Our own Boko Haram, who call themselves Moms for Liberty

Most people are familiar with Boko Haram, the Islamist terrorist organization that began in Nigeria. What they probably don't know is what the name means. Contrary to some media reports, Boko is the Hausa word for the Western system of secular education brought to Nigeria by the British, and means more generally sham, fraud, or deceit.

When the British colonial government imposed secular schools in northern Nigeria at the beginning of the 20th century, Boko was applied in a pejorative sense to this new system.

Haram of course just means forbidden.

We shouldn't be smug. Our own local fundamentalists also think Western secular education is haram. Take for example, the locally-founded coven of screaming wingnut harpies quaintly named Moms for Liberty. These, ahem, ladies, who are mostly free of the education they so deplore, have gone after all mannner of social studies textbooks. And now they've also decided to clean up biology, which as we all know is a cesspool of deviant sex and Darwinism.

Especially quaint is their War on Seahorses. Yes, seahorses, genus Hippocampus, those cute little fish that swim upright and live entangled in weed. A more harmless beastie does not exist on Kali's green earth, one would think. But no. God, no. Seahorses are eeevil. Why? Because when she lays her eggs, Ms. Seahorse (sea-mare?) deposits them in a brood pouch on the front-facing side of Mr Seahorse's tail.

I bet he loves it when you call him sea-stallion. But what kind of stallion lets a gal do that to him? A gay stallion, that' what!

The eggs embed themselves, and he carries them for one to six weeks, dependsing on exact species, before tiny baby seahorses emerge.

This can't be right! This isn't God's Plan. Male and female created he them, and ii's the gals that are supposed to do the begetting of brats thang. These must be Satan's fishies! But fear not, Boko Haram, I mean Moms for Liberty, are on the case!. They complained the book Sea Horse: The Shyest Fish In The Sea is contaminating the innocent minds of our previous children. It contains...

mating seahorses with pictures of postions [sic] and discussion of the male carrying the eggs.

Alas, though, Hippocampophile sex-perverts will vbe disappointed if they rush to buy this piscian pornography. There are no racy photos of seahorsey canoodling. But, faithful to my polymorphously perverted nature, I provide, above, a picture of two of the creepy little demonfishes in flagrante delicto, which is Latin for aquarium. (Hey, I thought aquarium was Latin for aquatium).

Asked for her opinion, someone who looked quite like Brevard School Board candidate Megan Wright commented thusly...

That's disgusting. Look at his swollen belly! He's flaunting it! He has no shame! I don't know why he's so happy. She won't call him in the morning. They never do. And he looks so smug, probably because he's dreaming of playing on women's sports teams and using their bathrooms. Come to think of it, they're probably both gay!

In all fairness, I must correct her. Seahorses mate for life. Or so say the pervert lib'rul scientists who probably don't know what gender they themselves are either. Hurr hurr hurr.

Moms for Liberty, folks. Part of what makes America exceptional. Exceptionally stupid.
