There is more to the story than she lets on. The administration says all protocols for her termination were followed; that means she is lying about not expecting/knowing why, other than claiming her bs.

I agree fully but it seems they are convinced that American was founded as a Christian Nation. All they have to do is go hear the preacher repeat that crap weekly and they believe it.

Growth brings more money into their Church, power, and safety. That is the prevailing view of many societies, as well, so they feel vindicated by the power which also doesn't tax them. Going after the children, indoctrinating them before "education" can bring about foreign ideas, is the best way to achieve growth.

Because they can and they feel it does not matter, god is on their side.

These bible-thumpers need to be stopped whenever they overstep.
Which, unfortunately, is far too often.

Believe whatever the hell religious bullshit you please, but keep it to yourself.

They do it to indoctrinate the children they would otherwise not have access to.

From their perspective, it is the great commission to preach the gospel to every nation.
I am in no way condoning or justifying it and I am in total agreement with the OP.
