Yes. Absolutely. Or any type of home economics, sex education, etc.

They’ve tried that.

……or that the earth is round!

Yes. It will be.

Probably for the best that they do... MAGA children are probably de-evolving.

Is MAGA Christianity Insanity the official Fascist religion of the USA?

Or only enroll your kids in chemistry class because you’re a meth head 😬

And that's called home-schooling, and is why home-schooling is so wildly popular with evangelical Christians.

Parents already can in many (most?) districts. Honestly though, at that you point you may as well just home school your kids.

Opting out of science for religion. Opting out of geography for the Bible.

Can you opt out of the Pledge of Allegiance? Especially the under god part?

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been opting out of the pledge for decades.

Good for them. Why pledge allegiance to a nation whose leaders have no allegiance to you.

definetely

SCOTUS is showing us that the authority we GAVE them is beig abused and rule of Law means nothing to them. by their actions, they have broken their oath of Office, just like imbecile orange and the GOP. TIME TO REMOVE THEM.

We really need to start with basic biology so that we don’t have so many ignorant people who think there are only two sexes or who can define gender vs sex.

Next, in US history lessons, all US presidents before Trump whom he dislikes will be removed from the history books, and all other textbooks will be rewritten to suit his tastes, such as stating that climate change does not exist, and so on and so forth.

With the current state of things, homeschooling seems like a good idea.

What do you mean by the current state of things ?

Instead, they will teach how those vermin are poisoning the Great American White Nation

Most likely. Science will be next on the chopping block.

Yep, that's what's coming next

Do they also declare that they also can opt out of any book teaching that the Supreme Court is fair, balanced, follows the Constitution, and supports democracy?

I had to sit in the library during those and the sex ed classes, no self esteem issues here.

Ok so back to the previous discussion with SCOTUS. They ruled for MD but does this now cover the entire other 49 states and territories? So yes opt out of Ten Commandments in other states?

Im sure this IS the case and/or why some people home school. When I ran for state senate in CT (in 2020) I discussed with some Homeschoolers about certain benchmarks that should be met by that curriculum and how to assess their children. Even the mention of this was met with resistance…

youtu.be/iX_TFkut1PM?...

We need the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. That is the only way to crush religious bigotry and drive it out of all our public institutions. Liberalism has failed.

Flat earthers opting out of geography?

Or civics class because you don’t think voting is needed

Not sure if science classes will continue to exist. Between the huge amount withheld by this regime for public schools & their anti-science everything else? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

They can opt their children from reading Romeo and Juliet because they had unmarried sex. They will opt out of learning about Eleanor Roosevelt, Martha Washington and other First Ladies because they are women. They will opt out of learning about MLK because he has a different skin color. Sad day.

I get your point but Romeo and Juliet didn't have unmarried sex. Act 2 scenes 2 - 6 are all about getting the wedding organised, after their first chaste meeting on the balcony. It's why she can't marry Paris, when her father demands it, and takes the sleeping draught instead.

Jeez. Spoiler alert.

Lol! As if you didn't already know how it ends. The Prologue, at the very start of the play, tells you the whole story anyway.

No, it only states they're dead, it doesn't mention the death fakeout

I didn't mention the death fake out. Only that she took a sleeping draft. Who's spoiling it now?

Remind me, was the forced marriage to Paris also mentioned in the prologue?

Paris asks Capulet for her hand early on in the play: Act 1 scene 2. You know, there are plenty of summaries available online, Necro. The Prologue itself is only 14 lines long. All this is getting rather far from my actual point that Romeo and Juliet did not have unmarried sex as the OP claimed.

We really need a sarcasm font.

I got it. Hence the "lol" prefix.

But Mary, mother of Jesus, was a virgin...did she have unmarried sex with God?

But she was a married virgin.

Married to Joseph and raped by God?

She was “betrothed” (engaged) to Joseph. They weren’t married. She was a single mother.

No comment.

At minimum, god committed aldultery

And seduction of a minor, but that's not an issue for MAGAts

That will be the next idea.

If you replace elementary with high school you might have a point. This debate is getting far more heat than it deserves. You have never been in a family with confused teenagers because of premature and early exposure to this information. Drama, trauma and psychiatrist cost mean nothing to you.

If you want your kids to learn science and get a liberal education, Americans need to start sending them to enlightened places like North Korea.

Exactly.

I think they’ve BEEN doing that…

Scopes Trial was a freak event. The world is 6,000 years old. Blah, Blah, dear god how did these morons end up in power…

wouldn't be even the tiniest bit surprised

wouldn't be even the tiniest bit surprised

Tragically, that's already happened, but instead of taking your kid out of class, they changed the class. worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankin...

