Promoting LGBTQA+ which is a violation of "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," which includes biology, and supporting Open Borders resulting in a public health crisis more deadly than Covid-19. "Progressives" and "activist educators" rebel against God's boundaries which eliminates any excuse they might attempt to claim, which results in a depraved (reprobate) mind and evident in their deceit and wickedness (Romans 1:18-31); and in taking pleasure in promoting their depravity, and most disturbingly to our children (Romans 1:32). Therefore, as Kingdom citizens, we are called to light our candle so "that they which come in may see the light." (2 Timothy 4:2-4; Ezekiel 33:9; Luke 11:13)

 

Teachers Unions Must Be Stopped - Can public schools be saved? Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, discusses the failures of teachers unions and public education.

 

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Is This the Real Reason the Left Is Freaking Out About Trump dismantling the Department of Education? -By Tyler O'Neil -  ...America’s two largest teachers unions—the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association—are notorious for bankrolling Democrats and leftist causes. In the 2024 presidential election cycle, NEA gave $3.2 million to Democrats and $29.2 million to liberal groups,  according to Open Secrets. The AFT gave $2.8 million to Democrats and $4.4 million to liberal groups.

 

Meet Becky Pringle, the president of the largest teachers union — the National Education Association. - By Emmy Griffin - The NEA and AFT are left-wing-captured unions. They set the tone for teachers and administrators, and they are key disseminators of leftist ideology in public schools. Pringle is less discussed than Weingarten, but as the president of the NEA, she is playing from the same playbook and being richly paid for her efforts.

 

If You Think All Teachers Are ‘Heroes,’ You’re Part Of The Problem - By B.L. Hahn ...Some will suggest that educators are hamstrung by lesson plans and are only doing what is required of them. In some cases, this might be true, but this disqualifies them from being heroes. To argue otherwise would be to assume the following: Teachers who knowingly infect the minds of America’s youth with poisonous ideas are heroes nonetheless and deserve the elevated status we give them.

 

It’s far worse than most people realize: School officials, library officials, and leftist organizations harm children by providing graphic and obscene books in schools and libraries Tand these depraved radical employees and politicians defend them.

 

 

The Most Destructive Lie Ever Forced on the American People - By Eddie Hyatt  ...In the past 60 years, prayer and Bible reading have been outlawed in our schools. Ten Commandment displays have been removed. Liberals and secularists decided that children should not be exposed to prayer, Bible verses and moral laws. Instead, they are taught that there are no moral laws or objective truths to which they must adhere. They are told that they are free to create their own moral world of right and wrong with no fear of Divine retribution.

     ...The Founders are Clear on the Key for National Stability: When the Founders use the word "religion," they referred to Biblical Christianity. ...Two weeks before signing the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote to his cousin, Zabdiel Adams, a minister of the Gospel, and said, "Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand" (Hyatt, 1726: The Year that Defined America).

     ...We now have a generation that, in the words of Adams, is "unbridled by morality and religion." Far-Left extremists have done everything in their power to purge America of her Christian roots and push for more government control.

 

Good News: 1776 Curriculum Is Taking Off - The battle for the minds of our children is difficult, but it is far from lost. -By Brian Mark Weber We've all heard of the New York Times's 1619 Project, the subsequent book, and the curriculum spreading throughout our schools. And we know the project is rife with errors, exaggerations, and outrageous claims that portray America's founding as fraudulent and inherently racist. ...Fortunately, people are finally starting to take note and reconnect with the miracle of 1776 that sparked a wave of freedom and prosperity that we all enjoy today.

     ...Hillsdale has launched the 1776 Curriculum to bring this education to students in elementary through high school. ...The program is now being embraced and implemented in schools around the country. And the Leftmedia is taking note.

     ...But the Marxists and socialists who contributed to the 1619 Project do oppose the words in the Declaration because their vision for humanity requires subservience to a powerful elite, submission to tyranny, and a surrender of individual rights. Then, and only then, will they be able to build a "new" society that takes us back into the oppressive past.

  • Library staff who bring in obscene sexual and LGBT books for children and teenagers

  • School counselors who coach troubled kids to think that they're really transgender or homosexual

  • School officials who encourage kids to dress as the opposite sex at school and opposite-sex name, while keeping that information from the parents

  • Teachers and school officials who secretly steer kids to outside, adult-run LGBT groups or Planned Parenthood clinics.

