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?
1) Children should not be used as cannon balls in a cultural war that should be fought by grown ups. This is especially true of a innocent child who is a mere 5 years old and likely still needs help with some bathroom activities and likely can't tie his shoes.
2) Government schools need two things: Students and money. Taking a child out of the government school starves the beast of a student ( and the money that comes from the government for that student). Electing representatives who will cut off the money will starve the beast, as well.
3) Go ahead and run for the school board. Doing so will never make a socialist school system into one that is not socialist. That is impossible. At best you might possibly achieve some sort of lukewarm and generic Protestant worldview for the curriculum. We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth!
May God bless you in your efforts.
A mass exodus from public school would be the only event that would give me hope for Americas future.
Learning that government has enormous power is an EXCELLENT lesson for children to learn!
Don't know if you saw Newt's recent impressive video about the educational system... but he definately see's this as urgent... If you find the time take a look...worth the listen no matter what one thinks about his run, the guy is talking turkey to any who have ears to hear about what's really happening in the education system.
Yes, indeed!
Socialist schooling is our nation's **most** serious threat. Simply by attending children learn that the government has enormous police power to take money from a neighbor to give them a tuition-free service. It is a short step from there to using the voting booth and government police force to take money for lots of other “free” stuff.
And...A religious vacuum can not exist in any sentient being. When a child's faith is destroyed something else will rush in, and in government schools that “something” is godless secular humanism.
As of this year all my grandkids are now being taught at home...something I never thought would occur in my lifetime...and they are loving it.
My sons and wives determined they no longer could offset what was being taught and what the kids had to expereince from “the teachers”...let alone the other students. Nottom line...”No more”.
But....I will check it out.
He doesn’t need help with bathroom activities but if he had shoes with laces, he would probably need help with that. As for the rest, it’s a wheat and chaff thing. I can tell him what to retain and what to throw away. Will it be hard, yeah, probably.
If I did manage to get a seat on the school board I would suggest that the EIB be broadcast in the cafeterias.
And...I bet that not even one of your grandchildren has that sullen pout, 20 degree off-centered stare, and one hand on the hip stance seen so frequently in children who are institutionalized for their schooling.
I saw the headline and thought “that sounds just like something ‘wintertime’ would write”... :)
Which is a polite way of saying they don't want to bother otherwise...for to admit you're right they would be forced to action...they don't want to.
Another thing is the mindset of the parents with children today...human nature is taking a huge nosedive in the past years and with it these parents are and will be in the "blame game" no matter how their kids come out. I can see the lawsuits coming down the road against the school system...settled out of court and the parents haul in the bucks for attempting.
Last time I stuck a white glove in a grease pit, the grease pit didn’t get any cleaner...
I don’t reckon I’m going to send kids into battle unarmed either. That’s what the education years are for - arming them for battle.
It is not a conservative principle to use the threat of government force to hold other people's children in feeding pens and force them to listen to conservative propaganda, or to force your neighbor to pay for it.
How will moms get their “me time” if their kids are constantly with them?
Welcome!
And...Yep!...I was right about the shoe laces.
One grand daughter is very much a techie...like her dad...but it's not just about using the “gimmicks” it's creating and learning about them and how to develop. The entrepreneurial side runs strong in my family.
