And just when I thought my state couldn’t get much worse, we’re wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.
I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.
topics deemed to be “political ideology” in schools
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance! Don’t you dare play the anthem! Don’t you dare promote capitalism!
We gonna have to Stonewall all over again nationwide, aren’t we?
I’m not gay myself, but the math is simple: is it human?..then it has human rights.
Well that’s the thing, the haters don’t think queers and non-white people are human.
And that is why we STOP DEFENDING THEIR FREE SPEECH
Why do the hard stuff like work to materially improve the lives of everyone in your state when you can do the easy thing like whatever the fuck this is?
anyone got a link? I have… quite the meme library…
I submitted this.
Man, that form doesn’t verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.
No captcha, no contact info verification not even an old school forum “What’s your favorite color” lmao
Does it sanitize user inputs? Or is a 90s style SQL injection possible?
Bobby Table, do it!
I’m looking at some of the “legitimate” complaints on that page. Someone complained about inappropriate content… in Orwell’s 1984.

Flood it with Chat GPT-3 content, super easy to generate, and it would probably create more unique content that would be harder to filter out.
After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.
Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.
Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.
The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.
To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.
Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.
Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.
this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.

They want objectionable Shel Silverstein? Because that can be arranged.
(I don’t want them banning Shel Silverstein or anyone else, I just think it’s funny that they want to ban the only non-dirty stuff he ever did.)
No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.
To be clear, this is a cristofascist Republican politician doing this.
That’s the crazy thing, there’s too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people’s flaws and sins.
It is neither permissible to spy on the Muslims nor to reveal their faults because Allah says (what means): {And do not spy.} [Quran 49:12]. I’m not well versed in Christianity but shouldn’t snitching be a sin in itself?
Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it’s not the job of people to act on it.
But if Christians didn’t get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn’t feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it’s work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don’t think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn’t Jesus… It’s Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.
Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What’s more without Paul there is no Bible either.
27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren’t really about him.
You don’t know what Jesus really said, you can’t even confirm the man existed.
Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building… There are as many Jesus’ as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.
Hey, do you have any suggestions on where i can read more on your first two paragraphs please?
Bart Erhman. He wrote a series of popular books on the NT and pretty much is the guy everyone is going to recommend to get started with. He also has a podcast.
In terms of the book attributions Wikipedia has a list I am sure.
In terms of what happened to James community I am not sure the best place to get started would be. Maybe start by learning about the purposed authors of the Gospel of John.
In terms of my assertions that Mark was recasting Jesus as Paul well you are just going to have to look around. Start by finding a basic textual criticism class on Mark. If you would like to know why I said that I can give you a breakdown of my arguments but a real historian could do a better job.
In terms of me saying that they all copied from each other again Bart. Me and him disagree about John but he he agrees with the rest. You also might want to read up on the Synoptic problem and Q, M, and L sources.
Let me know.
Thank you for recommending Bart Erhman. Hes delightful and very informative to watch/listen to.
That’s called FREEDOM and A SMART USE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!
