Lmao. Did you just make up stuff to argue against?
Did I make up what I based it on? Is having a different perspective to yours, "make up stuff to argue against"? You may want to see it that way, Unknown. But to do so, you'd have to completely disregard where we may agree.

Nothing is "supposed" to be any how if you, or rather, we, don't make things how we want them to be, unless we expect some God to come down and magically make it so for us.

The kids of this generation are supposed to be smarter, but that does not reflect in their academic activities, especially in Nigeria.

Good read. The above is a flaw in reasoning.

Why are the kids of this generation supposed to be smarter when the quality of the education they have been given has noticeably deteriorated over the years with reduced funding, inexperienced corpers as their main teachers and church/mosque as the schools? Was some God supposed to suppose it for us, perhaps, while we sit on our asses praying for smarter to fall into our heads from heaven?

Can you see how pervasive our magical thinking is?

It's our education system, one we've been in charge of for a long while now, so it's rather lazy to blame the colonisers for exploiting us when we've been in charge of exploiting ourselves for so long.

Their goal was exploitation hence the so called education was to ensure the pliability of their victims and it’s apparent to those that can see through the facade.

A major goal of this education was to force the indigenous population to accept English culture and whatever the Church of England considered Christianity. Therefore, teaching would have consisted of little more than instruction in Christianity along with basic reading and writing. Magic and basic reading and writing so that the wealth can flow to England.
I laugh whenever I see the above written in English.which is as a result of the education your parents bought for you instead of in your native language. I bet you'd buy the same English education for your children too.

Christianity was like the rider on the horse called English language it rode in on, which bought lots of foreign ideology along with it including cars and iPhones, and if you really see it as exploitation, which it partly was no doubt, write it in non-english so I know you are not pliable

As for magic, we had JuJu before church came, and it was easy for our foreparents to believe what they could hardly read. We don't have their excuse to read a book and ignorantly believe it if we properly educate ourselves so that, "all these religious stories would be told in Cultural Studies classes".

Heck, your interpretation of Adam and Eve can even be taught to motivate the girl child.
Can be, or, is? Is it also not taught to motivate not believing, but to acquire knowledge so you may know and live at least a little bit longer than ignorant people are likely to?

One might claim this is evidence of Russia conspiring to undermine Biden whom they knew would not be favourable to them. But of course you'd need more than that, like kraken Guiliani being involved, and the desire to make up conspiracies.

Church of England was formed for two reasons. The first was Henry's desire to divorce his Catholic wife which the Catholic Church forbade. The second was to free himself from under the thumb of the pope. A third reason would be a young beautiful interesting girl and his diq. There's always an Eve, after all.

Church of England insists on the eating of the fruits of trees of the knowledge of good and evil, for they have eaten and found that you shall not surely die, but instead learn to "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth", and through all that work, be blessed by God. That is why they pretty much were the foundation of UK's education system, along with other protestant churches, and lots of our own early schools, to feed their students fruits of knowledge of good and evil.

We blame others for our misunderstanding of what we read. The Church of England does not, in my opinion, believe the Bible, though you'd find lots of congregants who do, but the churches are pretty empty these days, as they found better ways than church to teach each other, which Nigeria hasn't yet discovered and wouldn't until we understand what, Let there be Light, means for us.

I agree with you but that doesn't mean there aren't corrupters that try to deceive parents and children. There are manipulative predators who's goal in life is to deceive children and turn them against their parents.
That's why I want my child empowered by myself and by responsible educators who teach my child to identify and secure themselves against "manipulative predators who's goal in life is to deceive children and turn them against their parents", and to respect everyone (and thing) regardless of their gender, which is a large part of this education some want proscribed.

I should abort myself I am a deceived parent.

Yes, parents need to tell their kids to tell them if freak teachers start teaching them this. This bill bans the opposite of what you're talking about. The education about sex in the USA is not "Watch out for pedohiles" it is "Hey you can be a transgender just like me!" and "If your parents don't accept your fetishes that's okay smiley just talk to the school counselor"
Are you seriously suggesting children over there are that dumb, or parents so dysfunctional? If so, this is more a symptom of other more serious ailments!

I just can not imagine teachers doing that in UK. I mean, the councillor alone will get lots of referrals from the same source and alarms will quickly bell. Besides, it wouldn't take long for a student to reveal the source themselves.

Better relations with one's kids is what I would suggest. And perhaps encouraging one's kids to be doctors, lawyers, accountants, president, and occupy them with enough so they don't have the time nor desire to be thinking about their gender or sex.

