Ben Carson Vows To End Nonexistent 'Ban On Christianity' In Public Schools

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 2/29/2016 3:25 pm

While speaking today with Pat Robertson at Regent University, Ben Carson said that he would work “very hard on eliminating the ban on Christianity in our public schools” if elected president. Carson, who has repeatedly claimed that he would direct the government to monitor the speech of professors and withhold federal funding from schools that demonstrate “bias,” revived the myth that Christianity and religious expression are banned at public schools. (Students are allowed to pray in school, but government-sponsored and compulsory prayers are prohibited.)

1. He should be successful, then.

Problem solved.

[immoderate]

2. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Ben Carson is a wacko.

3. Someone needs to lead him off to the soft room

where he can get his meds and play with his mush.

4. "Not enough banana flavored Twinkies"

5. it's codespeak for "push public schools to force Christianity on students"

really, he's vowing to create a problem that doesn't exist (much, yet). the summary statement
> monitor the speech of professors and withhold federal funding from schools that demonstrate "bias"
looks like a dead giveaway, really. if Carson gets his way, Christian prayers in school will be compulsory if the school board wishes it to be so. also, teaching "controversial" subjects like Evolution, Plate Tectonics, and Climate Change will be subject to "bias" lawsuits.

6. Plate Tectonics is controversial??? Good grief!

9. IKR, what's so controversial about plate tectonics?

I think it's a fascinating subject.

Let's just keep Americans ignorant while the world passes us by.

10. the timeline, mostly

Plate Tectonics are controversial to someone who believes the planet is 6000 years old, and could create an "unsafe space" for certain fundamentalist students if discussed in, say, a geology course.

7. I refuse to allow Bible Study in my class if it takes time away from our Koran indoctrination lesson

I'm trying to force socialism on my students everyday. How can I possibly find time to bring the teachings of Jesus into such important brainwashing?
