GOP decries teaching sharing in kindergarten. Intends real life lessons on survival.

How long till they tire of rambo Jesus makeover and go after sharing at the source?


This is a prediction, not a headline.

1. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we didn't encourage kids to share?
Jesus H. Christ, human nature is greedy enough without fostering it.

2. there was a joke about that in one of the Grand Theft Auto games
a radio PSA about signs your child might be a communist. On of the warning signs was that they like to share. :rofl:

3. The GOP fat cats share all the time
They rely on the Koch Brothers sharing their wealth so they can advance policies that will benefit their friends. They aren't greedy bastards. They are caring individuals who like to share. :sarcasm:

7. The real life lesson is that early humans SURVIVED BY SHARING.
NOT by screwing over one another like in Survivor.

And yes, your prediction will likely come true, unfortunately. Hobbesian dystopic worldviews tend to support doing nothing to end inequality, so such worldviews appeal greatly to conservatives.

8. Put a plate of cookies in the middle of the classroom
Give every kid a 2X2. The one who beats the rest into comas wins the cookies. It's the repuke way.

11. That is very perceptive. They will suffer a generation or more of little killers.
The generation they will count on to suffer through old age, will tell them to pound sand. Just take your exit pill and it will be quick.

10. Yeah damnitt, think about it.
The religious right, you push charter schools. If you can't home school. They think our children are being polluted from Kindergarten. By a progressive, if not outright socialist indoctrination. They further charge that all the professors are intent on finishing them into commies. And ruining their randian utopia.

I have heard wingers talking about they have to get hold of education. That was likely 5 years ago. And they all thought indoctrination of right wingism from the start is a worthy goal.