  • Elementary school teachers who groom children with "fun" materials meant to "normalize" homosexuality and transgenderism.

  • Elementary school teachers who push anti-gender-stereotype propaganda to young childern, e.g. that boys should embrace feminine traits and girls adopt masculine traits.

  • Local leftists - often well organized - who viciously demonize parents if they complain about what the schools are doing to their children.

  • School officials and teachers who refuse to teach proper reading, arithmetic critical thinking, cursive writing etc., that students will need throughout their lives.

  • School officials and teachers who twist history and civics curricula into lessons that are anti-American, and often outright Marxist.

  • School board members who aggressively support all those terrible practices and hold conservative parents in contempt.



 

 

Our children – the greatest mission field - By Judge Phil Ginn - ...Our ruling elites do not want biblical truths passed on to the next generation because it interferes with their godless culture's embrace of hedonistic excess. ...Their ultimate goal is an unthinking population that depends on the government for everything by creating generations who simply do what they are told and who lack the ability to evaluate real truth much less biblical truth.

      ...We also know that these times in which we are living in our nation are too challenging; they are too grave for us to sit idly on the sidelines any longer regardless of personal loss. ...the very lives of our precious children are at stake, the fainthearted need not apply. How long will we allow our cherished offspring to be sacrificed on the altars of demonic absurdity?

      ...The spiritual upbringing of these next generations of our children and grandchildren in the only truth that matters is essential both to the survival of America and to the eternal destiny of these treasured little ones as well. The gospel of Jesus Christ is so crucial that it is a hill upon which we will stand and die if necessary. ...If we say that we really love them, isn't it time we started acting like it?


 

Romans 1:28-32 - And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not proper. They were filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, boastful, inventors of evil things, and disobedient toward parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, calloused, and unmerciful, who know the righteous requirement of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death. They not only do them, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

 

 

"For the kids?" Voting for Democrats and sending our kids to government/NEA-run schools to be proselytized in delusional fake science and biology and indoctrinated in Marxism is parental neglect. Does "For the kids" mean to loose their freedom, liberty, and the free market American Way of Life that made America the Greatest Nation? Voting Democrat allows depraved reprobate minds" of Satanic "pride" who are being devoured by the wiles of Satan's counterfeit lifestyles, to violate God's design of nature, biology, marriage and family, and thus the foundation for a healthy and civil society. We are witnessing the consequences of removing God, Bible and Prayer and America's true history from public schools.


2 Timothy 3:1-7 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

    “Mom and dad don’t need to know that”: - By Peter Heck - ...This undercover video from Indiana schools is infuriating ...Bragging about their ability to "stay under the radar," the assistant superintendent of Plainfield Community Schools, Laura Delvecchio, admitted that the school uses "social emotional learning" content to package principles of so-called critical race theory. ...Monica Kegerreis, assistant superintendent of Fairfield Community Schools, a district with just over 2,000 students, gleefully boasted about her teachers not saying "out loud" that they were indoctrinating students. Kegerreis explained that in her district's English and Social Studies classes, teachers were using curriculum tied to left-wing hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, as well as Marxist pseudo-historian Howard Zinn.

     

    American Veterans Center - Our schools used to teach every child about D-Day. Among the thousands of heroes of the longest day were the 12 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their courage and valor… but that’s no longer the case. We have failed to teach our children the legacy of service, honor, and sacrifice of the men who fought their way into Hitler’s Fortress Europe.

       In a recent poll of High School Seniors:

       • 72% Didn’t know we fought Hitler during World War II.

       • 87% Didn’t know we entered WWII because of the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

       • 60% Didn’t know which countries we fought in WWII

       • 13% Thought General Dwight Eisenhower was a general from the Civil War

     

    ...George Orwell wrote in his novel 1984: "Those who control the past control the future, and those who control the present control the past."

    ...Adolph Hitler: "When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'" ..."The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes."

    ...Vladimir Lenin: "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

    ...Karl Marx:"Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily destroyed."

