The main problem with Project 2025

 Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts has claimed that "the left has taken over our institutions." What I think Project 2025 comes down to is that the things people learn in school (especially the public schools) and college undermine the authority of parents. The kids come home with their science homework, which contradicts the beliefs of the Christian authoritarian parent.

And that's the problem in a nutshell.

The Christian right is wrong about science, and insists that only ideas forged 2,000 years ago are true. I say 2,000 years, although it seems to me that the Christian right finds the New Testament inconvenient, so maybe their idea of truth predates Jesus.

Science keeps whittling away at belief in God, and the authoritarian parent is not happy with newfangled ideas that undermine the patriarch's authority.

The Christian right is wrong about science and, therefore, they are wrong about evolution, homosexuality, the age of the earth, sex and gender, morality, climate change, racial equality, women's rights, which bathroom a person should use, and every one of today's various cultural controversies.

Yes, I have included morality. It is often said that science cannot tell a person how to be moral. But in my opinion, the more up-to-date a person is in scientific matters, the more information they have on what helps and what hurts. That's the crux of morality, as I see it. Don't make other people suffer, and try to alleviate suffering when you see it.

So, for example, seeing homosexuality as a sin will cause suffering. Calling homosexuality a "lifestyle" is a mistake. If your child is gay, it's not because some evil person has preyed upon them and "turned" them. Science tells us that your child was born that way. They know who and what they are. Throwing them out of the house, or subjecting them to some kind of "cure" is to treat them cruelly. Respecting your children is as important as their respecting you.

So, you're a man who is a member of the Christian right, and your authority must be respected in your household. The problem is that most of what you believe is wrong.

As a footnote, I would recommend to the reader a book by Timothy Ferris, The Science of Liberty, in which he argues that scientific progress and liberalism go hand in hand. Liberalism encourages science, and understanding science should make a person more liberal. And we can all see what the Trump regime has done to science.
