    What you have not done is to honor the extremely hypertrophied version of Sola Scriptura in play here. You have not "rightly divided the Word of God." :D

    Do you know anyone that thinks they will Vote for Elons America party?

    Easiest thing in the world. Trump has the deportation follies in full gear, trolling for a firefight. Did you see that show in MacArthur Park? A cavalry troop breaking up a kids summer camp? All it will take is a violent armed confrontation and Trump can declare martial law and it will all...

    TONE DOWN YOUR RHETORIC! Leavitt Urges Democrats to Tone Down Anti-ICE Language After Border Agents Shot At [VIDEO]

    She says they are simply doing their job to enforce the law. That may be true or not but it is Congress which has oversight and the responsibility to discover whether the law is being carried out. The Trump administration has limited that oversight. So, there is rhetoric. Unfortunately, that...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    No, just dealing with them honestly would be enough. Why is that an important problem for students to solve?

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    And without the foundation of the Trivium to build on it would be difficult for them to understand it anyway. Your talking college level now. Actually it's not--what are they learning to read for anyway, if not to acquire knowledge and think critically about it? The Trivium is not...

    I wasn't. My teaching experience with that age group suggests that would be the right time. When it was actually used in schools, elements of it were introduced as early as age 7, fully articulated with their growing literacy and numeracy skills,

    That fairy story of yours about how scienceis are solely responsible for the Thalidomide tragedy is beginning to be nothing but malicious trolling.

    Too late. You can't use the Christian religion to achieve the degree of workforce discipline that you desire any more. Decent pay and working conditions will be required and you can't decide unilaterally what those amount to.

    Their lives are their own and they are free to make their own living any way they can. If you want them to work for you, you have to make it worth their while. What you are talking about is the commodification of labor, which is the equivalent in authoritarian capitalist systems to the...