Because if you don't spend 100% of your time with the child you don't have 100% control. The teachers intentionally drive a wedge between parent and child. The child can go to the school and say "I think I'm gay" and the school will not notify the parents but will instead send him to a pro-gay counselor who will convince the kid he's gay. At this point you're just being disingenuous. If school curriculum doesn't matter because parents can just undo any and all brainwashing then how do you explain the cultural revolution in China where kids reported their own parents to the authorities and got them executed? Sewing distrust between kids and parents is the best way for evil to take root. They want these kids to think their parents are old-fashioned bigots who just "don't understand" how being gay works.
I tell people here, it's my body my womb, and they think I want to abort it. Zdalmano, my child will come to me if my child thinks it is gay because that is what I trained my child to do and not to go to some stranger it hardly knows to tell it what it is. Zdalmano, for Christ sakes, my child will come and ask me if it is gay before deciding what it is!

I carried its foetus to term so I am the God of my child with full authority and responsibility and total control until it stops sucking at my breast so I better ensure I build a relation with my child so a wedge wouldn't fit in between us, is what I think.

Nobody denies most overt abuse happens in the home. But this bill has nothing to do with that. This bill is to combat the subtle grooming millions of American children undergo everyday at their schools. Not only are the new generation of teachers teaching kids about homosexuality and transgenderism and sexual fetishes but they bring in guest sex "educators" whose job it is to brainwash these kids (example: Al Vernacchio). Vernacchio goes from school to school teaching kids about pornography and gay sex and the parents have no idea.

What kind of argument is it that if we stop schools from grooming kids parents will start abusing their kids more? This bill is to combat the brainwashing/mass-grooming happening in schools. It's a separate issue from familial abuse.
A stupid kind of argument, I'd think, so why are you making it to argue it against yourself?

Do know that I am not in America, so perhaps don't fully comprehend the scale over there. Where I am, paedophiles can't get away for long teaching in the school system, and it's mostly because the pupils themselves were empowered through education about sex, and gender, and the involvement of parents..

Hopefully, this bill will force more parents to be involved in the education about sex that their children receive instead of just cancelling lots of it as some want to.

Most kids don't have a choice. There is a single public school in their district that allows for almost 0 parent input. Not everybody in the USA can afford a private school.
Private school is home with me parent teaching, what is there to afford?

It's my child, Zdalmano. The more I invest the more we will reap, even if my own share us just peace of mind that I gave it a good start.

The whole point is that parents have almost 0 control in the school system.
My child, Zdalmano. My money too.

School is 8 till 3, tops, 7 hours a day, 30 kids in a class, one teacher. Work it out. Tell me how much time "educator" has to fill the child I nurtured in my own womb with their crap, considering said child spends more time with me it's parent.

I have 100% control, Zdalmano. That's perhaps why I don't see this your way.

contradicting yourself. its because parents want to pay better attention to their child's education which is why this bill is being passed. you are against it. shame. stop contradicting yourself
Ben, did you not check the credentials of the "educator" you buy education for your child from?

Is that how irresponsible you are that you haven't even bothered training your child to come and report to you if anyone educated your child with that?

At least, check reviews, is what I think.

Can you not see how such teachers might use this bill to ensure your child is fed that dribble or is she not slimy enough?

Besides, don't you think you'd be an irresponsible parent if you needed this bill to tell you to get better teachers for your children?

I hope you're joking. The bill prevents perverted sex "educators" from corrupting youths in school. In America they can teach about all sorts of depraved sex acts without parental consent. This bill is trying to stop pedos from infiltrating schools.
I've given an alternative perspective, one where educators are responsible and the threat is in the parental house.

Most of the perpetrators of child abuse (neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse) were family members. For example, 80.8% of (instance-based count, rather than person-based) perpetrators were parents, 5.9 percent were relatives other than parents, and 4.4 percent were unmarried partners of parents. In addition, the perpetrators included sibling, victim’s boyfriend or girlfriend, babysitter, other caretakers, and strangers. There is no indication that the pattern of offenders of sexual abuse, which accounted for 9.1% of the cases, differed from the general one. The data is also consistent with the practitioners’ observation about sex abuse perpetrators. As reported in American Psychological Association website, the majority of sexual offenders are family members or are otherwise known to the child.

Ron DeSantis signs the parental right in Education Bill

"The bill prohibits classroom instruction about sexuality or things like 'transgender' in K through three classrooms," DeSantis said, standing behind a podium that read "Protect Children, Support Parents."

Paedophiles have this thing where they convince those they abuse not to inform the adults. Now they can show Desanti's bill to those they abuse to convince them not to tell.
