Dave Brat knows where REAL racism is to be found...

That mean ol' Supreme Court told the schools to quit shoving Bibles in kids' faces in public schools.

Rep. Dave Brat: The Real 'Institutional Racism' Is Taking The Bible Out Of Public Schools

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 9/23/2016 2:52 pm

Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., had an unusual take yesterday on recent protests around the police shootings of African-American men in North Carolina and Oklahoma, saying that while Black Lives Matter is made up of “radical groups” and “confused people,” the real “institutional racism” is policies that removed government-sponsored religious teaching from public schools.

Brat knows damn well he's dead wrong.

This is willing stupidity, to pander to the holier-than-thou crowd.

By the way, I've worked with some "Bible thumpers" in the past who would be so disturbed by the African American woman cussing in her video of the police shooting, they'd probably overlook everything else!

So much of what they care about strikes me as very SUPERFICIAL! Flag lapels, the pledge of allegiance, attending church without remembering Bible verses, etc.

Which naturally makes it the perfect moral compass for everyone.

Keeping children ignorant and confused is the cornerstone that organized religion is built on, and the fruits of that effort are well demonstrated by idiots like this one.
