The hits from the Supreme Court just keep on coming,
that whole like separation of church and state thing.
That was quaint for a bit.
They tolerated it sort of never liked it and
now they're continuing to blast big holes in it.
It's not about chipping away at it anymore.
They're doing far more than that.
So, and this is even before the Roev Wade thing,
we're gonna get to that in a month or so.
The US Supreme Court just yesterday ruled that main must include religious schools
in a state tuition program that sends tax dollars to aid private schools.
The cases, Carson versus Macon concerns a program that requires districts without
public secondary schools to either educate children by partnering with neighboring
public schools.
Or pay for tuition at a private school of the parents choosing.
Until Tuesday's parents could not opt to send their children to religious
institutions.
For sort of guess the reason for that, was so that your taxpayer dollars
weren't directly subsidizing a religion that you might not agree with.
I think that might be the reason.
Well, no, now that is not only what can happen.
That has been allowed, all over the country, they're going to be racing to
make sure that happens, as much money as possible goes into funding those schools.
Anything to help defund actual secular public education.
That's what they're gonna do.
Now, hypothetically, if it can go to religious schools,
it can go to any sort of religious schools.
It could be secondary Hindu schools or Muslim schools or what I'm not gonna waste
your time by pretending that is the thing that's going to happen.
Because that is not going to happen they would never allow.
This isn't about religious freedom, this is about placing Christianity
atop literally everything else, maybe neck and neck with the idea of whiteness.
But those two things basically Jr what they're excited about,
that's what they're fighting for.
>> Again, it's one of those things that gets pushed all the time when they talk
about school funding.
And just get rid of the Department of Education and how about school?
So, it's like all these are different angles towards them.
Sucking more of the actual potential power out of our school system that we
already neglected to outstanding degrees already.
So, again, but then it's based in specific kind of religious schools.
I would love to see this start to get used in other religions in their schools and
really see what they have to say.
Because obviously,
it's a bit of an interchangeable word when it comes to conservatives in the country.
When they talk about religious freedom, but they mean,
Christianity dominating religion is what they're trying to say.
When it regularly,
because Christianity in this country has always been fought against.
It's always been on the back burner.
No one ever talks about it.
There's no power structure around it.
They don't skirt any tax laws and
all those things really happen with Christianity in this country.
But in reality it does, but as long as they keep this narrative going that
they're this oppressive depressed group.
And we need to redirect more money so we can have more Christian belief systems.
And what happens in some of these Christian schools,
they teach anti LGBTQ belief systems.
Also sending people off for some kinda reform therapy.
Because they're not real humans that they don't have the same thought processes or
attraction to people that they deem necessary.
This is what it's going to help fund.
It's another roundabout way to push the same belief system that the majority
americans just don't believe it.
>> Yeah, no 100 percent and no, and
you said that sometimes that's what is in this case.
So in this particular case, the plaintiffs sought taxpayer dollars to send their
children to Christian schools that integrate religion of their classrooms.
And what do you know maintain policies against gay and
transgender students and staff.
Two schools describe themselves as seeking to instill a biblical worldview in
students.
Well, their own particular dogmatic idea of what that world view should be.
That doesn't actually comport with anything in the bible, but
they find it convenient to say that it does.
They refused to hire gay teachers or admit gay and transgender students.
Bangor Christian schools teaches that a husband is the leader of the household.
And includes a class in which students learn to refute the teachings of
the Islamic religion with the truth of God's word.
So, it is not only going to a school that has Christianity, it is blocking
whose salary can be paid with that, you can't be gay or transgender.
Also, it is aggressive against other religions.
That is what if you live in in Maine, you're going to be subsidizing and
God only knows what other states are going to be doing soon.
That's what they're going to be doing.
It's absolute madness obviously, that's what they're like, Amy Coney Barrett,
they didn't choose her.
Like for her rigorous secular understanding of the constitution and
laws, that's not what they chose these people for.
They chose them for this, are we becoming a fascist state?
Yes, is white supremacy at the core of it?
Yes, but Christian nationalism, Christian supremacy is a big part of it too.
>> It's crazy that one line,
refute the teachings of the Islamic religion with the truth of God's word,
flip that and act like an Islamic school was teaching the opposite.
Refute the teachings of Christianity with the truth of Islam and Allah's word.
>> Yeah, do you think they'd be okay with that,
does anybody think that they'd be okay with that.
If I set up, what I'm gonna do.
I'm setting up as realistic as I can of Hogwarts got one money, I got Hogwarts,
I'm setting up, I want your money, I want your taxpayer dollars.
I have a story that will inform my lessons to.
Can you do that?
No, no, this entire thing is absolute madness.
It's absolutely, look, if you want to have your religion, have your goddamn religion,
it's not supposed to be publicly funded.
They're like, there has barely been a separation of church and state.
It's mostly been a thing of norms and as we know, norms are worth nothing.
But now it is like it is directly funding and they don't pay taxes.
So it's not even a two way road of money is literally just their parasite on
the state.
That's what it is.
And maybe the rest of the reason that this happened allows those lines to be blurred
without us knowing what's really happening.
My last maybe.
Yeah, maybe people won't pay as much attention to this.
Well, anyway, if you're watching on our linear platforms on the podcast,
thank you so much for watching.
But if you're on twitter, youtube members happened a bunch of other stuff.
We've got a lot more programming for you.
So don't go anywhere when we come back,
we're talking about this absolute madness of a juneteenth sign after this