Thank you for posting this with the link. Reading the article provided a surprising view of the evolution of teaching science in some states.

This is inaccurate. Colorado schools teach evolution and do not teach creationism-at least in Denver Public Schools.

Only in the USA.

Good thing we don't have nukes or a global military force! Wait... The same religious people who don't believe in sciences is the same religious group that thinks a nuclear war needs to happens so we have the 2nd coming. And they are now in power of the US.

I went to Catholic school (not in the USA) and even there we were taught Evolution, not Creationism. One thing is real, the other… not so much. 😆

...actually, yes that is exactly where they are going to take it.

That already happened.

I went to class with a kid who's parents forced the teachers to let him and his brothers out of classes that taught evolution in the curriculum without penalty :( those kids,, are having a really hard time in the real world because of their parents indoctrinating them

you betcha😇

Have the parents pick up their kids when they opt out of a class. Then bring the kids back for the parent approved classes. You'll see how important it is to them.

Can we opt out of having our kids sit in classrooms that have the Ten Commandments posted?

My heart breaks for my future grandchildren. When we read Project 2025, we actively started downloading .gov medical and health websites. We started archiving credible non fiction books etc... We are so scared for the next generation and the damage the republicans will inflict.

Yes.

That’s definitely next, Uncle George!

Opting out of all science and math classes. Burning history books that show white supremacy, slavery , genocide, exploitation of Chinese laborers to build the railroads. Better answer is to keep your kids at home and homeschool them or send them to a private school.

Quite simply, yes. That’s exactly where this is going.

Yes obviously

Or any class that includes anything they don't agree with- Religion, interracial families, science....

Yep, science bad. University professors are now obligated to avoid information that might offend a student. Ask your doctor if they were offended by facts at university before he prescribes medications for you.

If by next,you mean now...then I believe that would be a yes

How about we let the kids decide what they want to learn?

My daughter teaches 4th grade in one of our larger states. She is not teaching anything about lgbtq. She can't get your annoying child to sit down and read

It seems like we're discussing the importance of science education. I'm with @minghow1.bsky.social on this one - mandatory imprisonment for qualified teachers who don't teach science? That's a bold move! What do you think, @wynnoma1.bsky.social?

Opting out of any classroom that has that 10 commandments horse shit on the wall.

Pretty sure there won't be public schools in a couple years. They want the children for unpaid slave labor.

Yup.

No education at all for the labouring classes is the ultimate aim. Why waste money on education or health they are born to serve & they die in service . Their pitiful lives complete by serving the Republican overlords.

Yes

They never actually cared about any children

Yes

I do believe it has already happened

Yeah. That's it exactly. Then it'll be Geography for teaching that the Earth is a globe, Math for anything the dimwit parents don't understand, and then History for anything to do with Black people.

I’m pretty sure that is already a thing. The irony being that Texas leads the way in that sort of schooling. Genesis is regarded as fact there. In the state whose identity is cattle, horses and oil. Where ranchers will spend millions on bull and horse semen to selectively breed genetically

Improved livestock. Their mastery of genetics is on par with their ability to deny it. And no oil company ever, sent geologists to look for oil in rock formations less than 6000 years old. Seams formed millions of years before earth existed are so much more productive.

There are so many absolutely odious policies throughout time that have been justified by religion. This is going to be mind blowing.

That's fine. Let's opt out of learning about the 45th and 47th President.

I hope people never forget how important Supreme Court justice appointments are when considering your presidential vote.

Forget evolution, if the bio class teaches bio they’re out of there.

George, they tried this back in the 70s and 60s

We can take it to the bank that’s next. They don’t want our kids educated - they want our kids compliant and without a single thought of their own.

Stephen Miller said “we will teach the children” Chilling to think of his “teaching”. He’s 21st century Goebbels.

💙🐈‍⬛🐈💙 No up next will be state indoctrination of youth…A new version of Hitler youth programs….

Wonder if Coca-Cola will sponsor this one as well 🤔

they already have been, for decades. bsky.app/profile/raje...

Time to dust off "Inherit the Wind" for a rewatch.

God forbid they learn about cell mitosis... that leads to the devil... Or so my online megacunt preacher told my brokeass grandma w,ho sent her last $50 to Copeland lying ass Fuck. All of your churches that demand your very last. No god is found there. I bet my fucking soul. DEADASS.

I think Project 2025's aim is to have no biology classes, science classes, or anything else other than evangelical religion classes.

Taliban playbook

So it will be easy to opt out of any Bible classes forced on students, right??

