Worshiping False Gods

Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new ethnic studies curriculum that seeks to root out “white supremacy,” “colonization,” and the various evils of American culture. The curriculum aims to reverse Christianity’s alleged “theocide” against Native American gods by leading students in a chant to various indigenous deities, including the Aztec god of human sacrifice. This horrific chant arguably violates the First Amendment, but it also exposes the true ugliness of “woke” supremacy.
The Discovery Institute’s Christopher Rufo exposed the new curriculum in City Journal and published the full documents on his blog.
R. Tolteka Cuauhtin, the original co-chair of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, developed much of the curriculum’s material on early American history. The curriculum cites Cuauhtin’s book Rethinking Ethnic Studies, in which he argues that the United States was founded on “Eurocentric, white supremacist (racist, anti-Black, anti-Indigenous), capitalist (classist), patriarchal (sexist and misogynistic), heteropatriarchal (homophobic), and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe.”
The ethnic studies curriculum claims that whites began “grabbing the land,” “hatching hierarchies,” and “developing for Europe/whiteness,” which created “excess wealth” that “became the basis for the capitalist economy.” This white “hegemony” continues to the present, and it allegedly subjects minorities to “socialization, domestication, and ‘zombification.’”
The curriculum singles out Christianity for particular demonization. Cuauhtin claimed that white Christians committed “theocide” by killing indigenous gods while replacing tribal cults with Christianity. White settlers established a regime of “colonially, dehumanization, and genocide,” characterized by the “explicit erasure and replacement of holistic Indegeneity and humanity.”
Cuauhtin, whomever this is, is an idiot. That sounds like a second grader wrote it.
As for worshiping the false god of human sacrifice, eh, no change. America has been doing that ever since the days of Margaret Sanger via abortion.
Romans 1:18-21 comes to mind. And the only true God scoffs at them.

Joe Stalin: “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”
AND
“Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don’t let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?”
We home educated our five children and they are rather well adjusted, morally upright, critical thinkers, severe government skeptics and successful.
ANY parent that puts their progeny in a government indoctrination camp is committing child neglect and abuse.
American churches have missed a golden opportunity to keep their parishioners’ children and grandchildren out of clutches of these vampires by forming church schools for those too timid or reluctant to home educate.
But then again, plenty of American churches fly a national or state flag so we know where their sympathies lie.

Notice the implication that all of the native people lived wonderful, utopian and peaceful lives in total harmony with nature until the evil white man arrived.
Well there were plenty of atrocities committed by white people against American Indians. However it should be remembered that American Indians were stone aged savages, sorry if that offends anyone, and committed numerous atrocities themselves against settlers as well as other Indians.
America was won by conquest as were most of the Planet’s lands. Americans were relatively benevolent to the vanquished as compared to most other victors in such conflicts. Today people should be attempting to better themselves instead of harboring envy and blaming others for their own failures, which I think is 90% of what is going on here.

Ritual sacrifice on a pyre of flame contributes to global warming, so, I’m affraid it’s a “no” for me. However, if someone just happens to fall into a volcano, I suppose this would be O.K. Check with you local jurisdiction for applicable rules and regulations. I know that LA County can be pretty strict about carbon emissions, but, there may be exceptions for purely educational purposes.
