This is layered… Not only will the kids grow up incorrectly believing that the earth is flat, they are also going to grow up resenting people that disagree with what their parents say, eventually they may even resent their parents for forcing their false beliefs on them and making them look foolish in front of their peers.

I have met a Flat Earth conspiracy believer mom who was homeschooling her kid, explaining how the sphere Earth model is wrong and so on, her complain was that despite her best efforts to indoctrinate educate her child, the child was not convinced that the Earth is flat. It goes to show that some children are just too intelligent to fall for this kinda shit. The child was eight or nine years old I think.

Reminds me of Aron Ra, he grew up in a mormon family, but in his case they waited with the indoctrinating until he was old enough, which was when he was eight

But as he himself said “by then it was already too late”

When his mother sat him down and started reading to him from the book of mormon, he just pointed out things that were wrong and stupid.

Remember, if you want your kids to believe the stupid things you believe, start early and don’t let them see or hear too much about reality, or you’ll have a bad time

This is, very simply, child abuse.

I can assure you people really are this stupid. My fiance works at a public library in rural Ohio and young-earth geocentrism is alive and well.

I babysat a girl who came to me and asked if atoms were really little crosses, like her grandmother taught her. She was confused because the teacher at school was saying something different

I told her to listen to her teacher

All of this effort just to teach your kids… flat earth?! Could’ve been spent to teach them gardening, electronics, paintings, literally anything else would’ve been more useful for the child’s future.

If it makes you feel any better, chances are the kids will learn pretty quick they were taught BS and will probably just disown Mom at some point.

I knew a kid who was home schooled, and while he wasn’t taught anything as looney as flat earth, he absolutely knew that some of what he was taught was BS

It’s not just flat earth, spot the mention of “verses.” It’s the whole young earth creationism belief complex.