    ...Yang Berhorma: "A nation or generation that does not know the history of their nation is a nation that lost its identity, and can be easily manipulated."

    ...Ronald Reagan: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free."  

     

    "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system."  Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.

       Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.     

     

     

    John Adams: "The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families... In vain are Schools, Academies, and Universities instituted, if loose principles and licentious habits are impressed upon children in their earliest years... The vices and examples of the parents cannot be concealed from the children. How is it possible that children can have any just sense of the Sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest Infancy, they learn their mothers live in habitual infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant infidelity to their mothers?"

     

    What Our Nation's Founding Fathers Can Teach Us About the Shocking State of Today's Educational System - By Blair Parke: You may recall American Founder Fisher Ames' (1758-1808) evaluation of public schools in 1789: "We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education. We're starting to put more and more textbooks into our schools. We've become accustomed to putting little books into the hands of children, containing fables and moral lessons. We're spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools." It's worth noting that the Honorable Fisher Ames was co-author of the First Amendment to the Constitution. The reason America's founders took such an unequivocal position on biblically based education was so "that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God" (Deut. 12:28).

    "Knowledge unenlightened by the truth of God is dark knowledge.  We may have a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D., but without the Lord all we have is dark information. It may help navigate us in the world of darkness, but by itself will never lead us to the truth. Apart from the revelation of the Spirit of God, none of us could ever find our way into the light. Darkly educated people are like those whom Paul described to his young protégé', Timothy, as 'always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.'" (2 Timothy 3:7)  -- "Rediscovering the Kingdom" by Myles Munroe

    Save Our Children, Save Our Country Wake up, America — our education system is hard at work producing a generation of one-dimensional thinkers. -By Jack DeVine - ...Wake up, America — our education system is hard at work producing a generation of one-dimensional thinkers
         ...Our children are captive to an educational system that embraces hard-left ideology and rejects all else. In many respects, the prevalent viewpoints held by American educators are out of step with mainstream American thinking and yet are likely to have outsized influence on formative young minds. The sharp political tilt of American public education is undeniable. About 90% of American elementary and secondary school students go to public schools; 70% of American school teachers are unionized, and of those, about 90% are affiliated with either the National Education Association (NEA) or the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). These are labor unions — the NEA is the largest labor union in the United States — and labor unions are traditionally and overwhelmingly Democrat. Nearly all teachers union political support (94% of NEA and AFT contributions) go to Democrat candidates, and in return they are supported — and funded — by Democrat lawmakers.
         ...Nor does it stop there. Higher education is notoriously progressive as well. Ours has become a one-dimensional education system, from top to bottom. Without a doubt, the unions' leftward political allegiances ultimately influence what students learn about today's controversial issues. LGTBQ adherents, for example, are a political constituency.
         ...So how do we avoid my nightmare scenario of a next generation stuck in a one-dimensional worldview? A few thoughts come to mind:
         1.) School choice is an obvious answer, providing parents realistic alternatives and putting in place meaningful competition among education providers.
         2.) The role of teachers unions is to protect the interests of their members, NOT to achieve their preferred political ideology. As in other fields, unions that lose perspective in that respect will ultimately lose traction.
         3.) Balance in education is critical. There's nothing wrong with teachers presenting their own views (progressive or not) on controversial current issues, provided they present the counterviews as well. Parents and boards must insist on that.
         4.) One non-negotiable element: teachers must provide honest, open, and full disclosure to parents on all matters affecting children's mental and physical health.
         5.) Disagreement with progressive views on LGBTQ or other matters should never open the door to prejudicial behavior. Educators and parents alike must teach our children to respect the views of others, whether we agree with them or not.
         6.) Boards of Education serve as the bridge between teachers and parents and between schools and the teachers unions. Board membership is not a symbolic position — boards must be actively engaged, open, and responsive, and voters must hold them to it.

    Selling a million copies a year for over 100 years, McGuffey's Readers were the mainstay of public education in America. Generations of school children read them, making them some of the most influential books of all time. They were written by William McGuffey, who died MAY 4, 1873. A professor at the University of Virginia and president of Ohio University, he began one of nation's first teachers' associations. In the foreword of McGuffey's Reader, 1836, he wrote: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our prevalent notions of the character of God, the great moral governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions." In McGuffey's 5th Eclectic Reader, 1879, is a lesson by William Ellery Channing, titled Religion The Only Basis of Society: "How powerless conscience would become without the belief of a God...Erase all thought and fear of God from a community, and selfishness and sensuality would absorb the whole man. Appetite, knowing no restraint...would trample in scorn on the restraints of human laws... Man would become...what the theory of atheism declares him to be-a companion for brutes."  

