    Kentucky Understands Education!

    Kentucky Gov. Cuts Education Funding While Preserving Tax Breaks For Biblically-Themed Amusement Park



    Although the main funding formula for K-12 schools wouldn’t be cut, population growth means spending per student would decline. Also, education officials say the current year’s population estimate was low, resulting in a cut of more than $50 million to that funding formula.

    At the same time, the $43 million tax break Kentucky approved for a Bible-themed amusement park — which will include a 500-foot by 75-foot reproduction of Noah’s Ark — could go into effect for the first time under Beshear’s budget. In addition, the budget includes $11 million to improve a highway interchange near the park. Proponents of the park, Beshear included, have claimed it will boost tourism and create jobs, but those assumptions are based on a report done by the park’s developers.
    The amusement park is of course an educational facility, even if it is good family fun! Why, it's like an entire year of science packed into a single visit. This is going to be better than Disneyland in only about a million ways! Rather than focusing on over sized rodents and whorish princesses, families will get to focus on morally safe rides while gaining an appreciation for the kind of consequences having faithfulness can bring.

    But wait, you say, what about all those cuts in education? Well let's take a look at that, shall we? According to the Herald-Leader,

    Programs that would receive smaller cuts include: universities and community colleges, 6.4 percent; aging and independent living services, 6.4 percent; grants to local school districts, 4.5 percent; career and technical education, KET, libraries and archives and vocational rehabilitation programs, 4.2 percent; mine safety, 4.2 percent; Kentucky State Police, commonwealth and county attorneys, juvenile justice and local jail support, 2.2 percent; and property valuation administrators, 2.2 percent.
    Let's break this down:

    Universities and communities -- they don't deserve any more money until they can be trusted to teach our young adults the kind of Godly knowledge they will need to equip them for Heaven (Isaiah 61:9). Women have no business in higher education, for obvious reasons (1st Timothy 2:11). Until science and history classes in the university and college level courses are in compliance with God's Holy Truth, they can't be trusted with handling more money.

    Aging and independent living services -- Let's not fool ourselves. Old people are good for reading to little children but beyond that they are a drain on our emotions and bank accounts, fall and break hips, and disrupt our day to come to their homes and change light bulbs. If they are True Christians™ they should have no reason to prolong going home to the ever loving bosom of Jesus (Ephesians 4:30). If they are Hell-bound, there's no reason to keep them around sucking up our valuable resources like electricity and pudding. Spending money to keep them in bed longer is not being good stewards. (Matthew 25:14-30)

    Grants to local school districts -- Until Kentucky has the courage to face down the evilutionists like the Godly legislators of New Hampshire, Indiana, and Missouri, they can't be trusted with more money.

    Career and technical education -- There's no reason to give any state money to these kinds of schools when all they do is promote people to think for themselves and decide what to do with their own lives. We know God equips those He calls and He will not ignore the sincere prayers of the faithful (Proverbs 15:29). Rather than spending money on teaching young adults how to ignore God's voice and make decisions based on their flesh, they ought to learn how to discern God's will for them and have faith and go forth and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).

    KET (Kentucky Educational Television) -- No more money for Bert And Ernie Are Gay And You Can Be Gay Too public television! With God's blessing, KET will dry up and blow in the wind and be a thing of yesterday.

    Libraries -- Liberal media in one place. Bibles are crammed in next to the Koran and child porn is available on the internet for any Mary-worshiping priest to look at while the good people of the state pay for the privilege. I'm surprised God hasn't struck down all the libraries in tornadoes but surely it's only a matter of time.

    Mine Safety -- A blatant disregard for God's Sovereignty if ever there was! True Christians™ know that if God calls a miner home, then it's time for the miner to come home, end of story. No machine can stop God's plan and no machine is necessary to protect a True Christian™ from surviving any "accident" Satan might try and throw his way.

    Kentucky State Police -- This does break my heart. The police station of Freehold never faces such lack of support but the growing hoards of liberals and atheists in Kentucky are sucking the very life-force of safety and security from the people. Although perhaps this is God's way of encouraging legislators to think outside the box and encourage the kind of church-going program like Alabama's "Operation Restore Our Community," in which people who have broken the law can choose between incarceration and going to church to hear the Word of God and learn how to be saved. Because True Christians™ cannot commit crimes because we do not sin (1st John 3:6), a police force would be increasingly unnecessary.

    Commonwealth and county attorneys -- Honestly, if an attorney can't figure out how to make millions of dollars, they aren't worth retaining anyway. There's a reason Landover Baptist Church has the top jewish attorneys available.

    Juvenile justice and jail support -- See "Operation Restore Our Community."

    Property valuation administrators -- Seriously, how much money does it take to record a few numbers in a book?

That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

      As long as they train up enough chefs to work at the KFC outlets then that's enough funding on education.

        What a wonderful article, Sister! Thank you for sharing.

        Clearly, Governor Beshear understands the value of investing in the future.

        Sure, he could go back on the State's official agreement to provide tax breaks to the Ark Park, and blow that money on a single year's needs for school districts.

        But then, Kentucky would lose the Ark Park and all the economic development (JOBS) that would come with it.

        Next year, the schools budget would be cut anyway. So, while some kids might get a hair more education, it wouldn't be of all that much use . . . especially with no JOBS for them to get when (if) they graduate.

        This is exactly the approach Hugo Chavez is taking in Venezuela. He's got oil money right now, so he's spending it on school lunch programs and the like . . . while letting the rigs at the oil fields deteriorate, leading to a decline in production, and while not investing anything into long-term income generating assets. No sovereign wealth fund for Venezuela!

        Beshear is working hard to invest in Kentucky's long-term future. He's smarter than Hugo Chavez. Good for him!
