get chaplains from the Satanic Temple in schools.

Oh Americans stop being dramatic. You guys already have propaganda pushers in schools now. Why not add more of them. The free market of ideas.

When conservative lawmakers in Florida and Texas won the fight to allow religious chaplains in public schools, they swung open the door to ministers from other faiths — including the Satanic Temple.

It would prefer no chaplains in schools, it says, but would settle for equal representation, intentionally goading conservatives, some of whom are explicit about wanting Christianity, rather than just religion, in public education.

The laws in Florida and Texas require school boards to vote on whether to appoint chaplains in their districts. Similar bills have been proposed in 13 other states this year. The proposals, which vary slightly, would have chaplains of various denominations serve in similar capacities as school counselors, in some cases with on-campus offices or salaries paid for by the districts.

In 2016, the Temple began running After School Satan Clubs, seeking to start them in schools that already had Christian-based groups on campus. A federal court sided with the Temple in a legal challenge last year, and there are currently seven clubs nationwide, where children make arts and crafts, learn about animals and do science experiments.

[Some Americans are showing their appreciation for religious freedom in unusual ways.]

One man was charged in January with a hate crime for vandalizing the temple’s altar at the Iowa State Capitol. Another was arrested and accused of throwing a pipe bomb at the group’s headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, leaving a note that urged the group to “REPENT” and “TURN FROM SIN.” And a third was arrested this month and accused of plotting to blow up the headquarters.
