    Since they have morphed from born that way to grooming kids in elementary then the time is long overdue for anti groomer sentiment. Anti groomer is anti gay by definition since queers don’t breed.

    Bottom line is there shouldn't be any type of sexual discussion with kids of that age, period. I would have extended it the entire elementary school aged kids, instead of pre-k-3

    No person other than the parents should be allowed to discuss sex with any school age kid without the permission of the parents until they are 21, PERIOD. The state is not qualified, trusted nor has any business teaching our kids about sex.

    An interesting look at the intersection of nationalism and religion in Russia. Could it be it’s happening here?
    Russia is what happens when nationalism infiltrates Christianity.
    One of the alarming aspects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was the response of the Russian Orthodox Church: They were for it.Two days before he launched a bloody invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin sat alone in front of a camera and delivered a rambling, hour-long address. It outlined the ideological justification for what would ultimately become his “special military action” in Ukraine — an invasion that, as far as Putin was concerned, had more than a little to do with religion.
    Two days later, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, spoke to military leaders andpublished a statement. The cleric congratulated Putin for his “high and responsible service to the people of Russia,” declared the Russian Orthodox Church has “always striven to make a significant contribution to the patriotic education” and lauded military service as “a manifestation of evangelical love for neighbors.”
    There is a deep alliance between Putin’s authoritarian nationalism and the Russian Orthodox Church’s integralist project:
    Kirill, 75, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, sees the war as a bulwark against a West he considers decadent, particularly over the acceptance of homosexuality.
    He and Putin share a vision of the "Russkiy Mir", or "Russian World", linking spiritual unity and territorial expansion aimed at parts of the ex-Soviet Union. The head of the Russian Orthodox faith was quoted as saying on Thursday that his church and its faithful were holding back the antichrist. . . .
    Kirill's comments backed the Kremlin line on the war by implying that Russia's actions there were a response to a foreign aggressor.
    No defense—intellectual, theological, moral—can be made for what the Russian Orthodox Church is doing. They are not accommodating evil or cooperating with evil. They are summoning evil into the world in the name of Christ.
    That Kirill and his co-religionists are not the first Christians to do so is not a a mitigating circumstance.
    Cathy Young wrote about Patriarch Kirill blaming Russia’s need to invade Ukraine on the gays:In a Sunday sermon, Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, offered a startling new explanation that is sure to resonate with the Sohrab Ahmari wing of the modern American right: It was to save Eastern Ukraine from the gays.
    During his fifteen-minute sermon on Forgiveness Sunday the patriarch did not say a word about fellow Christians under fire in Ukraine outside Eastern Donbas. He did, return to the evil of gay parades and to his claim that holding such parades was a requirement for membership in the “club” of powerful countries. The patriarch also asserted that resistance to such demands is “suppressed by force,” which amounts to “forcible imposition of a sin condemned by divine law” Such language is almost indistinguishable from how many white evangelical Protestants and right-wing American Catholics talk about modern society.
    David French, and others have been writing that when Christianity and nationalism collide, nationalism becomes the dominant trait.
    This phenomenon is both toxic to Christianity and dangerous for the world.
    American Christians are not yet at the nationalism where every theological belief is sublimated to national identity. But we’re not all that far from it, either.

    Another of your long winded worthless diatribes. The United States is and has been Godless for quite some time. Religion is behind or connected to nothing anymore.

    Except in your imagination

    Read…or maybe I should say try to understand the truth. While some Americans have been trending away from church there is a solid faction primarily evangelicals who have been trending extreme nationalism similar to what is described in the article about Russian orthodoxy. They have even been equating Trump to god (if you want links there’re many). They have been saying that the church and state should be the same (right wing christian). I guess you can say they’re not christians and you would be right. However they fill evangelical churches.
