And with the dismantling of the US Department of education, things are going to get a lot, lot worse.
My brother in America I have felt electricity and I can say exactly what it’s like.
If you still don’t believe though I will gladly share the secret of how to feel it for yourself. You need only bring a fork.
I’m curious what they think a lightning strike is.
This just in, no one has ever seen lightning, and if you say you have, we’ll have to burn you at the stake to protect the children.
what are frogs
A mystery.
Gay.
When they want to feel it, they should take a bath with a plugged in toaster.
No notes.
This is for real? How is it even legal?

We homeschooled our kids for non-religious reasons. Most of the commercially available books, materials and curriculums were Christian oriented. While I am a Christian (although not a conservative) I found some of the materials just flat out intellectually insulting, factually incorrect, extremely biased (without the benefit of scriptural justification) and the above example is far from the worst of what I saw. It says a LOT about where your faith actually lies if you have to promote a false reality to justify it.

But also;
I am a Christian
How do you reconcile these two viewpoints?
“It’s all bollocks, but I still believe it.”
There’s nothing fundamentally christian about the text in the picture above, it’s just nonsense propaganda. The whole science vs religion thing is frankly bollocks too - science shouldn’t be arguing about religion it’s fundamentally incompatible. OP can believe in a god, believe in an afterlife - science has nothing to say on the subject, it’s not testable, it’s not falsifiable it’s got absolutely nothing to do with science.
My brother and sister-in-law homeschooled their kids for a while, which was a bit out of character for them. It turned out they were actually sending them to a private school that was technically “home schooling” because the parents taught the kids at home one day out of the week using school-provided materials and the kids were at the school the other four days. That one day a week allowed the technical “home schooling” designation and also allowed the school to use non-state-certified teachers (with the added bonus of being able to pay them hourly and only for four days of work a week). And all of this was only marginally cheaper than normal private schools. My bro and SIL eventually realized how shitty this was all around and moved into a good school district - which was way cheaper than private schools.
We briefly homeschooled during the pandemic, and like you we’re non-conservative Christians. When our Christian friends asked about our curriculum, they always wrinkled their noses at the fact that it said “secular curriculum” on the cover. We told them, “you don’t understand how weird the home school curriculum business is. Trust me, it’s way easier to take this curriculum and add the values we want to impart than to take all the Christian nationalism out of the religious curriculum.”

The irony is that such fundamentalists rely on so much engineering, built on layers of scientific research, for what they do (like eating. And housing. And recruitment. And printing and distributing that textbook), and… yeah. It’d be like a flat-earther in orbit. It’s beyond ironic: it’s just not a possible situation without the help of outsiders refuting that belief.
I have a lot more respect for the Amish, isolated monks, folks that take their beliefs seriously and consistently in their lifestyle.
Wait so the above is actually real? And there are worse things in existence?
Wtf…
Tide comes in tide goes out. Can’t explain that.
Claude François : am I a joke to you ?
I have heard, felt, tasted and smelt electricity and all that was required was a lack of self-preservation
Mehdi, is that you…?
This is child abuse. Pure and simple.
Lightning comes from Zeus and Thor. Obviously. /s
Thor’s the god of thunder, not lightning.
Obviously /s because Perun is the god of lightning and thunder
