And this is the left's tool to destroy society as it has existed for six thousand years.

Moral relativism.
Rationalization.
Shades of grey.
Whatever, it’s been around forever.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
No. An opinion is neither true nor false. It is simply an opinion. It may be strongly supported by evidence or not. But it is still neither true nor false.
The idiocy here consists of the claim that there are only two categories, facts and opinions.
Not all truths are facts.
A fact is something that can be demonstrated objectively.
Sorry, but “all men are created equal,” while a truth in which I believe, is just not a fact.
The Founders said they “held” to this truth. Which is to say, “to have in the mind or express as a judgment, opinion, or belief.”
Not all truths are facts.
If you have school aged kids, teach them to push back.
Teach them to ask the teachers:
* So you’re saying that slavery isn’t wrong?
* So you’re saying that racism isn’t wrong?
* So you’re saying that it is OK for men to rape women if they are able to overpower them?
Homosexuality is unnatural. This is scientific fact—not an opinion.
Homosexual relations are equal to heterosexual ones<—this is an opinion that’s also demonstrably false.
Both of these statements have nothing to do with religion. They are based on observable reality—that male and female genitalia are designed to work together and only male/female couplings can result in conception. Sadly, we live in a world where people seem to believe that just because we vote or conduct a survey on something, that makes it real.
They were teaching this exactly the same way in the early 1970s when I was in elementary school.
Of course “copying homework is wrong,” “cursing in school is inappropriate,” and “all men are created equal,” are opinions and not facts.
They are correct opinions; proper and appropriate value statements.
Dude, moral absolutes are just so ... un-post-modern.
The best way is to put these indoctrinators out of a job! Kill their paycheck, generous vacations, and pensions! Permanently! Shut these schools down from pre-k through college graduate school.
How?
1) Homeschool. Encourage others to homeschool. If you must institutionalize your child find a conservative private school. Remember, though, that even private school teachers were likely trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run godless colleges of education.
2) Vouchers, tax credits, charters to build a private infrastructure. The goal should always be complete privatization of all education.
3) Work toward certifiable qualifying exams as Charles Murray recommends. The less time spent in college the better!
4) Encourage businesses to accept SAT, ACT, and GRE scores, instead of a college diploma, to screen for bright and trainable applicants. Most of the work done in the U.S. historically never required more than a solid 8th grade to 12th grade education.
The public school system must be dismantled.
When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes the absolute. — Franciss Schaeffer

They leave out the most critical thing: Wisdom!!!!
A: Liberals are genetically incapable of wisdom.
B: Liberals are evil.
C: A&B
Truths and Values all come from Wisdom. Some wisdom comes from wise men and a lot of wisdom comes from God!!!
In some high schools, Planned Parenthood is even teaching the sex ed classes.
Better to pull your children out of them and do it yourself at home.
bump for later
