    Blasingame, who has served on the board since 2021, did not give a specific explanation for the decision, but said the subjects go beyond what the state requires to teach and creates “a perception that humans are bad”.

    Can you imagine if their practice was nationally adopted? You’d have a lot of people going around saying “I don’t know” when asked if they knew directions to somewhere. People having angry debates with another because they were asked about how much salt was applied to a piece of meat. People tearing down signs because they didn’t understand them.

    I mean, we DO have these people, but not the entire population of them.
