Our parents pay exorbitant taxes so we can be public-school kids. We have sports and stuff but mainly school is about important civics lessons.
We even get to go on these expensive field trips in nice buses, burning up expensive energy and making a carbon footprint, but it’s okay because we are special and it’s okay to break the rules when you are saving the country. And besides, it’s “education.” And “making a difference.”

Greece's economy contracted by 25%. Youth unemployment hit 60%. An entire generation was hollowed out.
Argentina has been through the IMF wringer multiple times; in fact in in 2018, Argentina received the largest bailout in IMF history: $57 billion....
Martyn Lloyd-Jones declared, “Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.”
Attention antifa and transtifa and insurrectionists who hate ICE:
Nearly every state has specific statutes that criminalize willfully interrupting or disturbing a religious assembly or worship service. These laws protect the right of people to gather and practice their religion without intentional interference.
Let the Minneapolis arrests begin.
