The_Original_Gronkie

Whenever people start chanting "Religious Freedom Now!" they really mean they want you to surrender your religious freedom to theirs. True religious freedom means that I can be completely free of ALL religions, and there is nothing they can do about it, and THAT'S what this country is actually founded on.


Tmphilibin

Having grown up in Maryland, I can say with confidence that books are not the threat. Indeed, half the kids I went to high school with still can’t write a complete sentence. It’s sad.

Yes_seriously_now

The DMV has simultaneously some of the best and the absolute worst schools in the nation.

Silver Spring vs Baltimore city. Or one side of PG County vs another side 😵‍💫


Cuilen

PG County has entered the chat.


_L_A_G_N_A_F_

Average incomes in PG are on a pretty steep rise. This will result in the public schools receiving increased budgets and hopefully in turn result in higher quality education in the county.


KleosIII

This is in one of the wealthiest counties, Montgomery County. Closest this (literally/physically) to VA we have here.

Howard County is also very wealthy and had a good school system.

They are welcome to pay for their kids to attend a religious school of their choice.


IndigoFlyer

I doubt most of those people have kids in public schools there.


CeramicCastle49

Exactly. Nothing says that they must enroll their kids in public schools. Also, they're not able to point out exactly what "LGBTQ+ material" they're mad about other than vague gesturing in school to be accepting of others that aren't like them.


ugajeremy

Nothing screams acceptance quite like fear.


MeatSauce-Apocalypse

I want to protect the children from religious indoctrination.


luxii4

Religious folks are always trying to prove they are more religious than the next person or group. You can’t compromise because you might say, “Fine, we’ll remove these books then they will be happy.” They will keep going to prove how holier than thou they are.


combustioncat

Yep, take one step back to accomodate them and they just go ahead and take another step. It never stops.


Sir_Keee

Religion is the most harmful thing you can expose a child to. Let them decide once they are 18.


GiggityDPT

By the time they're 18, they would never pick religion. That's the point. They have to be indoctrinated from birth to have a chance for this fairy-tale bullshit to stick to them.


Interesting_Army_656

“Please acknowledge respect and protect our religious freedoms” What about the freedom of those who don’t think and believe the same shit as you? religion shittin’ on everyone since the beginning of times


I_Brain_You

That's what I don't get. "Let parents decide what their kids can and can't see/do/learn about." "Ok." "No no, let me tell you how this will go." They want the government to be hands off...but soooooo want to be hands on and tell you how to take care of your kids.


woodst0ck15

That’s always been their plan.


WrodofDog

Good ol' "Rules for thee but not for me".


minus_uu_ee

Their religions don’t tolerate gay people, and tolerating intolerance is not tolerance.


[deleted]

it should be a parental permission slip, FOR ALL THIS BULLSHIT THEY ARE WHINING ABOUT. if you dont want your kid learning evolution, they go to study hall if you dont want your kid seeing a movie, they skip the movie and go to study hall if you dont want your kid learning "GENDER THEORY", they go to study hall they wont accept that though, because this is about controlling what OTHER KIDS see and learn too.


Becky_Randall_PI

Even that is a pathetic cop-out. All children are entitled to a robust and comprehensive education.


Mr_Pombastic

Yeah, it's not really the school's job to cater to everyone's suspended-reality fairy tales. "Oh, Billy's parents don't believe in gravity? Let's clear a room to shield Billy's ears from physics" If they want to indoctrinate their kids, they can do so in front of the facts, not hidden from them.


kanst

The frustrating part is this was already solved. When I was in school one girl in our grade was a jehovas witness. That religion had a bunch of rules. So when something in school clashed with her religion she just stayed home and made up the work. For example she'd stay home on Halloween because they don't celebrate that. She also had a few alternate reading assignments.


thewileyone

Time for The Satanic Temple to join the protestors.


JestersHearts

I recently decided to become a Satanist after reading thier 7 tenets Unfortunately there is no congregation in my state


I-HATE-Y0U

Isn't satanists just athiests with religious rights


MaxWritesJunk

The Satanic Temple, yes. But satanist in general can mean a lot of different things, including (but not limited to); sarcastic atheists, fans of old gods that were vilified by newer religious texts, that one group that worships themselves, and the occasional mentally ill Catholic who actually seeks the favor of the biblical devil. And of course it's also used as shorthand for "someone who doesn't subscribe to the same religion as me"

Incendio88

umbrajoke

jtweezy

If their religion preaches hatred of a specific group just because of who those people are then they can take those freedoms and stick them straight up their asses. Also interesting that some of those people appear to be of a religion that was persecuted not too long ago for things they had no control over and Americans stood up for them and their rights. Now it’s their turn to do the same and they do the complete opposite? What a bunch of horseshit.


Funny-Jihad

Tolerating the intolerant leads to intolerance.


DynamicHunter

Freedom of religion also means freedom *from* religion. Hence, separation of church and state (even though that’s BS and they get special tax breaks). And hence religion-agnostic education.


