Dunno. We’re just now ironing out what all needs to get defunded so we don’t ‘subsidize beliefs’ we don’t hold. Probably everything will have to be stripped of funding. We’ll keep working on it though.
I would also include churches immunity to property taxes
How about we remove religion as a protected class? Why should someone who holds an irrational belief get special treatment over someone who is rational?
Let’s remove protected class.
You’ll have to be more specific. Abortion and contraception I get, but I’m missing the LGBT and fornication ones.
I assume that to mean we no longer teach sex Ed in schools?
Churches or religious organizations? How about St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital?
You think you mean that, but you don’t.
Why do I have to be specific? Aren’t we simply agreeing to defund institutions that teach or practice contrary to our beliefs?
No, I do. So long as nobody is seen as a protected class.
I don’t believe St Jude’s is immune to property taxes, but I could be wrong. I was under the impression that was a church specific thing.
How can anyone be expected to know which entities re being defunded if you can’t be specific with what violates your beliefs?
First, we agree though, right? Defundd that which has practices or teachings are contrary to our beliefs?
I have no idea. I can’t even tell what you mean by it. Hence asking for specifics.
I don’t buy a car when the dealer can’t even tell me what color it is.
Neither of us wants to subsidize institutions that teach or practice contrary to our own beliefs, correct? Do we agree that we cease to do so?
Ahhh, there it is. Because you can hide your beliefs but not your race.
I think that’s called the snowflake entitlement.
Race is a feeling.
But what?
Do humans have two eyes? What is one of their functions?
Hide my beliefs? No. I want to practice and live by my beliefs I feel they are absolutely critical to my identity.
When you interview for a job, no one will ask if you believe in God (unless it’s Alabama), but they can see what they believe to be your race (even if you don’t identify with it). They can see what they believe to be your sex (whether or not you identify with it, or are transgender). They can see what they believe to be your ethnicity even though you may not be that ethnicity.
Still no. I don’t buy cars without being allowed to see them.
If you have a specific policy you’d like to bring up, I’m happy to converse further.
