Oh. My. God.

“As I said when I first campaigned and I’ve said it every time since, we need to get back to the basics: Reading, writing and arithmetic from first grade on,” Peters said. “We need to be teaching the ‘c’ part which is Christian values, not Muslim values, not transgender values. We need to be teaching the old Biblical values.

You know what, lady, I would have loved it if we'd cut all that stuff we got from Muslims out of my 1980s public school education. Here's what I wouldn't have had to take:

Algebra
Geometry
Trig (I HATED Trig. No more sine, cosine and tangent for me!)
Chemistry
Geography
Photography (oh wait. I loved Photography. Never mind.)

I guess by "Christian values" she means that addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are enough math for American kids.

I wonder if just basic math would have gotten us to the moon, since she also brags about that.