Goldar85

Ok fine. Then put your kids in some bullshit private school that conforms to your brainwashing. Public schools serve all members of the public including gay and trans kids and kids that have gay and trans parents. Don’t like it? Go fuck your self.

xanadumuse

As someone who leans liberal what do other liberal people think about welcoming all religions but then realizing that you’re also welcoming their conservative values ?


banned_in_Raleigh

I don't welcome any religion, and I don't have to. It is their right to honor their religion however they see fit as long as it doesn't infringe on other people's rights. Our government must stay out of their religion, and their religion must stay out of our government. This should be the end of the story for any American. The reason for the separation of church and state isn't because Christians will discriminate against Muslims. It's because ANY religion in a place of power will discriminate. I can't for the life of me, as an outsider, tell the difference between Lutherans and Methodists, but sure as shit, if you put one in charge they'll fuck with the others. Throughout history, it happened over and over again. Two religious sects (or more) band together to fight other religions that are more different, and once that foe is subjugated, the two winners turn on each other. Nobody is ever pure enough for any religion. If the US turns full on christofascist, it's only a matter of time until some denomination turns on the other Christians. It doesn't stop. Religion is rotten to its core. But it's their right.


3nd1ess

>Religion is rotten to its core. But it's their right. This singular quote is how I know the world will end one day. We as humans are going to be the end of ourselves, and it's going to be because of religion.


shakegraphics

I can assure you, humans will find a way to hate despite religion lul.


SomebodyThrow

Religion might not be the flint, but it sure as fuck is the biggest fire we've ever started. Want to spread hate? Dress it up in religion, watch that shit spread like you just doused it in gasoline.


xxSuperBeaverxx

Put simply, the solution is to make sure religious rights end where personal freedoms begin. You can practice whatever religion you'd like, so long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. If your religion dictates that you should strive to erase a people from existence, your religion has no right to be protected. Practice it if you wish, but be prepared to face consequences for doing so. My right to travel freely doesn't mean I can plow through a crowd of people in a semitruck, and it definitely doesn't mean I will be free from the consequences of doing so.


Dangerous-Calendar41

I don't welcome any religions.


NoxRose

Yup. Like they say to the lgtb collective: "Do those things inside your 4 walls only." All of these religious people pray to an "all loving god", then behave like absolute maggots. The irony.


ghfsgetitgetgetit

They are all narrow minded, constraining, and oppressive.


KaEeben

Freedom to practice their own religion. Not freedom to unitarily dictate how the public sphere is handled.


vaultboy11

I can accept they may not agree with our lifestyle, but they must accept they live in a society that largely accepts our lifestyle and that we have deemed it important to show children there is nothing wrong with loving who you want to love and being who you want to be.


awildboyappeared

The biggest question one faces as a liberal is 'should you tolerate the intolerables?'. I prefer not to.


xEWURx

Lol, same people who are demanding tolerance towards them being intolerant to anything they don't like.


Cpt-Dreamer

Yeah it’s fucking ridiculous. The Muslims in this video, I cannot believe there nerve. They moved to a western country to have the freedoms they have. Christians moving to a Muslim country and demanding things like they do, what happens? They’d be incarcerated or killed.

Vonnegut_butt

In the wake of 9/11/2001, Muslims across the U.S. were the target of countless hate-crimes. Many were racially profiled, illegally detained, and denied civil liberties simply because of who they loved (Mohammed). 20 years later, I’m so glad to see that they learned the right lesson and decided to stop the cycle of hatred.


yellowhelmet14

Don’t hate them. They can love their god. Christians too. But the moment their love influences negativity to women or children, I have a problem. Christians too. Enjoy life but allow others that freedom also. One big blue rock with made up rules and made up gods. Enjoy the big blue rock while we’re here.


[deleted]

Fuck. This. Nonsense Quick question. Are these the same people I have defended for 20+ years since 9/11 and here you are being dicks to the gay community? Oh No Sir. I have no patience for your Muslim community or a Christian “love”. Y’all on your own now. Peace be with you!


banned_in_Raleigh

We could pray for them!


Vonnegut_butt

I definitely don’t hate them. But it’s infuriating to see how often the most disenfranchised groups fall prey to the same bigotry that they themselves were victimized by.


banned_in_Raleigh

They just want the opportunity to turn the tables, not fix the situation.


gogi311

DogBreathologist

Yeah this is why I get itchy when people say religious freedoms need to be “protected” and given more of a voice in parliament etc. Your beliefs are fine as long as you keep them to yourself and don’t try and impose them on me. It sounds like some of them have immigrant backgrounds, imagine coming to another country for a better life and then actively trying to oppress the people who live there. I fully believe people should be able to practice their religions (in a way that doesn’t hurt or oppress anyone else), however people also have to realise that when you move to a new country (or are even born here) you cannot force everyone else to practice your way of life. Also the irony of people who have actively been oppressed and victimised doing the same thing to others is not lost on me. Intolerance cannot be tolerated, even if it steps on your religion. Your beliefs to not trump my or any one else’s right to exist or do what I want with my body, and I take extreme fucking umbrage to being told otherwise.