     

    How To Raise Kids When Leaving Public Schools Is Not An Easy Option - ...It feels hopeless. What can you do? If this is you, the only solution is to get very serious about training your kids. It’s Going to Take Very Active Parenting. ...We know, you’re tapped out by work and carpool and all those darn school Parental Involvement Program hours. But if you don’t want your children devoured by the woke beast, this is a must. On socialism, abortion, sexual ideology, critical race theory, evolution, and all the other hot issues, you need to have the facts straight. So if you are clueless, it’s time to educate yourself.

       The only way your kids survive the left’s assault on their childhood is if you are engaged in the battle with them. Are you raising children in America today? Are you also not insane? If so, you have surely asked yourself: How can I protect my kids from the race, sex, and anti-American garbage rampant in our society these days? This question is especially pressing for those of us who send our kids to public school. We’ve watched the teacher video encouraging kids to pledge allegiance to the gay pride flag, and read reports of entire districts propagandizing that white-skinned people are guilty of “the spirit murdering of Black and Brown children.” We don’t need Twitter to tell us the schools are crazy, our kids do. We have seen the Black Lives Matter school curriculum promoting “queer affirmation” in the name of so-called anti-racism. We have attended the inane “student-led conference” with our kids’ pride-pin-adorned advisory teachers, and observed the classrooms emblazoned with leftist, anti-capitalism, and BLM propaganda.

     

    Homeschooling in the Black Community - By Patrick Hampton - ...For many families in the black community, homeschooling has become a vital way to take back control of education and make sure our children get the learning they truly need. Like other homeschooling families, parents in our community are stepping up and crafting education plans that reflect their kids’ unique experiences and backgrounds. Many black parents see that mainstream schools often fail to honor the rich history and culture that shape our children’s identities. It’s not just about textbooks; it’s about teaching our kids about their conservative history and the principles that led to their freedom. Black mothers, in particular, are feeling this struggle deeply. With black boys facing challenges in public schools — like lack of support for their individual needs — more parents are making the brave choice to homeschool. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifeline.

       ...That’s why homeschooling is so crucial. It gives parents the chance to build a curriculum that speaks to their children’s lives, giving them the knowledge and confidence they need to thrive. We all want our kids to have a solid foundation to build on. Plus, with support from other black and brown homeschooling families, we can break the isolation that sometimes comes with this choice.  


       

     

     

    Critical Race Theory is an outgrowth of the European Marxist school of critical theory, critical race theory is an academic movement which seeks to link racism, race, and power. Unlike the Civil Rights movement, which sought to work within the structures of American democracy, critical race theorists challenge the very foundations of the liberal order, such as rationalism, constitutional law, and legal reasoning. Critical race theorists argue that American social life, political structures, and economic systems are founded upon race, which (in their view) is a social construct.     

         CriticalRace.org is a resource for parents and students concerned about how Critical Race Theory, and implementation of Critical Race Training, impacts education. We have compiled the most comprehensive database to empower parents and students. We have researched and documented Critical Race Training in over 200 colleges and universities in the United States. The website explains Critical Race Theory itself and provides resources to learn more. Additionally, it allows users to look up the steps their school has taken to mandate Critical Race Training in different parts of the college experience, from changing academic codes of conduct to funding “equity” projects. Not all of the colleges and universities in this database and map have Critical Race Training.

    Normalizing Perversion -By M.B. Mathews - ...It is a goal of the Left to strip sexuality of its decency, its sanctity, and its beauty. Because they abhor the very idea of a God who holds people responsible for the breaking of His commandments and biblical principles, they do all they can to reduce sexual behavior to an animal act, a bodily function. It's very Darwin, very Rousseau, two heroes of the Left. These two men still speak to us from the grave with their fetid breath. Depriving children of their childhood by sexualizing them is a crime worthy of the worst possible punishment.

