The worldwide school/college/university system="Mystery Babylon" "by whose sorceries all the nations are deceived" (Rev. 18:23) and who "sits on many waters"
The schools/colleges/universities have committed adultery against God are the "mother[s] of harlots" against God (Rev. 17:5): One's college is called one's "alma mater," or "nourishing mother," after the mother goddess of pagan religions which according to Deut. 32:17 is a demon. As many as 50% of Christian students say they have lost their faith as a result of four years in college; college professors 5 times more likely to be atheists than general public [1 Cor. 1 warns about how knowledge "puffs up"] How shocking! Look at what is most commonly studied in high schools across America, including St. Mary's in NY I attended, St. Paul's School in NH I taught Great Books at in their "Advanced Studies Program" during summer 2007, & the wicked Hobgood Academy in NC I taught English at in fall 2007: Homer's Odyssey, Sophocles's Antigone & Oedipus, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, & Hamlet, the three conic sections & other things in vain geometry; Newton's calculus; light, energy, & the three principal parts of the atom, Newton, Einstein, etc. in physics classes; U.S. presidents in history classes; etc. etc., all worshipped in place of Jesus!!! Colleges have similarly marginalized the Bible, especially since the end of the 19th century. Abominable! Paul was not joking when he said "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
all have the same academic dress including the mortarboard hat links the school system with the harlot Roman Catholic Church
one of the unclean animals of Lev. 11 representing "unclean spirits" or demons
Biretta: worn by all ranks of the Roman Catholic clergy including cardinals & priests; the ancestor of the mortarboard
Mortarboard: The mortarboard was worn by French Kings & Roman Emperors, who are all types of the Antichrist
Until the second half of the 20th century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.: therefore, most schoolteachers, like the Roman Catholic clergy which wears the similar biretta, should not be trusted
