Actor and far-right Evangelical Christian activist Kirk Cameron is the latest figure to attack teachers in a bizarre rant delivered on right-wing propaganda network One America News.
In his remarks, Cameron implied teachers and other public school staffers are evil liberals in league with some kind of malevolent spiritual force, bent on indoctrinating children to the usual Republican bogeymen, "socialism" and "communism."
Cameron also claimed these so-called "nefarious forces" are actually "killing God."
That was only the beginning of the list of things that made very little sense in Cameron's rant, which you can watch below.
\u201cHome-school advocate, actor Kirk Cameron, says public schools are staffed with \u201cnefarious forces\u201d who want to indoctrinate kids by \u201ckilling God,\u201d and replacing him with \u201cprogressive, socialist, communist ideas.\u201d\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
Cameron began his rant by claiming liberals always use children as the targets for their "woke" evil.
"The target is always children and that's why God gave children to parents and not to governments and woke institutions that are staffed and manned by those who want to undermine the faith and values that made America great, that advanced the good."
So it follows, according to Cameron, liberals in league with the dark side always choose children as their battle ground.
"We shouldn't be surprised that nefarious forces are targeting children because the goal is ultimately the collapse of the family and the killing of God in America."
"What that does is that it destabilizes our moral and societal structures so they can then be replaced and reorganized with something different like progressive, socialist, communist ideas...and that has always been the plan."
"Whose plan?" you may be asking.
Cameron did not elucidate, nor did he explain how liberals are able to defeat God Himself when He is, you know... God.
Cameron's comments did not go over well with anyone online who is remotely in touch with reality.
\u201c@RonFilipkowski Using God as a cover for their far-right extremist agenda is the oldest trick in their political playbook.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@LeeJay___ @RonFilipkowski Doesn't he/his sister already?\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski Poor scrap couldn't find another job..\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski His parents were school teachers and he went to school on set of TV shows. What does he even know about being in public school? Way to make your own parents profession shameful. Sit this one out Kirk.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski \u201cprogressive, socialist, communist ideas.\u201d - Like the ones that Jesus had?\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski This is what happens when you home school.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski How would he know? According to Mr. Cameron, neither he, his sister, nor any of their children ever attended a public or private school in their lives, or is he speaking about his father, a retired public school teacher?\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski Yeah, my kid came home the other day and told me all about the struggle of the urban proletariat and how workers should control the means of production. \ud83e\udd2a\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
\u201c@RonFilipkowski I worked in a public middle school for 20 years. Many of my coworkers were people of faith-who worshipped in churches & temples. Along with teaching their curriculum (math, science\u2026) the values of honesty, integrity, responsibility & caring are also emphasized. He has no idea.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1683892945
Also missing from Cameron's comments?
An explanation for how overworked, underpaid teachers have the energy to fight God Himself via their students, or how this supposed cabal of "nefarious forces" has the numbers to do so given teachers are resigning en masse at unprecedented rates.
Almost seems like he made this whole thing up.
