Right move!
it also potentially deligtimizes the degrees in the University,
<<<< has a degree from uark 🫠
Nice! Which commandment did you study!?
A dozen or so!
These days getting a degree in a red state basically guarantees a devalued degree.
Unless the US gets their extremist christofascists under control, they'll never be able to become a normal civilized nation, it'll always gravitate towards a theologic dictatorship.
-
Tax all churches of any religion. Heavily.
-
Ban prayers everywhere but at some and church
-
Ban any groups that wants to introduce religion based curriculums at achools and label them as the domestic terrorist organizations that they are
-
Jail the leadership
I don't see many other choices here. It's either that, or just continue with the same bullshit we've seen for the past 7 decades
The christofascists are actually ENCOURAGED here for a reason, they are very easy to control and manipulate (as any television show on The Christian Network will reveal immediately).
They are also used against each other (various religions and sects), that's why they are all tax-free! "We" want it to flourish. They are perfectly divisive.
Oh hells no
If anything, these guys cooperate. Leave it up to the religious to tell eachother to all vote the same way. Religious groups is why we are here in the first place.
Tax churches, now! For all I care, prohibit religions even
You're not wrong from a citizen's perspective, but you are wrong from a powermonger politico's perspective.
I agree, they should at LEAST pay taxes, but that doesn't look likely with our current government.
Prohibiting religions never, ever works, and instead feeds them. They adore martyrdom as a concept, and love sending others to die and "go to Heaven" for their cause.
I'm all for all of that, but even before any of that, every single church that has tax exempt status should be heavily investigated, and that status pulled with the slightest sign of impropriety, which will be at least 50% of them.
There's a street near my local Walmart, and nearly every house on it is a "church," 23 in all. It's a tax avoidance scam, and it has to end.
This same UofA
"The University of Arkansas’ reversal of its offer to hire Emily Suski as its next law school dean has sparked concerns that the decision chills faculty’s free speech.
The university said it was withdrawing the offer after key Republicans raised concerns about Suski’s background and legal positions on transgender athletes."
It's a good blog. They also have a podcast. I stopped reading the blog when I started listening to the podcast cause they cover the same material. Recommended.
I always have one question when I see this. Which version of The ten commandments?
We all know the answer but the fact that there's several versions...
Love it. The fascists/religious nuts need to learn some respect for others ideas and stop trying to bully everyone.
