We can expect culture-wars to proliferate; right-wingers are energized, and we’ll see more Trumpkins elected to high office. The GOP will push their ‘parents bill of rights’ false-agenda in every Republican race, alongside their other big lies. This reminds me of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, where parents sued high-school teacher, John Scopes, for possibly teaching the theory of evolution in Tennessee, which violated the Butler Act, making it unlawful to teach human-evolution in any state-funded school. The Fundamentalist-Modernist controversial case was seen as a trial on whether modern science & theistic-evolution could be taught in schools. The trial received much attention, as William Jennings Bryan argued for the prosecution, and Clarence Darrow was lawyer for the defense. Bryan vented that the purpose of the defense’s queries & arguments “were to cast ridicule on everybody who believes in the Bible”, to which Darrow retorted, “We have the purpose of preventing bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the education of the United States”. Upon review, it was determined the Butler Act, violated the provisions of the Tennessee Constitution that prohibited the establishment of a state religion; it was later repealed in 1967.
Parents railing against Critical Race Theory being taught to their children, is a false-flag agenda, as no elementary, middle or high school in America is teaching CRT; it is a law-school construct of systemic-racism inherent within our American caste-system, that is taught at university level. But investigating & discovering truth matters not to many involved in these culture-wars; they just want to emote with their beliefs, biases & fears. So those holding ideas of demonology closer to the breasts than spirituality, have fears they thrust into every avenue of our shared experience. They may be successful in ending Halloween parties in elementary classes, that have happily occurred for decades and contributed to schoolchildren’s best memories of camaraderie with their classmates; they may try to ensure that no ‘diversity trainings’ are taught to our junior & senior high-schoolers, that no upsetting history can be taught that will confuse or hurt snowflake-children’s feelings. They can parry about as they will, but as the noble Clarence Darrow faithfully declared, “There is never a duel with the truth!” The Truth eventually WINS OUT! However, we may endure many bloody-battles for some time yet to come. Staten Island, Nov 3, 2021, newscast showed an angry parent threatening that “townhalls & schools will be burned to the ground”, and the huge crowd of parents surrounding him heartily-cheered!
