Once again, we need to stop the NEA.

Reagan promised to eliminate it. He didn't. Couldn't?

You will never defeat it by depending on ANY politicians. You can scream and holler and make demands till the cows come home. You are wasting your time, you money and your children's education.

the ONLY way they can be brought to their knees and become irrelevant (and bankrupt) is to ignore them and spend the time and $$$ providing alternatives: Home schooling, private schools, church schools, etc.

Your neighborhood churches are all set up for small neighborhood schools. They have class rooms, an 'assembly hall", a kitchen, bathrooms, etc. They could be church run or use contracted out to private entities.

That would also bring schooling back under the stewardship of the parents, the children wouldn't have precious hours wasted being bussed to H and gone, etc.

IOW, Back to parental control and back to BASICS.

so why is this not a national movement????

Stop nattering and start organizing - right in your small group of friends/parents at your kitchen table. They can then bring in their circles, etc and it can grow to fruition. Talk with your local pastors. There should be at least ONE in the neighborhood that would see the need to save our kids - which then saves our families, our neighborhoods, our towns - and, to paraphrase Gov William Bradford's famous quote: "as one small candle may light a thousand so the light here kindled hath shone unto many yea in some sort to our whole country."

Do it quietly at first. No fan fare, No 'publicity". The quiet revolution could grow 'under the radar' until, when the enemy gets wind of it - it's too big to stop.

Time to atop cursing the darkness - and start lighting candles.

Hold the phone, now! I see some obviously “gay” candy canes mixed in there with the regular ones. It sure looks like more than 2% to me.

Scrooge is much more worthy—at least he saw the error of his ways. Rotgut leftists seem to deny the power of God’s love and of precious Jesus all the way down to their self-chosen hellish reward. Lots of luck with that..

‘Jesus (ain’t) Allowed In School’

I remember that line. It’s from the song, “Preachin’ In The Boy’s Room”

The second amendment was specifically written to protect the first amendment.

Don’t forget that little baby Jesus is mentioned in the US Constitution.

In Pennsylvania all schooling was through parochial (parish) schools until the 1840's.

You can not hand out any religious information in schools especially when it has not been approved by the administration. Would you like someone from a sex cult handing out the how to of sex to your children? It may be their religion but it is not yours.

The teacher was pretty rude if that is actually what was said but I'm not sure of that. I've heard way too many stories that have grown considerably on the way home from school.

What is it about Jesus that makes so many otherwise stable left-wing radicals become so unhinged?

A very valid question here, because ordinarily that type of person may seem quite civilized.

A bit of a liberty by me but here is an imaginary scene at a happier and more tolerant time.

Teacher: (With kind smile)
I know you will understand about this, but a new policy is to be followed. What I am going to do, is to take your candy canes and lock them up in my desk. When you go home you can take them with you. Tell your parents what I have said about the new policy. If they wish, they can remove the messages and you can bring the candy cans to school for your friends.

She then carries on with the class activities.

Whoops! Yet another error. Last line but one should read.

.....and you can bring back the candy canes for your friends.

The public schools have embraced the sex cult.

And I understand the symbolism that Christians seek to attach to the candy cane. But the notion that the candy cane was created to tell the story of Christ, well, a quick internet search would quickly dispel that notion.

But to each his/her own beliefs and traditions...

P.S. All my children, myself, and my wife were all educated in Catholic schools. No one ever mentioned anything about candy canes. Perhaps that is a regional notion as well.
