Why do I get the feeling that Putin is pushing this to open the door to an official state religion being taught....
Interesting. Seems the opposite direction of where the socialist left is trying to push America.
A comment from an old teacher: “The best way to kill a subject, to make it an object of scorn and ridicule, detested by students and a dumping ground for poor teachers, is to make it mandatory.”
We give Putin a lot of crap on this site. But he’s also the person requiring that high school students read “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”, which is fictional (but very accurate and realistic) story of life in the gulag. If this book were required in US schools, OWS simply wouldn’t exist, it’s that good.
Russia needs to get its religion - it’s post-Christian society has been a disaster, starting with Communism, then the break up of their empire, then the collapse of their population. It’s a good move for them.
