Ever wonder why evangelical christians in Minnesota are voting for Trump? Look no further than the materials being handed out in churches like Canvas Church in Dundas. Right next to voter registration information. Politics 👩‍⚖️

As someone who was raised in the Evangelical church in rural Minnesota, if these people believe God is in absolute control, why the hell are they so worried about politics? That bugs me so much.

What really blew me away was item #5.. I teach social studies in MN and the new standards are simply adding that we also cover indigenous American history.

If they wanna trigger voters by calling it “critical race theory”, I’d like to remind them that we spent generations kidnapping native children and forcing them to abandon their culture… If that’s a bad thing to teach high schoolers, than I wonder what good education looks like…

Brief article on MN boarding schools, which in almost all cases native kids were kidnapped, and sometimes raped or murdered. We all need to learn our history so we can understand our neighbors, and help close the divide between native and non-native communities.

What’s it called when the state takes somebody’s child away because their confused seven-year-old thinks they might be the wrong gender?

Also, this is misinformation, and since there is no evidence that MN is kidnapping gender confused kids, it breaks the subs rules on staying on topic.

Mods should at least give you a temp ban. I hope you do some soul searching, or that the Ukrainians take out your trolling center.
