Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America Indoctrination
Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America Indoctrination
This video is 2 minutes 43 seconds. The title is self-explanatory. Our nation's children are not attending religiously neutral schools. They are forced to attend (and taxpayers are under police threat to fund) government owned and run ATHEIST schools.
Government owned and run, socialist-entitlement, single-payer K-12 schools have never been, and are not now, religiously, politically, or culturally neutral.
Please remember that it is ***impossible** to live in a philosophic state of religious neutrality. All humans must choose between either a godless or God-centered worldview. All schools must choose one of these religiously non-neutral worldviews in which to develop their curriculum and school policies. Government schools, must as well.
Government school indoctrination threatens our nation's freedom. Organize with others. Work to shut down the government owned and run socialist-entitlement, single-payer, and godless schools. Let's begin the process of privatizing K-12 education in this nation. Work toward complete separation of school and state.

In today's godless government schools the children **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must at least while they are cooperating in their godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?
Finally, today's modern government K-12 socialist-entitlement and single-payer schools resemble prisons and in many ways children are being treated like prisoners. Children who attend government prison-like schools risk learning to be comfortable government prisoners! What will **that** look like in a few decades as these citizens go to their voting booths?
I used to use the acronym for this ping list occasionally. Not any more! Its seems some posters find pornography in the most innocent places and I don't dare risk being banned.
Every child should understand that K12 educators were not themselves the most accomplished students.
Any conservatives who have not yet had children should not bring children into this world until they are sure they can either home school or send their child to a conservative private school.
This is just one of the conservative campaigns that needs to be launched in the next two to three years. Pull children out of the system of left wing indoctrination en masse. The best part is, the less students in the public system, the less teachers (mostly communist) will be able to get jobs spewing their garbage. Good riddance. Conservatives also need to start pressuring state government to stop taxing those who do not use the public education system to pay for it. I don’t want the crappy service. I don’t want to pay for it.
Bump that!
Why should we be FORCED by threat of police and court action to fund a government godless indoctrination system that is **FUNDAMENTALLY** a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination?
Where are the class action lawyers?
Here's a possible legal strategy:
All government owned and run schools violate the First Amendment and freedom of conscience: Why?
1) Government schools are not religiously neutral. They never have been, are not now, and never can be. Why? Because religious neutrality is an impossible state of mind. All sentient humans ( and **all** schools) must choose between either a godless or God-centered worldview. Neither of these worldview is neutral in content or consequences. No child should be FORCED by means of police and court threat to attend these religiously NON-neutral government schools. No taxpayer should be FORCED by threat of police and court action to fund these schools.
2) All schools must control speech, press, assembly, and expression of religion to maintain order and safety. ( Prisons do, too.) When government runs and owns compulsory-use socialist schools, the government violates the speech, press, assembly, and religious expression of the child. In many ways the government treats children ( whose only crime was to be born) as a prisoner. No child should be FORCED by threat of police and court action to be treated this way by the government. No citizen should be under the threat of police and court action to fund it.
3) Isn't is a Constitutional violation to imprison people who have committed no crime and march them about like prisoners. Our nation's government K-12 schools are increasingly prison-like. Students ( who are people) are being **arrested** for child-like behavior that at one time was treated as an incidental learning moment. With increased police presence in the schools, especially after the recent shooting, this prison-like treatment and criminalization of childhood will only grow worse.
No child should be forced to attend these non-neutral government indoctrination centers. No citizen should be forced under threat of police action to fund this abomination!
Fundamentally.....Government owned and run socialist-entitlement, single-payer, godless, and compulsory schooling is a a freedom of conscience and First Amendment ABOMINATION!
>>Please remember that it is ***impossible** to live in a philosophic state of religious neutrality. All humans must choose between either a godless or God-centered worldview.

ABSOLUTELY true! The Founding Fathers knew that and built the USA on a BIBLICAL world view! We need to once again be an unashamedly CHRISTIAN nation. God’s law need to be OUR CIVIL LAW.
Seriously? Why should any home-based school have more health and safety regulations than the ordinary home-centered **day care**? ( ?????!!!!!)
Imagine the savings to the parents and taxpayers if we didn't have to support all that brick and mortar, and PRISON-like, infrastructure? Imagine the choice? Think of the innovations that would emerge?
“Every child should understand that K12 educators were not themselves the most accomplished students.”
That may not be a problem.
The best students do not necessarily make the best teachers. They don’t understand why some people are having trouble with what they have always found so easy.
My sister was a great middle school teacher, but only an average student. She grew into her greatness as an adult, with life experience. I have a law degree from U.C. Berkeley and am very proficient at reading and writing, yet I did a lousy job when I tried to be an adult literacy tutor. Now, when I help my kids with English homework, it is still tough to be effective at it, because the building blocks of learning are smaller and more numerous than I think they should be.
What’s worse is that the Christian schools are over run with liberal/socialists teachers.
For the life of me, I don’t know how anyone who calls themselves a Christian can vote democrat.
Gene Eric,
One more thing:
If any of our neighbors were to run a home-based school, none of these schools would be a “gun free zone”!
By the way, home based schools were once common in the U.S. They were called dame schools. Our literacy rate was far higher then, too.

