It's a school activity, why isn't the school paying for the materials
Cause funding
In America they make you pay for your child's own religious indoctrination
I would prefer it that way. Government funded religious indoctrination makes me nervous.
Yeah, about that...
Cause funding the military is 50% of our taxes 🤸🤼♀️🤹♂️
The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.
Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.
Mars colonizing is not really a useful idea, it's technically somewhat possible but there isn't a lot to gain from it.
Instead, keeping the earth habitable would be much more useful.
The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.
I dunno, I see a lot of value in living on a planet with no conservatives
Unfortunately, Elon is spearheading the attempt, and we all know which way he swings…
Yeah, reason #2937 exactly why I support a nationalized NASA rather than the outsourcing of space travel to corporations and capitalism.
Space should be ours, all of ours, not just theirs.
Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.
I chose NASA because it's the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.
Because this is America. I had to buy a history textbook in high school. Good thing we have enough money for a genocide though /s
And why is a school doing a nativity.
I'm Christian and have taken part in dozens of nativity, but none at school.
Many (but not all) private schools in the US are religious. From elementary school through college I attended Catholic affiliated schools. This sort of display would not be allowed at most public schools, and the ones that would allow it would be sued.
Yeah, this isn’t unusual for a religious school.
I remember, as a little girl, playing the part of the angel Gabriel… except I thought the character was named Gabrielle. The only reason I tried for the part was because I thought it was the only explicitly female role, besides Mary (and my unpopular ass wasn’t about to complete for the role of Prima Donna.)
It was a huge let down to find out that Gabriel was yet another male character in the perpetual sausage-fest that is The Holy Bible. Combined with how practically nothing was written about how Jesus would’ve been as a child, I never understood how I was supposed to relate to anything in that book.
It's most likely a private school.
"Private school" is what Basic Training should be called.
