Training materials produced by the Florida Department of Education direct middle and high school teachers to indoctrinate students in the tenets of Christian nationalism, a right-wing effort to merge Christian and American identities. Thousands of Florida teachers, lured by cash stipends, have attended trainings featuring these materials.
A three-day training course on civic education, conducted throughout Florida in the summer of 2023, included a presentation on the "Influences of the Judeo-Christian Tradition" on the founding of the United States. According to speaker notes accompanying one slide, teachers were told that "Christianity challenged the notion that religion should be subservient to the goals of the state," and the same hierarchy is reflected in America's founding documents. That slide quotes the Bible to assert that "[c]ivil government must be respected, but the state is not God." Teachers were told the same principle is embedded in the Declaration of Independence.

Id go if the cash was good enough. No worse than a time share presentation.
I don't know if my principles would let me.
OTOH, standing on principles is fine, but I can reach a little higher if I"m standing on a pile of money. lol
yeah and figure if you don't take it some gullible folk who will buy into it may be taking the slot. your doing the world a service by taking their money.
Ok, that's solid advice. Kinda like keeping scammers on the phone so they have less time to scam easier targets.
