WATSON — Rep. Valarie Hodges, R-Watson, says she had no idea that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s overhaul of the state’s educational system might mean taxpayer support of Muslim schools.
“I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools,” the District 64 Representative said Monday.
“I liked the idea of giving parents the option of sending their children to a public school or a Christian school,” Hodges said.
Hodges mistakenly assumed that “religious” meant “Christian.”
So. Very. Pathetic.
How Christian of you.
If you say "religious" in other countries, what does it mean?
*sigh* I know Valarie and I am not surprised by this. This is what the conservative Christian community just doesn't get. Religious freedom is religious freedom for all. Sad day in Louisiana. Sorry guys. we have some winners here.
