Fania Oz-Salzberger notes the disastrous consequences for Israel of a 1953 law which made provision for "the near-complete autonomy of ultra-Orthodox schools with no core curriculum, no secular subjects, no history and geography and languages, no sciences, hardly any math, and a heavily policed gender separation.

I am often baffled by a mainstream media establishment that has learned the phrase "every accusation is a confession" by rote, but continues to report on TrumpWorld Republican efforts to transform US public education into a fascist indoctrination factory as if it were a parental rights, or religious liberty issue. These folks are openly and blatantly turning the odious and reactionary belief cluster around Trump's cult of personality into enforced reality, and while they probably can't convince *you* that up is down and fascism is freedom, they're determined to make sure that's the only reality your kids ever know.
I wrote about a recent example of this indoctrination project in action on NIDC, while examining the recent news that noted fundie fascist ideologue Ryan Walters has passed education standards that attempt to force teachers in Oklahoma to present Trump's 2020 election conspiracies (aka The Big Lie) as factual analysis.

Nina-Bytes: Poisoning the Well
"Folks who aren’t familiar with politics in Oklahoma or unhinged fascist cultists who worship Trump may not be familiar with state school superintendent Ryan Walters, but calling him an “ideologue” really doesn’t cover how entirely committed he is to Christian Nationalist ideology and the Trump regime’s enforced unreality. This is the guy behind Oklahoma’s wasteful and corrupt attempted purchase of Trump-branded Bibles, as well as a Project 2025-style plan to restore “religious education” to Oklahoma public schools. He’s also a big proponent of new innovations in trying to make state taxpayers support religious charter schools that will presumably teach Christian Nationalist doctrine. As the article notes, in addition to teaching the Big Lie as fact in Oklahoma schools, Walters also wants to teach kids that Covid came from a lab in China and “remove education about Black Lives Matter and George Floyd’s murder,” just in case you were worried he might not be racist enough. In other words, it’s safe to say that indoctrinating kids with horrifying reactionary ideas that support an objectively fascist agenda is Ryan’s jam."

#Ohio offers a new way to use public money for #ChristianSchools. Opponents say it’s unconstitutional
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
Updated 12:09 AM EST, November 17, 2024COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — "Around the country, advocates for Christian education have been finding legal ways to tap #taxpayer money used more typically for #PublicSchools. One new approach in Ohio is benefiting schools tied to a burgeoning #conservative political group and facing objections from defenders of the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.
"In President-elect Donald #Trump, backers of school choice have gained an ally in their efforts to share taxpayer money with families to pay for things like private school tuition. Trump has cast school choice as a way to counter what he calls leftist indoctrination in public classrooms and is expected to seek a boost for the movement at the federal level.
"The Ohio case shows how governments can push the envelope to funnel money to private schools.
"The state has put a small part of its budget surplus toward competitive grants for expanding and renovating #ReligiousSchools. Most of the winning construction projects are associated with the #CenterForChristianVirtue, an Ohio-based advocacy group that’s seen its revenues balloon amid the state’s push to expand religious educational options.

The #Oklahoma SC blocked on Tues what would have been the nation’s first #religious charter #school, delivering a setback to a #conservative movement that has increasingly fought for #public dollars to go toward religious #education.
The case is likely to be appealed, potentially pushing it toward #SCOTUS, whose conservative majority has broadly embraced the role of #religion in public life & signaled an openness to directing #taxpayer money to #ReligiousSchools.

#DreamCity #Christian Academy promises to “Protect our campus from the infiltration of *unethical* agendas by rejecting all ‘#woke’ & *untruthful* ideologies being pushed on students.”
This politically charged approach to #education likely isn’t for everyone—& because it’s a private #school, it doesn’t have to be. EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: Dream City Christian Academy is one of a growing number of #ReligiousSchools that are supported by #PublicFunds.
