We just have way too many bored and incompetent 1099’ed Journalism “professionals” running around trying to get “noticed”, by interviewing the weirdest wackos they can unearth.
As a former reporter/editor, believe me when I tell you that if you found one in 20 ‘professionals’ in the classic sense working as a reporter with integrity, you’d be doing incredibly good. In several years I came across a mere handful out of dozens I had genuine respect for. And most of those also left the business and never looked back out of sheer disgust.
J school turns out people for profit. People go there to push agendas when they get out. Such is the state of the modern reporter.
Cerberus is Greek mythology. Not Satanic.
By the way, Cerberus is greek for ‘Spotted”-
IE.. one of the oldest names for a pet in history:
SPOT.
(Who’s a good dog? Spot is! There’s a good boy...)
I have had many encounters with credentialed “reporters”.
I am also familiar with entities like the Poynter Institute.
But as a ray of hope, technology has helped rebirth a new and improved guild.
May God bless them and protect them.
Actually that's the Romanized form of the Greek name which was "Kerberos" or something similar. And known as "Garmr" in Norse mythology. Seems a lot of folks liked the idea of a terrifying multi-headed dog guarding the gates of Hell.
Although most of them gave the dog three heads, this activity book shows with just one head.
Also, the Harry Potter series had a guard dog with a similar name and three heads who guarded some magical/secret stone.
How about Separation of** SCHOOL** and State?
I hope this incident finally wakes conservatives up!
Fundamentally, it is **impossible** for any school to be religiously, politically, and culturally neutral because such a philosophic state of neutrality can NOT exist in the mind of any sentient human.
Fundamentally, government schooling violates every provision of the First Amendment ( speech, assembly, exercise of religious belief, and press).
Fundamentally government schooling is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination to all who are under police force to attend and pay for it.
Regardless of how the atheists fantasize that it is so, there is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. It all stems from the deliberate misinterpretation of a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to a council of churches when he was president. This is, incidentally, the only instance I can think of wherein the leftists use an extraneous writing to make an argument stick. They certainly don't use the Federalist Papers to the same effect--because those don't say what the leftists want them to say.
The First Amendment states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Common decency would have kept these nutjobs in the shadows where they belong, if only decency were still reasonably common.
Churches used to hand out bibles and copies of the new testament in schools when I was a kid. No harm came to any of us as a result.
Next best: Everybody get your kids out of public schools.
If there wrre to be an Antichrist as a single entity such as Prophecy fans like to discuss, then it is surely Mahomet and the “religion” he started.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Government schools violate free speech of every child forced into one of its prisons ( oops! “schools”).
Government schools violate free assembly of every child forced into one of it holding pens ( oops! “schools”).
Government schools control the free press of every child forced into one of its indoctrination centers ( Oops! “schools”).
Government schools curtail the ability to peacefully assemble with those of the child’s or parent’s choosing. This is true for of every child forced into one of its propaganda tanks.
The ability of a child to freely express and practice his faith is strictly controlled by the government toadies ( misnamed “teachers”) who run these mind molding machines ( oops ! “schools”).
Government schooling is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination to all those under its police enforced thumb....and...to all under police threat to fund them.
Personally, I hope to see more of this. Yes, I really do. Maybe then conservatives will come to understand that it is impossible for any school to be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral.
Get government out of the business of controlling the speech, press, assembly, and exercise of religion of children and forcing citizens to pay for this abomination.
Personally...I am glad to see this. Hopefully it will awaken citizens to the fact that all government K-12 schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. None of them are religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. All of them push the NON-neutral worldview of the most politically powerful voting mob.
