Windsor goes on to tell Alito: “People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that — to return our country to a place of godliness.”
“I agree with you. I agree with you,” replies Alito
Disturbing on the face. But then you think, what exactly do they think is ungodly? Business regulation? Gay right to exist and marry? BLM? It's gay and trans rights isn't it? Let that sink it, they think human fucking rights are ungodly.
The GOP will be coming for Brown v Board of Education next, and you can bet your ass Clarence Thomas and the other right wing justices will be all for it.
No, actually. The current GOP stance on compulsory schooling is, "no". They really don't believe every child should be educated.
I'm not even talking about kids with special needs or "just minorities". They really don't believe in compulsory education. It's considered government overreach.
The ideal GOP educational system is 100% private and only those who can afford it get to go. They couldn't care less about literacy rates.
They want the Bible taught in schools but they don't want kids to actually read it. That would reveal what's in it (liberal stuff everywhere!), after all.
It's one of those things that depends on the situation. As it stands, they want "no compulsory education", but it's because they don't like what the students will learn. However, if they could be assured that the compulsory education would be consistent with their views, then they would be all about compulsory education. No need to fear the Bible, there's plenty of "help" interpreting it available to people reading it...
Same on abortion rights. Currently the rhetoric is "well, it should be up to the states, not the federal government" but if they can ban it nationally, suddenly they would not be in favor of states like New York or California deciding for themselves.
Indirectly, this is why red states have the cheapest real estate values, but no one wants to move there. Economic value is literally centered around blue states, which have the highest literacy rates