This is a **Catholic** school and Obama voted THREE times to deny care to infants who survived an abortion.
Was this a government school?
Do great teachers **willingly** take a job with a government school where the government FORCES a child to think and reason godlessly? Children in the godless government classrooms must do this just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise? Would a “great” teacher do that to a child against the child's will, the parent's will, and that of the taxpayers FORCED to pay for this religious abomination.
Do great teachers **willingly** seek a job in a compulsory, socialist-entitlement, and single-payer government schools where the child is at risk of learning to be comfortable with socialism? Gee! If the voting mob can give a child tuition-free schooling, do you think the child might figure out that the voting mob can give him **lots** of free stuff ? Do great teachers do this to children?
Government schools violate every First Amendment Right ( as do prisons). In many ways children are treated like prisoners in their modern prison-like schools. They risk learning to be comfortable with government compulsion and being prisoners of the state. Do “great” teachers willing support and seek work in such abominable government institutions?
Just wondering.
Therefore......That is why our Founding Fathers wanted government to be as minimal as possible and as locally controlled as possible. Anything that the government does can not be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral in content or consequences.
Government schooling is a MAJOR abomination when it comes to the First Amendment and freedom of conscience. When there **are** alternatives to government run and owned schooling that have been proven to be superior, there can be no valid argument for allowing them to continue.
By the way....I have noticed that there is a strong similarity between the arguments used to defend government schooling and those used to defend slavery in the 19th century.
Do an experiment.
Each time the word “public school” is used in a defense of government schooling, substitute the word, “slavery” or “slave”. It is AMAZING how suddenly they become the same debating points used by supporters of slavery before the Civil War.
Here’s a revolutionary idea: Turn off the TV, stop chasing Mammon, quit remodeling your kitchen and take an hour off to attend a local school board meeting. Commies are in classrooms brainwashing children because conservatives are too damn lazy to get involved in local government. The Founders warned you that liberty requires vigilance. You failed. What are you gonna do about it?
Regarding: School board meetings
What a waste of time. It is impossible to reform socialist-entitlement, godless, compulsory, and single payer programs. And...Government schooling is the very definition of a socialist-entitlement, single-payer, compulsory, godless, price-fixed, and cartel monopoly program.
Solution: Abolish the school boards and work to shut down socialist-entitlement, single-payer schooling. Begin the process of privatizing K-12 schooling.
While our Founders wanted and educated citizenry they would be appalled at out system of government owned and run socialist-entitlement, godless, and single-payer schools. They are producing godless and socialist voters but certainly NOT educated citizens.
Parents are responsible for the education of their children. The government should STAY OUT of what is entirely a family matter. The type and amount of education children need should be determined entirely by the head of the household. Period.
In the absence of SOCIALIST schools parents would, in most cases, band together (probably with the help of churches) to facilitate the education of their kids. But whether or not they do that - and the extent to which it is done or not done - is, again, entirely up to each family.
Satanists Plan Rally in Support of Florida Gov. Rick Scott
The Satanic Temple is planning its first major rally, which will be held in support of Florida Gov. Rick Scott later this month for — which might sound ironic — signing a bill that allows for the possibility of prayer in public schools.
The religion’s founder Neil Bricke, who is based in New York, is expected to speak at the rally. Bricke uses an assumed name for Satanic-related business and would not reveal his real name to ABC News. The group also hopes to open a temple in New York in the next few months.
It may be telling that the Satanic temple will be located in New York and the group’s first rally, scheduled for Jan. 25, will be held in Florida.
“New York is a pretty good place for Satanism. Florida is too,” said Satanic Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves.
The Florida bill that has delighted the Satanists is Senate Bill 98 and gives students “sole discretion in determining whether an inspirational message is to be delivered” at a student assembly. The bill prohibits school officials from participating in or influencing whether an inspirational message will be delivered.
Satanists feel that the policy “does a lot to support religious diversity,” according to Greaves.
“The Satanic Temple embraces the free expression of religion, and Satanists are happy to show their support of Rick Scott who — particularly with SB 98 — has reaffirmed our American freedom to practice our faith openly, allowing our Satanic children the freedom to pray in school,” the Temple said in a release announcing the rally.
“This is a great country. Everyone has a voice,” Gov. Scott’s press secretary wrote in an email to ABCNews.com when asked about the rally.
Greaves said that Satanism is an “unjustly maligned” religion.
“I think that Satanism is the very definition of a marginalized or misunderstood religion,” Greaves told ABCNews.com. “People don’t think of Satanism as being a compassion-based religion in the least, and they usually associate it with anti-human behavior.”
Members of the religion believe that Satan “has the compassion and wisdom of an angel,” according to the religion’s website. They believe that God is perfect and outside the sphere of the physical, so Satan presides over the universe as his “proxy.”
This is the religion’s first major rally and Greaves said that while many followers have expressed online interest in attending, he does not know how many will be at the rally. He also does not know the exact number of followers the religion has, but says it is in the “thousands” based on online activity from around the world.
The Satanic Temple formed in 2012. When their building opens in New York, Greaves said, “We would be the only real, active Satanic church that actually holds public services.”
How long until this is promoted in public schools?
