(my bold)

.19 [538] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, [539] Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

.20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

.21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, [540] go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

.22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

.23 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That [541] a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

.24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Let me guess, they will teach the evils of empathy outright.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Well of course, empathy is socialism

"Stop indoctrinating the children"

Is that what they call what the rich like to do to kids now?

Once they finish their classes they get a free abduction to Little Saint James!

This country hasn't been at risk of going communist in eighty years. The right are such scared fucking babies.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

They want to brand Socialism as Communism so we stay stuck in Tickle Down delusions

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

It's just propaganda. It's not anti communist it's pro capitalism/imperialism and ultimately pro fascism.

Ooohhh will this be like the DARE program and actually end up converting students to support communism??

I know I learned a LOT about recreational drugs from school <3

As soon as I saw the headline, I said, "I hope this is exactly as effective as D.A.R.E."

Had a friend's son tell me, very insistently, that Kim Jong Un convinced everyone in his county that he doesn't poop. Also, that he's planning to nuke South Korea, and we need to do something to stop him.

This was a kid with very liberal parents going to a very liberal middle school.

Red Scare shit is already everywhere. But I guess we've got to keep cranking the hysteria up to 11

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

I heard that one about Kim a few times, alongside some more crazy "What the people actually believe" and it scares me. Do some actually believe such obvious nonsense, or are they all loudly claiming to believe it knowing the consequences for wrongthink? Do they think they're the only ones with a working brain and everyone else is brainwashed, or do they understand they're all in the same boat?

Or maybe is none of it real, I'll be honest I cant even prove North Korea even exists, I've only seen it on maps and on TV, on the same medium that brought me Ghost busters.

Hiring people educated in Florida is a liability.
