We Don't Need No Education - part the fifth

The Evangelical Radical Right Wingnuts' Culture War is revving into high gear. Here's a recent account of the state of battle.

While teachers don't set the texts pupils read as part of the curriculum, Lee said teachers at his school had had complaints about books offered in classroom libraries. "Public schools should have books that represent all students," he said, explaining he offers age-appropriate titles related to Black history, women's history and Asian American history.

'I ain't got but four years of school, and the reddest neck in these here part of the woods, and I'll be Goddamned to let mah 12 kids know mor'n I ever did. Ya don't need no education to walk behind a horse plow or make babies. I do just fine at both. It'd be a damn shame if mah kids got smart and up and went to some big city. And one of the boys married some colored girl? That'd tear mah heart right out.'

And, of course, we've got Gov. DeMented

This bill says the whole experiment with DEI is coming to an end in the state of Florida. We are eliminating the DEI programs.
-- Gov. DeMented

Will the last educated person leaving a Red State please blow up the legislature? Won't hurt anyone; the pols will all be out swigging moonshine from jugs anyway under a cottonwood tree. And whittling KKK crosses for key fobs. Just hillbilly fun times.