This just popped up on my feed and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you have to see this shit happen again, and have so many stepbacks in fights you've been in too long. Sincerely wishing with all my heart that tomorrow is going to be less shit and just hope you know that what you do and have done matters.

That wasnt the precursor?

You say that like it's not already happening in some schools. As someone whose best friend is a science teacher, I can assure you it is. Or else the concept is being taught without using the actual word evolution. It's a crazy thing

Same in my school in the 90's can't imagine its any better now

AP bio teacher letting kids go to study hall for the days we explicitly talked about evolution and apologizing about it circa 2002.

“Those students whose parents want them to be stupid, may leave now.”

I feel for any kid who's parents are these, because if they were gay or trans, they're going to have a really tough go.

They’ll take their kids out of every class in which they don’t do well, so they can say „my kids are smart“ even if they aren’t.

Those who shield people from the truth must have an evil agenda

Big win for Allah!

You shouldn’t be allowed to opt your kids out of reality.

Don't give them any ideas 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Thats EXACTLY whats next. They need an uninformed, ignorant populace.

Documented proof that humans and dinosaurs lived together.

Immaculate Conception magical thinking…

Funny, conservatives always say they want to go back to the good old days. Whatever happened to keeping your kid home when there was a lesson you didn't agree with? I remember a bunch of kids whose parents didn't want them to see the "growing up" movie in 5th grade.

Get a note from home, miss the lecture about that whole woke conspiracy called "gravity".

Evolution? You mean like Adam and Eve, right? Right…?

How about opting out of the pledge of allegiance and the goddamned 10 commandments on the wall in schools?

Biology. Geology. Sociology. Astronomy. All Science. Everything is fair game. Religious people are offended by all modern concepts and facts.

Sweeping generalizations are wrong on the left as they are on the right

That’s what the said about Trump and his policies. Yet here we are.

Already been happening. I am a biology teacher and have had to deal with this issue my entire career that started in the 80s.

Isn't that already a thing?

Or just opting them out of school altogether. Christian homeschoolers do it all the time.

Definitely. Already happens. 😭

Can I opt my kids out of history classes that teach that the slaves were guest workers?

Probably not, but maybe. However you won’t be able to opt your kids out of singing songs about how Supreme Leader Trump makes the sun rise and makes the plants grow.

It is exactly what parents could do. Each parents opts out of one thing. Just break the system out of the gate. Religious exemptions are silly anyone can make up a religion about anything.

Who's going to school? They're put all the kids in factories

Well, yeah.

Shhhhush! Stop giving them ideas!

If the Christo Fascists get their way they won't have to opt out because we won't be teaching evolution at all. The degradation of our quality of life and the principles we have lived by continues.

Don’t they already do that under home schooling?

They already do that.

Yes! There's no end to this...

Yes. And probably sooner than you think.

Has been happening in our little school in Nebraska for over a decade. An evangelical church encouraged their families to home school to avoid biology classes but wanted them enrolled in some classes part-time so they could compete in sports. I’m still angry.

It's time for LGBTQ students to opt their children out of hetero cis subjects and books then.

This is the next logical step :)

Please dont give them any ideas😱

“LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!” I swear we are dealing with toddlers. These people are so ignorant.

Yep. Anything that does not meekly conform to Christian Nationalist beliefs will be fair game for censorship now.

Yes, and the same parents will opt kids out of English classes that do not teach the bible as great literature. We already have millions of adults who cannot use nouns and verbs properly, and never use adverbs correctly - kids will grow up grunting like cave people, and writing with hieroglyphics

Because history has shown us that keeping information about LGBTQ folks away from kids ensures they'll never be attracted to the same sex. You know - except for the whole tendency for the youth to rebel by choice.

Same way teaching abstinence instead of contraception methods and the threat of STIs definitely stops teenagers having sex. Keep 'em dumb and they'll vote republican, I guess.

Yep. And definitely insulate them as much as possible from other viewpoints. Then you'll at least get some kind of a future voter base who are comfortable hating 'the other'.

This was a thing when I was in school in Texas… not that long ago. Had to get a permission slip signed…

Absolutely that's next. If it's not already happening.

They already do that here in the southeast.

yes....it's coming.....

Of course.

What maggots want.

George: Pkz help amplify: Come on folks. LFG! - Unsubscribe - Boycot their content online (Wordle too) - Don't link to them - Block their reporters on social media - And ask @peterbakernyt.bsky.social, Why's your little paper suck? If we can take down Tesla, we can #BleedTheNYT dry. Plz repost.

What do you have against the NYT ?

No, it will be worse. The kids stay but the teacher is forced to teach Creationism. They aren’t really doing this stuff in the name of “religious freedom”. They are doing this to force Christianity on everyone.

