I feel like this should be some kind of illegal. Don’t schools have to follow some kind of curriculum to make sure students aren’t missinformed? Otherwise you get teachers teaching the 2+2=cat, and wherever this stupid shit is
Most religious schools aren’t even properly accredited.
So long as they don’t claim to be more accredited then they actually are it’s not illegal in the land of the illiterate and home of the barely educated.
In this case they are teaching 2+2 = WWJD
There’s something that really boils my blood about teaching people wrong. Knowledge impacts your ability to make informed choices about the material world. Everyone should be given the most clear-cut model of their current understanding of the world, or in a way, you’re taking away their ability to safely make informed choices. There’s something very evil about that to me. It’s like taking someone freedom away.
it’s a form of abuse. The difference in thought patterns between a person raised that way and a person who was given a proper education are palpable sometimes.
Taking their freedom away is a good phrasing, they have had their thoughts shaped against their will.
It is absolutely taking their freedom away. Informed consent is important, but your consent cannot be informed if you have been systemically indoctrinated into bullshit heuristics and myths and haven’t had an opportunity to really develop your critical thinking skills. It’s a profound counter to popular power, though not because they are “brainwashed” as such as some might say (not you, necessarily), but because their mental development gets completely stunted. It can be surprisingly easy to get someone to abandon a lot of this shit if they are placed in a different environment that doesn’t reinforce it, but that doesn’t make up for all the education they didn’t receive that they should have. It’s crippling the population in a way not unlike the chronic lead poisoning does in other cases.

As our comrade alludes to, you’re thinking of accreditation, but I just wanted to add that such a thing usually only applies to educational requirements for degrees,* e.g. that your physics students know the vast majority of X body of content based on being that body being taught and tested. You can have absolute horseshit in elective courses (or even in the fat of mandatory courses, I think), and all of this is a world away from what you can print in your paper or have in presentations on campus, which is pretty much unrelated to accreditation so long as you aren’t breaking the law or something.
I completely agree that it should be illegal, but it’s not.
*On a state-by-state basis, there is also the matter of if your school itself is “licensed” (I believe this is the legal issue Trump “University” tripped over), but I don’t really know how that works tbh
Umm, acktually sweaty, it’s called living in a Free Country?! The gubmint shouldn’t be in the business of telling people what is and isn’t ok to teach in schools! We should let the free market decide! If those kids who think 2+2=cat can’t find a job after school, well, they should’ve thought about that before going to such an awful school then!
Rand Paul what we gonna do? Lock him up with the wuhan flu!
Those guys who just let him live with them for a bit were certainly something else
COVID is a Chinese bioweapon and also you’re being histrionic for thinking we should do something to prevent it
When will chuds shut up about covid 19? It’s boring. Move on to covid 20 already.
