So, in a tit for tat agreement with my wife to do something I wanted to do, I agreed to go with my wife for Saturday and Sunday to the District Convention.
For most of the day, I simply read other things, paying little attention to what was going on. My wife could care less if I am paying attention, more that I am there to wrangle little ones who are being distruptive so she can listen.
But one of the things I did catch, was that they highlighted "Four Satanic Teachings".
One of which was that "You need a higher education to succeed in this world". So higher education is now Satanic?? I almost left. My wife looked at me when the speaker said it and she could tell I was not happy.
I made a point on the way home when talking to my kids to bring up that the unemployment rate of people without a college degree is TWICE that of people with a Bachelors degree, four times that of someone with a Masters, and 8 times that of someone with a Doctorate. To say nothing of their income potential.
I told them "Believe what you want, but you WILL go to college and get at least a Bachelors degree. You can pioneer or not or whatever you like AFTER, but just consider it an extended part of High School for you." Of course, we all know that if they go off to college they will learn some critical thinking skills, which is just fine by me.
