You probably remember washed-up actor and right-wing blowhard Kirk Cameron from the TV series “Growing Pains,” which was the last time he had a steady gig.
Since leaving television, Cameron has become an evangelist, starred in a string of pathetic B-movies, and is also a fanatical advocate for home-schooling.
Why should parents teach their children from home? According to Cameron, it’s because letting them attend public schools will result in them becoming “atheists, drag queens, and strippers.
Cameron made that ludicrous assertion to podcaster Elizabeth Johnston, telling her that kids should never be exposed to curriculum and teachers who aren’t far-right extremists and Christian wackjobs like him.
“If we outsource our parenting because it’s easier or we believe the lie that we’re not qualified experts to educate our kids so we have to subcontract our parenting and discipleship out to the government, we’re gonna have little kids that come back as little Marxists, little statists, little atheists, drag queens, strippers, drug dealers, and you name it.”
Wow! That’s one hell of a list, isn’t it? Seeing as how I’m a proud graduate of public schools, I was shocked to learn that I’m also a communist who dresses in women’s clothes, earns extra cash on the side by stripping, and also finds time in my busy day to sell drugs. All of this so I can support my family and wreak mayhem on my otherwise peaceful neighborhood in the hope of bringing honor to Lucifer.
Is it any wonder that Kirk can’t get a decent gig in Hollywood? He probably couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s even if a blood relative was the manager.
Fortunately, Cameron’s ridiculous bullshit rant was countered with some heavy internet karma.
Here’s a suggestion for Kirk Cameron: You teach your kids the way you want and stay the hell out of my business. Deal?