    Alternatives to anti-Biblical secular Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

    Trail Life USA  - A Christian adventure, character, and leadership program for young men. The K-12 program centers on outdoor experiences that build a young man's skills and allow him to grow on a personal level and as a role model and leader for his peers. Living the Trail Life is a journey established on timeless values derived from the Bible." As of August 2014, there are 412 chartered troops in 47 states with 275 others in the process of becoming official.

    American Heritage Girl - A faith-based alternative to the Girl Scouts continues growing in popularity throughout the United States. Membership rolls for the Girl Scouts have declined by more than 100,000 in the past five years. During that time, the organization has embraced political correctness and removed references to God and country from its printed material and motto.


    Education alternatives to anti-Biblical and anti-Constitutional Republic

    Homeschooling, Homesteading, and the Renewal of American Citizenship - By Rachel Alexander Cambre - Far from merely withdrawing from modern social ills, homeschooling and homesteading actively work to heal them. In part because the home is no longer the primary place of work, school, or social gatherings for most Americans, it is typically thought of as a private retreat away from the “real world,” where the obligations of citizenship recede as personal concerns take center stage. But such a conception overlooks the formative role that is proper to the home. When centered as the locus of family life, the rightly ordered home can serve as a school for citizenship, offering lessons in self-government, voluntary association, and patriotism.

    What recourse do Christian parents have when the NEA is advocating for deviant gender indoctrination of 4-year-olds? - By Joy Lucius - ...In today’s culture, gender-specific pronouns are commonly being replaced with these gender-neutral pronouns, and the National Education Association (NEA) is one of the organizations pushing such rhetoric as the norm for students ages pre-k through 12th grade. In its official pronoun guideline, the NEA, the nation’s largest teacher union, claims early childhood education is necessary because most Americans grew up assuming they “knew someone’s pronouns just by looking at them, or knowing their gender, but that isn’t the case.”
    Defying the darkness: Such a claim clearly defies the biblical authority found in Genesis 1:27 (ESV): “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
    ...But what recourse do Christian parents have when the NEA is advocating for deviant gender indoctrination of 4-year-olds? For some parents, homeschooling has become the answer to that dilemma. The National Home Education Research Institute reports that at least 3.135 million students were homeschooled in 2022. Other sources believe the number to be much higher since not all states require homeschool student registration. For other parents, homeschooling is not a practical option, so they are left searching for an alternative to the culture’s woke educational agenda.
    ...Finding an alternative: RenewaNation offers parents a viable option through its subsidiary called iLumenEd. RenewaNation is a Christian organization with a singular vision of transforming culture by teaching millions of children a biblical worldview. Its mission is to equip and inspire families, churches, and schools to achieve this objective through a host of educational resources, including iLumenEd.
    ...“We also believe that according to Deuteronomy 6:1-9,” declared Pike, “parents are ultimately responsible for the education and discipleship of their children. We see our role as one of delegated authority from parents, so we work diligently to build strong partnerships with the parents of each student.” This partnership with parents, schools, and churches is helping iLumenEd transform culture, one student at a time.
    ...The program is a live virtual school serving students in grades 6-12. The program also provides previously recorded class options for students with conflicting schedules. Fully accredited, iLumenEd offers all core courses and a variety of electives. ...Students can take a full course load or individual courses, depending on the need. iLumenEd also offers diploma tracks that satisfy diploma requirements for all 50 states. ...With a full range of courses, including physics and calculus, iLumenEd also offers logic in both middle and high school, study skills, personal finance, and fine arts, as well as health and fitness.
    ... “We believe Christ is Lord over business, medicine, mathematics, history, science, etc. We work to help our students understand God’s good design for every field of study, so they can take dominion of the earth and bend creation back toward God’s original design.” ...When asked to explain the differences between iLumenEd and other online programs, Pike shared that their live classes make them more engaging, and their instructors seek to disciple students.

    Classical Christian Schools See Enrollment Explode (Sep. 2023) - By Dan Hart - ...With 1.2 million students leaving public schools since 2020, many are enrolling in private schools, which have seen enrollment increase by 140,000 students since 2019. As a result, classical Christian schools have seen enrollment mushroom over the last three years. As David Goodwin, president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, told guest host Jody Hice during Monday’s edition of “Washington Watch,” classical education is about getting back to the basic building blocks of education that have already been established for centuries within the church.

