"think of the children" is only about keeping them free from sin, not actually educating them because well educated children are likely to become atheist adults

"think of the children" is only about keeping them free from sin, not actually educating them because well educated children are likely to become atheist adults.
Getting money out of politics and the church out of education are the two most effective things we can do to advance our civilization.
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoHow is any of that relevant to a pandemic and isolation?
- 13415 6y agoThe way I understand it, GP's thesis was that "think of the children" has always been mostly just a slogan for Christian moralists to prevent "sin" and hasn't involved really thinking about what's best for the children, so there is no contradiction now with this slogan and not caring about the children much during the pandemic, as the OP suggested.
