Can you imagine being offended by a school trying to teach your child how to be kind and empathetic? What kind of world am I living in?

This just blows my mind on a daily basis and I find myself also asking what kind of world we live in. My own teenage son was raised to be kind, compassionate, and empathetic, I couldn't imagine why a parent wouldn't want that for their own child.

Bc they see it as indoctrination. To subvert with "liberal biases". "I don't want my kid to have empathy towards some queer kid!". It's fucking sad man.

But teaching kindness, compassion, empathy, honesty, etc is biblical lol It's the actual teaching of Christ. It's a shame I know that and yet I am not Christian, but then again I have actually read the bible unlike them.

That is their plan. I started years ago as referring to these people as anti-christian as they sure as hell don't follow Christ.

Oh I’d be flattered if the empathy concern was for Gays like me. It’s not. They don’t want their kids feeling sorry for non-white Americans who were beaten and denied equal access by their grand parents and how they voted.

What religion do they observe that doesn’t teach compassion? I guess we can tell who the bullies are based on this lawsuit.

The end goal is to destroy public education. Make no mistake. This is driven by greed, first and foremost. The people leading it are useful idiots at best. Toxic and vicious idiots with a lot of money propping them up. Remember Betsy DeVos? This is her wet dream.