Actually, I don't like subtraction. Math class should teach addition, multiplication and division only.

It'll be opting out of RE classes that teach actual Christian values, like compassion, kindness and love for all. Christian Nationalists vehemently opposing real Christian and American values is very on brand these days. What a time to be alive!

Inherit the Wind becomes relevant again, oddly . . .

They still teach evolution? They'd better get on the stick.

I’ll bet

Under his eye…

Yes, exactly.

Probably😥

It’s outrageous but my bet is always on the kids, they will find away to get their answers . We did 60 years ago

We didn't in Alabama. That's why our Republican legislators are so ignorant about gestation.

Sadly, you had Wallace

Now that's a topic I could talk about at length but won't.

Or a class that shows the earth is round and not flat

Actually yes - this opened the door to all kinds of shit. It’s like they’re as dumb as the orange guy not thinking past today.

It’s because yes, they are as dumb and cruel as the shit pile in the WH.

Yes. Whatever it takes to keep the masses stupid.

I still think if this is the president that they want to set, the how about we use the exact same argument in court to remove something they try and push? Then if nothing else we'll have an official court record of the hypocrisy

'Themed'? What a weird way of referring to a lesson.

That's already regularly attempted 😅

Good money says that if a case was brought before them saying “we’re not religious, we should be able to opt our kids out of any lessons mentioning ‘God’ or ‘Jesus’ in schools”, they wouldn’t even take it up for consideration. These people have lifetime appointments 👀

Yes

Opting kids out of history classes that cover anything other than Trump's times in office.

Yep. And replacing astronomy curriculum with flat earth poster hanging right under 10 commandments.

Yup. Exactly.

I think taking your kids out of a class that has Jews or other non Christians.

Fuck this Supreme Court.

Yes. A precedent has been set.

Apologies for the question, but if someone can't stand mathes, English grammar, or any other Argument in school – are they still allowed to... oh sorry, silly question. But seriously – they HAVE read the entire Bible, right?"

Science class won't be an option in America's schools.

Well the good news is when schools start doing church service under this regime i can opt them out.

George, they've been trying to do *that* for decades. They want a national Butler Act.

Don't think it's off the list of possibilities.

Welp they can't opt out of this bisexual mom being very open about liking girls and boys when their kids play with mine. Haha

Can I opt out of Gym class?

At this rate, the US should opt out of all global politics, owing to there being a lack of education to make proper decisions on a world stage, given decisions within the US are based on idiocy and the sayings of fictional cloud people...

Definitely that next, with the excuse “there’s nothing about evolution in the bible”….. (because obviously rounding up everyone that doesn’t look like you and putting them in camps would be fine with Jesus)

Luckily kids have the internet to teach them everything now. I taught myself Christianity while other kids were forced to learn it in Sunday school just so I wouldn’t be an idiot in society, true story

They will just stop evolution from being taught in schools. Problem solved. #FascistGOP

"my child will not sit through a math class that uses Arabic numbers!"

🤣🤣🤣

Good, opt out. Get your family full of bigots away from the rest of us. Go home and teach them from the Donald Trump grifting academy.

Probably.

Don't give 'em any ideas!

I would like to point out that this has been an ongoing practice in several states where they still teach creationism.... They literally already do that.

Yes. We’ve already been here before. We are just going ignorantly backwards under the guise of religious freedom.

the right to remain ignorant this is the worst supreme court ever

Absolutely that will come.

Some do that already. Sigh.

There are flat-earthers who will opt their kids out of school entirely because the earth is round in every subject.

Surely it also means you can opt your kids out of any religious indoctrination in the school too.

That's exactly what I'll be doing. I'm in rural Texas.

Opting your kid out of classes that teach the greatness of DonaldTrump

Math classes that explain why the budget Republicans just passed will transfer wealth from the working and middle classes to the wealthy elite?

Poof, and then there were humans.

bsky.app/profile/eyky...

Well some of us have not evolved to best we could be. No names need to be mentioned.

I know you jest, but this was already a thing over a decade ago. My wife, who was a Biology teacher at the time, had to tip toe around evolution in lectures or feel the wrath of these numpty parents.

Don't give them ideas

Yes

Yes indeed, exactly that. Count on it.

Europe, once again, last hope of civilization!

Imagine they never learn about the lgbtqia+ community and decades later they see a pride parade and just immediately perish from shock.

Do they really teach that in school? Why would they?

Yes

Yes. Sad but I think you’re right.

YES that is their plan bsky.app/profile/redl...

My kid says he doesn’t believe in algebra and wants me to write a note.
