To those conservatives with firm Judeo-Christian values with children in our nation's government collectivist schools:
Your child's school is not "different". (Oh...yeah...I know...) Your child's school doesn't have homosexual prom Queen-queens or King-kings ( yet). They don't teach fisting ( yet). Your child's school has a holiday tree and sings a Christmas carol or two... but...your children **are ** attending GODLESS socialist schools that teach everything filtered through a socialist and GODLESSLY secular humanist worldview.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT THE GOVERNMENT RELIGION OF GODLESS SECULAR HUMANISM!!!!
Children who attend godless socialist schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly! They MUST merely to cooperate in the godless classroom, read and understand their godless textbook, and turn in their godless home assignments!
Children who attend our nation's socialist schools learn, merely by attending, that government has the police power to take money from neighbors to give them tuition-free schooling. They learn, too, that government has enormous police power to FORCE citizens to use the socialist schooling. Well! ( Is a “duh” needed here?) If government can give the kids "free" school, why not force citizens to pay for and use lots of "free" socialist goodies? No one should be surprised that Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times or that Obamacare was passed. Socialist and secular humanist, compulsory, government schooling made this inevitable!
PARENTS! ( Yes, I am shouting.) When you send your child off to a godless and socialist school, and then try to undo in a few minutes at home the** hours** of godless and socialist teaching of that school, don't be surprised that your children roll their eyes, sigh, and stand sullenly with one hand on the hip. Your kids are **correctly** thinking in their heads that you are a HYPOCRITE for sending them to a godless and socialist school in the first place!
TEACHERS! Give it up! If you **really** cared about kids, you would be rescuing these kids. You would be working to get kids OUT of these godless and socialist indoctrination camps! You would not be willingly seeking a job, taking money, supporting, establishing, opening the door of, and promoting a GODLESS and socialist institution. Teachers who care about kids don't teach them to think godlessly, hand out godless textbooks, or assign godlessly bland assignments, Teachers who love kids don't support an institution that teaches children to be comfortable with socialism or assist with it in ANY manner! Useful Idiots, though, do.
And....TEACHERS! ....If you foolishly believe that you can "sneak in" a few conservative and Christian principles into your classes then you are teaching a lesson! You are teaching kids that Christians and conservatives are SNEAKY!
Yeah! I am shouting. When are conservatives with Judeo Christian beliefs and values going to wake up and see the urgency?... Or?...Is the frog in the pot done? Should we put a fork in it, butter it, and lightly salt it?
Looks like NYC will be encouraging 11 year olds to sleep around.
40 minutes of Sunday School and a youth activity cannot undo 40 hours per week of secularist indoctrination either.
There cannot be such a thing as winning any sort of a culture war while sending your children off to the enemy for indoctrination.
That indoctrination is buttressed by the MSM and Hollyweird too!
There are urgent and important threats to our nation's experiment in self government, and there are serious, but not urgent, threats to our freedom.
Government schools are our nation's **most** serious threat. It may not be urgent, but those who win the hearts and minds of the nation's children will win in the voting booth in just one or two generations.
Attention is being paid to the Marxist indoctrination found in our nation's colleges and universities, but it is these same universities that indoctrinate the government school teachers and many private school teachers, as well.
And...If our nation's classrooms were filled to the brim with young men and women who were firm in their faith, capable of defending it philosophically, and well rooted in the principles of our Founding Fathers, their Marxist professors would wilt before their righteousness. These Marxist moles would be like the Wicked Witch of the West! “Help me! I'm melting!”
Agreed. We can’t disappear of hide from the world, but we must manage it and lead when it comes to our kids. They will be what they will when grown, but it is our duty and responsibility to get them through the mine field until then. We have not even mentioned our duty and responsibility to our Lord. Have we been letting Him down these past 50 years?
Only a hypocrite would send their child into godlessly secular and socialist schools and then attempt to teach Judeo-Christian values and conservatism in the home. The kids know this.
Why do we wonder that so many children have that vacant, 20 degree off-centered stare, and the one hand on the hip stance, when adults try to talk to them?
And...Teachers would would **willingly** agree to work for, support, and uphold this godless socialist indoctrination can only be one of two things: EVIL or STUPID!
It's expensive and the cost keeps us from paying off other debts and going on fancy vacations, but my daughter is a Christian who can actually think.
It's worth it and we believe we are serving God by sacrificing other things for her Christian education.
It's been much longer than that!
The first socialist government schools opened in the mid-1850s to early 1900s. At best they offered up a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth!
My paternal grandmother attended secular socialist schools. She was born in 1894. There was a HUGE difference between her secular government schooling and the Catholic education of my Catholic grandparents and mother.
It might cost you quite a bit, but money can always be made somehow and frankly put, your daughter won’t require a lawyer to defend her and you won’t have to pay bills for a therapist to sort out her head after years aroudn the juvenile delinquints of public schools.
The Federal Gov’t must be COMPLETELY denied any influence on public schools. Public education should be the sole responsibility of local communities, without gov’t funds, mandates, or interference.
No one will believe this. (except those of us in the choir)
I talk to good families that rationalize it all away, while they tell me that their kids are watching “Bowling for Columbine” and that the homosexual kids are heroes to them.
Sooo, how are things going to change if you totally retreat from them? Our 5 year old son is in kindergarten in a school district with 767 students. I keep a close eye on what is being taught in the classroom. One more thing, how many of you have tried to get on the local school board? Change it from within. It’s not easy but anything worth having isn’t either.

(Don’t know how you stand it, wintertime. Last time I posted such anti-ps sentiments, somebody went postal.)
Wow! I feel like banging my head against the nearest wall. Local government is **government**! Behind all government, on every level, stand armed police threat to enforce the law. Please remember that.
Even if government school districts were the size of a city block or a suburban housing division they would be SOCIALIST! Socialist funding is socialism.
Merely by attending children learn that government ( even local government) has enormous police power to take money from a neighbor to give a free school service to another. What kind of lesson is that to teach to a child???
Also....Even if schools districts were as small as one hundred households, then whose religious worldview would be taught? The default mode is either godless secularism or lukewarm and generic Protestantism. Teaching children to think godlessly is an abomination. And...We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth!
The only possible solution: Is to first rescue the children in your family. Do it immediately. Then focus on the children of your congregation.
Solution: We must elect representatives who **will** dedicate themselves to beginning the process of complete privatization of all education. We need complete separation of school and state on **every** level: federal, state, county, town , district, and even down to the level of every city block and housing subdivision.
Do you remember the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. Should Joseph have tried to change that situation from within? Hm? Or...Did Joseph flee?
Flee is exactly the word we need here.
And what we need is a Constitutional Amendment that Marriage is between One Man and One Woman in America.
Because the Progressives are hell bent on wiping Holy Matrimony from the map.
Didn’t Jesus say something about going into the world but not being of it or was it let’s retreat from it and live in a bubble and hope for the best?
I am interested - thank you! and will ping it out this morning.
