I have had the experience of teaching for about a decade on a reservation. While there, confirmed by decades chatting with friends raised on the res, I can I quickly discovered a rather insidious flavor of evil namely how we (Americans/government) chopped up and paid churches to destroy their culture. I could write a book describing the harm - - - Yesterday a student showed me a photo of his recently deceased (covid) grandparent. In the notes was a tree of number of children, grand children, and great grand children. The number was close to 80. The large number of offspring made me happy. Today while teaching him math I gave an example where he was given a hundred dollars for work and asked him if he did all the work how much money he would have if he was given a hundred dollars. His answer was, "a dollar or two. I would give the rest of the money away to people who need it." This is a core of the traditional value set that was nearly completely destroyed by "Christians" The churches I grew up with would impose you give them a minimum of 10% of the money.

@Thirst2learn thanks . Your answer to a very simple question is noted and valued appropriately .

@Thirst2learn Everybody's a communist to you. You're like a 2020 goober bumpkin version of Joe McCarthy.
