Disgraced ex-Fox News host Eric Bolling channeled the worst of the Christian nationalist Republicans and attacked teachers as groomers and devil worshipers, claiming schools are waging a war against your children.
Bolling opened up a new segment called "Spiritual Wars" and ranted like a rabid Pastor Mark Robinson from North Carolina.
The battle between good versus evil, freedom versus oppression, the individual versus tyranny of the collective, and, arguably, this war is far more important than any cultural war or political conflict as the salvation of mankind is at stake. And as those with faith are ridiculed and forced to be private about their beliefs, the secular left is doing everything to whether down the Judeo-Christian values of this country. And what better place for them to radically transform the nation, obviously, than to start with your children?
Bolling is furious that a judge ruled in favor of free speech, freedom of religion, and confirmed that under the First Amendment, students must be allowed to meet in an After School Satan Club.
Right-wing evangelicals only care about religion if you agree with their version.
"Folks, this is Satan worshipers, and they're doing everything they can to not only make Lucifer your child's friend and mentor, but they're actually recruiting to build their dark army from within our school system," Bolling said.
Bolling is not reading from a newly uncovered William Peter Blatty novel.
"The stakes couldn't be higher. And what's worse, they're using our own Constitution to justify it," he said.
Freedom of religion means all religions. It's pretty clear the students with their "After School Satan Club" have a much better grasp on their First Amendment rights than Eric Bolling. "The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religion that views Satan as a literary figure representing a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny and championing the human mind and spirit."
"This is where we are in America. Our children are being sexually groomed by radical teachers. And if it's not that, they're being indoctrinated by actual devil worshipers. You better keep a close eye on your kids, folks, because schools are becoming a very, very dangerous place," Bolling claimed.
So, if teachers aren't grooming your kids for pedophiles, they are recruiting them to join Satan's dark army and go all Legion on our asses
This type of psychotic Biblical nonsense has been spewed on the far-right fever swamps against Democrats for a long time and is now being mainstreamed, all in an effort to win elections for MAGA candidates.
There is literally nothing Republicans will not say to smear teachers, educators, and public schools. Villainizing public education is the Right Wing's primary aim these days. Because Betsy DeVos and her ilk want that money.
