REBECCA FRIEDRICHS (GUEST): We should look to the past. So, let's just take the free lunch program that we have in our schools. It started out being pushed by the unions and their friends for poor children. Well, 28 years ago, I had two students in my class on free lunch. Today almost every single child is on free breakfast and free lunch. So what the unions are trying to do, they've pushing something called community schools. And in these community schools, we're giving children free health care, we're are giving them free food, free emotional support, and by the way free political indoctrination for their parents. And so, if these unions and their friends, their politicians, get their way, they would like our schools to be open 24/7. They want to replace the family and families raising their children with our own virtues, they want to replace that with the state. With union-controlled government-run schools. That's dangerous. That's communism when you think about it.

    I was raised evangelical. A big reason I deconverted was I started taking the idea of “faith without works is dead” very seriously. Except, within the evangelical framework there isn’t really a way to do “good works”, even though it’s right there in the Bible. Evangelical churches and groups don’t offer any programs to genuinely help the poor and needy. You can try and organize things yourself but no one’s gonna help you. And if you dare start talking about “social justice” enough your fellow Christians will get real suspicious that you might be one of those “liberals” and start shutting you out. The whole system is designed to discourage you from doing actual good things so I couldn’t figure out how I was supposed to do “good works”. Could not be happier to be out.

      You start looking to hammer things out and get your beliefs in order only to find out that everyone around you treats everything that could be good or beautiful about your religion with scorn
