Man makes a visual demonstration of how American bread is actually made Many Americans know our bread is toxic by now but they don’t really understand what the process of making it actually looks like and how bad it really is This is eye opening
In the 1970s Ben Stein interviewed major TV producers/writers to ask why their portrayal of US culture was so distorted. Businessmen were evil. Real life crime was always depicted inaccurately, favoring instead the Marxist narratives on race, class, and culture of the new left.
This is an incredibly important thread for all evangelical Christians, but especially Southern Baptists. So what happened here is that @WorldRelief, which works with the Evangelical Immigration Table to promote open borders and amnesty, commissioned (read *paid for*) a poll from Southern Baptist publisher and pollster @Lifeway. It claims that pastors support amnesty for illegal aliens and want further legal immigration. The implication is that we are talking about doctrinally sound evangelical pastors. But is Jon shows, look under the hood of the sample and you find roughly 36% are MAINLINE pastors. United Methodists. PCUSA. ELCA Lutherans. In other words, nearly 40% of the sample are whitewashed tombs who support homosexuality, transgenderism, and abortion, along with open borders. This is a deceitful attempt to convince ordinary pastors, ordinary Christians, but most importantly, Republican lawmakers that evangelicals support amnesty and want more immigration. But as Jon demonstrates in his thread, when you re-weight the survey to isolate evangelical pastors, you find the opposite. It’s a deceptive tactic, but unfortunately, it’s often effective.

Great “trick” to get kids to learn Two groups read the same passage. * Group A was told they'd be tested. * Group B was told they'd have to teach it to another student. Nobody actually taught anything. They were just told they’d have to teach. Group B crushed it. Better recall. Better organization. Advantage concentrated on main points. So just believing they'd have to teach changed how they studied. The researchers' line that stuck with me: students have effective study strategies they simply don't use unless prodded to. So our kids already know how to learn well. They just don't do it when they're told to study for a test. The test framing makes them passive. While teaching makes them active. At @ForgePrep, the highest level of mastery students can demonstrate is teaching another students to competence. It’s part of why we have Montessori mixed age classes as this creates more opportunities for this type of teaching
Evangelicals are the only religious group where a majority do not agree with these 3 statements: Abortion should be legal Gay and lesbian people should be allowed to marry Homosexuality should be accepted by society
