Understood.

What was good about it? To me, it was just another hit piece on Christianity. Most everything they mentioned really had very little to do with schooling. And the social skills portion is so just blown out of proportion.....Harvard has disproven this myth.

Re: Religion in America
It really sounds like the Christian parents in the story don't see it Harvard's way. The article was not just about home schooling, but conservative Christian secret sauce on top of the home schooling -- reads like child abuse. The parents conclusion was the public schools were less about indoctrination than their Christian home schooling.youthathletics wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 6:37 pmWhat was good about it?

Re: Religion in America
Pat Robertson, conservative evangelist and Christian Coalition founder, dies at 93
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pa ... -rcna61662
Pat Robertson, the conservative evangelist and media mogul who galvanized the modern Christian right, cultivated a massive national following and regularly drew criticism for his incendiary political statements, died Thursday, according to his official broadcasting network. He was 93.
The Christian Broadcasting Network, the organization he founded, did not immediately announce Robertson's cause of death. "Pat Robertson dedicated his life to preaching the Gospel, helping those in need, and educating the next generation," the company said. He was one of the most prominent and influential Christian broadcasters and entrepreneurs in the United States — equal parts religious leader and culture warrior.
In a way, Robertson was also a business visionary. He converted a small Virginia television station into a religious broadcasting powerhouse, marrying fiery ideology with 20th-century entertainment technology. He inspired other conservative Christians to take to the airwaves, too. He created the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), home to the talk show “The 700 Club,” and founded the Christian Coalition, a group that helped mobilize American evangelicals into a conservative political bloc and one of the cornerstones of the modern Republican Party.
Robertson reached the pinnacle of his national celebrity in the 1980s, when social conservatism was ascendant. He ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, a contest ultimately won by George H.W. Bush. But he would remain a kingmaker in the GOP for decades to come, marshaling conservative Christians behind George W. Bush and Donald Trump.
The evildoer was the very epitome of the Antichrist.