    With Our Kids at Stake, There Is No Retreat from Here - By Tony Perkins ...So while some moms and dads may be tempted to think, “It’s not going to happen to my kids,” it’s time to wake up. This is coming — if it’s not already there — to your community. It’s coming for your children, your grandchildren. ...The time has come for parents to rise up and reclaim their rightful role. “This is the hill we have to die on,” Burt urged. “We cannot let them take our kids.” In other words, “There is no retreat from here.

    Public School Kids Are Learning About the Bible During School Day: Inside Innovative Program Bringing Children Closer to Christ - B y Billy Hallowell - Despite the ongoing debate over morals and values in public schools today, one organization is finding a way to bring Jesus to public school kids each and every week. With all the talk about issues between parents and America’s public schools, students across Pennsylvania are learning about Jesus and the Bible, thanks to the unique approach of Bible2School.
         Kori Pennypacker, the CEO of Bible2School, told CBN’s Faithwire, “Bible2School is a 40-year-old nonprofit organization and we equip parents, moms, dads, grandparents to teach the Bible to public school kids during their school day — that means typically over lunch and recess.” Kids are bussed to churches or other locations during these periods to learn Bible lessons before heading back to their public school classroom. Remarkably, Pennypacker says this program is where a majority of the students learn about Jesus.
         “There is something called the Release Time Court Rulings, and this was from back in 1914, when the Bible actually used to be a reader in school,” Pennypacker said. “Everybody had one. Think ‘Little House on the Prairie.’ And then, around that time period, early 18- or 19-hundreds, they took the Bible out of school, but they had these release time rulings that said you can release kids from school, maybe one hour a day; different in different states, at different times. But you can release kids from school. They have to be offsite, they have to have parental permission, and it has to cost a taxpayer no money, so no tax dollars.”
         “We’re teaching other people how to do this around the country, so we are teaching moms, dads to build teams,” she said. “It’s a community approach in their school district. We teach them how we have curriculum. We have everything they need. We have a toolbox. We have everything they need and we teach them how to do this in their own school district.”

    How Parents Can Help Stop America’s Rise in Violence - By Kathy Athearn - ...Presbyterian New Testament scholar and educator J. Gresham Machen said, “A public school system, if it means the providing of free education for those who desire it, is a noteworthy and beneficent achievement of modern times; but when once it becomes monopolistic it is the most perfect instrument for tyranny which has yet been devised.” As parents, school board members, teachers, and community members we need to help our children recognize and oppose Marxism and return to the democratic ideals protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.
         Machen also said, “The most important Christian education institution is not the pulpit or the school, important as those institutions are; but it is the Christian family.” Parents, we can prevent our children from being indoctrinated by Marxist ideology by:
         o Teaching the truth about America’s history and how our country has been working from its very beginning to become a “more perfect union.” We have come a long way at improving relationships between races, sexes, and cultures, thanks in part to the leadership of Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
         o Teaching our children that God has created each human being in His image, and we should treat each other as such — no matter how much we may disagree. We should live out what Jesus taught: truly loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
         o Visiting the website of our friends Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker at Just Thinking Ministries. They have a tremendous amount of educational materials that you can share with your children.
         o Reading “America: The Last Best Hope” by William J. Bennett together. Dr. Bennett teaches the history of America from its beginning in a thorough and honest light.
         o Using curriculum from 1776 Unites, Prager University resources, Dr. Ben Carson’s “Little Patriots” curriculum, and resources by Natasha Crain and Elizabeth Urbanowicz.
         o Reading Brave Books together, including Kirk Cameron’s book, “As You Grow.”
    A Christian actor and author, Cameron said in a recent interview with Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch,” “If we don’t stand for the basic building blocks of the family and the distinction between male and female, what will we stand for? And if we won’t stand for the responsibility to protect the hearts and minds of our children — of our toddlers, then when will we ever stand?” Christians, let’s not stand on the sidelines of the public square and complain about what is happening in our schools and society. Instead, let’s take action and transform our culture for His glory.
