Christian college requires freshman to take Patriotic Education and Fitness class to honor the fla

[turbinetree]

On Monday, the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri announced that it was requiring every freshman to enroll in a “Patriotic Education and Fitness” program, which, according to the Kansas City Star, was created to teach students about modern military customs, American politics, and flag protocol and procedures.

“We should be more intentional about patriotic education, and from our point of view that needs to occur from kindergarten all the way through college,” College of the Ozarks President Jerry Davis told the Springfield News-Leader. “Patriotic education is not inherited. It must be taught, it must be modeled and it must be emphasized.”

Davis added: “It’s the United States of America, not the diversified states of America.”

2. Nothing like a dose of nationalist indoctrination in the morning

to erode human rights, weed out undesirables, and set the stage for war.

3. Maybe they'd be better off giving a Christian Education course about feeding the poor,

healing the sick and all the other Jesus-y things they've skipped over in their Bibles.

5. Another note regarding these Born Again Nazi Institutions

These "Christian" Colleges are promoting wrestling for both genders.
One must ask if this is some metaphor for their next Crusade.

6. What relevance is there as to whether the school receives federal funds?

7. Too bad "Arbeit macht frei was already taken

Because no proper “patriotic education” should exist without a nod towards “work sets you free.”

8. So in other words - 2nd amendment and flags everywhere. Got it.
