Was the religious right responsible for the horrible school bullying and the hate against nerdy stuff in the 80s?In the 50s people like Buzz Aldrin and John Glenn played sports and enjoyed Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.In the 1980s however it would be unthinkable for High School students like them to enjoy those stories.Did the religious right declare it unChristian and unAmerican for the mainstream to enjoy "geek" stuff?Did they say only misfits and Satan worshipers enjoy "geek" stuff?Were they responsible for the horrible school bullying against people considered "nerds" because they declared DnD players evil?Or was it the capitalists? People would rather become millionaires, actors, and athletes rather than soldiers, scientists, and astronauts?Or was it ex athlete principals that allowed bullying against nerds because they were afraid or jealous against anyone who was intelligent?I am glad to know several athletes and military personnel who enjoy stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy and Mass Effect! They are intelligent, compassionate, and in peak physical condition!Dungeons & Dragons is still being sold!The religious right has failed!How do you feel about that?
