A political axiom that we use on the show is that where there’s a double standard there’s a hidden agenda. If you care about the Bill of Rights, the minute you don’t care about one particular right, you don’t care about any of them. Such is the case with California Christian schools.
Pharmacists should not be ordered to violate their faith
In California, there is a senate bill that would deny funding to any college or university affiliated with a religious institution. Funding would be denied if the religious institution adheres to any biblical teachings on sex and marriage. This would mean that colleges would severe their ties to high schools that teach religious fundamentals.
Who is this aimed at? Muslims? Or is this aimed at Christian schools?
This is bigotry but it is also an act of intellectual warfare. It goes back to brute force. What is the state trying to protect us from? And how soon until this makes it to Washington state where we have out own Christian schools?
But what is the hidden agenda?
Christian biblical teaching is under attack in California. And nationally now, unmarried taxpayers get double the mortgage interest deduction of a married taxpayer. What are they seeking more of? More unmarried homeowners! Why? It’s the same ideology as trying to get rid of biblical teachings in high schools.
We need to look at what the government is promoting versus what it is trying to kill.
