We the People

Parents have become the enemy of the deep state.  We are opposing the perverse indoctrination of our kids.  From perverting traditional values to changing the culture, to CRT, 1619 project, questionable literature and books, bio men in girls rooms, we are the resistance.  A great way to improve the lives of our youth all across America is to send our kids to school with their Bibles. This day and meet me at the flag pole are two days a year to bring kids together be they public, private, home school students in order to express and share hope.  As long as these events are student led, others can take part in them.  This is important to combat the growing influence of militant secularism infecting our population like a pernicious disease inflicted upon our exceptional nation. Now the militant secularists and the bicoastal progressive elites are making us heartland parents enemies of the state. 


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



With all the ominous things taking place in America – and there are certainly quite a few – perhaps none is more ominous than this: Parents are being demonized. Moms and dads have become the enemy. It is now the government (or the education system) vs. those entrusted with raising the next generation. How on earth did this happen? We have certainly come a long way from the days of Father Knows Best – a very long way.

Back in the 1960s, when the generation gap grew large as a result of the counterculture revolution, young people viewed their parents as out of touch, out of step, and out of style. But that was the view of the kids, not the view of the state (or of “the system”). Parental authority remained firmly ensconced when it came to the education of their children.

But that authority has been increasingly challenged in recent decades, with schools hosting GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) clubs, where kids can “come out” to their peers, counselors, and teachers, without their parents knowing. Or where objectionable curricula can be taught at the teacher’s discretion, without parental notification, from K-12.

One mother told me that, without her or her husband’s knowledge, their 16-year-old daughter’s school was about to announce publicly that their daughter was now “he,” with a new name and a new set of pronouns. The parents only found out because they happened to meet with her daughter’s teachers the night before the announcement was planned, having been concerned about the negative influence the school was having on their daughter. How can this be? Who gave the public school system such rights?

Something has been brewing under the surface for some time now, and today, it has reached the boiling point. And the more that parents learn what is really going on, the more they are taking a stand. (For a recent, shocking example of gay porn in a school library, defended by the Library Director, something that is hardly uncommon, see  here .)

The line must be drawn in the sand. If not now, then when?

Back in 2013, atheist biologist Richard Dawkins spoke out against parents “forcing” their religious beliefs on their children – in other words, he spoke out against raising them in the faith.

He  said , “What a child should be taught is that religion exists; that some people believe this and some people believe that.”

Yes, he opined, “Forcing a religion on your children is as bad as child abuse.” And he added, “There is a value in teaching children about religion. You cannot really appreciate a lot of literature without knowing about religion. But we must not indoctrinate our children.”

He followed this up in an interview in 2015, speaking together with physicist Lawrence Krauss at Trinity College in Dublin. 

As  reported by the Independent, Dawkins “called on schools to protect children from being indoctrinated by their religious parents.”

In his words, “There is a balancing act and you have to balance the rights of parents and the rights of children and I think the balance has swung too far towards parents.” Really? The balance has swung too much towards parents?

He continued, “Children do need to be protected so that they can have a proper education and not be indoctrinated in whatever religion their parents happen to have been brought up in.”

Krauss, himself an atheist as well, agreed with Dawkins, saying, “That means parents have a limited — it seems to be — limited rights in determining what the curriculum is.”

In his view, “The state is providing the education, it’s trying to make sure all children have equal opportunity. And parents of course have concerns and a say, but they don’t have the right to shield their children from knowledge.”

Sorry about that, moms and dads. The state knows best. Stay out of the way!

And if some lawmakers in California  have their way , you will be told to stay out of the way when it comes to your child’s own health, with children as young as 12 forced to receive the COVID-19 vaccination if they want to remain in school.

I ask again: how on earth did this happen?

Perhaps more shocking still was the  recent announcement from the Department of Justice that parents who spoke against their school’s attempt to indoctrinate their children with radical race ideology could be viewed as “domestic terrorists” guilty of “hate speech.” This was now a matter for the FBI.

As  expressed by Matt Walsh, “Leftist activists can come to your house with bullhorns. Film you in the bathroom. Loot your business. Burn police stations. The FBI does nothing. 

“But if conservative parents raise their voices at a school board meeting, they’re hunted down as terrorists.

“The law is dead.”

As for those parents who actually made threats against school board members, administrators, or teachers, something that is unacceptable and unjustifiable, why is this a matter for the FBI? And how on earth does this make these overzealous parents “domestic terrorists”?

The bad news is that things are going from bad to worse.

The good news is that, with tens of millions of parents in America, we can say no to these radical and destructive ideas. That doesn’t mean with threats of violence or intimidation, God forbid. But it does mean taking principled stands. And if enough parents will stand strong, others will follow.

Patrick Henry once said, “For good or for ill, the estate of the family will most assuredly predetermine the estate of all of the rest of the culture.”

Let’s resist this current attack on our families as if the future of our culture depended on it. It does.

On Thursday, Focus on the Family led its 8th annual “Bring Your Bible to School Day” as hundreds of thousands of Christian students were encouraged to share the Word of God with their classmates.

"This annual campaign empowers Christian students of all ages to speak God's grace and truth into the culture around them, starting with two simple steps — bringing their Bibles to school and sharing what God's Word means to them," Focus on the Family Program Manager Bret Eckelberry explained in a statement last week.

"It opens doors for students to talk to their friends about the gospel. It connects them with other believers in their school,” he continued. “And it allows them to celebrate their religious freedoms in the United States."

In a recent interview with The Christian Post , Focus on the Family's Vice President of Parenting and Youth Danny Huerta explained that the majority of participants are high school students or junior high school students, but students "all through college” can participate as well.

While it was too soon to tell whether more students participated in this year’s event than from last year, which had 514,000 participants, Huerta did note that registration for this year "surpassed last year's registration numbers."

"Our eventual goal is to get 1 million kids bringing their Bible to school or more," he continued. "It's basically just a starting point … for kids to maybe start Bible studies in their school, [or] pray together in their school."

Huerta stressed that students have "the freedom to bring their Bible to school in a public school setting as long as they're not disruptive in the school." Additionally, he pointed out that the best times for students to share the Word of God with others were before and after school as well as lunch and recess.

While students have previously faced opposition from school staff from sharing their faith, Huerta said that the Focus on the Family has referred parents and students to the religious liberty law firm Alliance Defending Freedom as a resource in the midst of adversity.

He hopes that the annual event can unite American students in “hope and love” amid the division seen across the world today.…

Can anyone bring a Torah or a Q'oran, or should they just not be included as "good" Americans?

"The  purpose  of the occasion is to have students "read and treasure Scripture as God's Holy Word, to encourage others with the hope we have in Christ Jesus, and to celebrate our religious freedoms in the United States.""

Or is it necessary for it to refer to "Christ" Jesus?

I’m sure that they could bring them if they like.  It’s a free country with freedom of religion.  

Why would feel constrained from referring to their source of salvation?

I don't think that either Jews or Muslims would even think of the word "salvation" - for me it means that "army" that stands on the street peaching to "save souls".  "Follow the fold."

No surprise that Jews were divided then.  Ari Ben Canaan, played by Paul Newman in the movie Exodus when speaking with Major Caldwell, played by Peter Lawford, said "Put 2 Jews together you've got an argument, and 3, a revolution."

So what you are trying to say is that if religion were allowed in schools there would be no violence?  If so, how do you explain the shootings in churches, synagogues and mosques?

3.1.6  seeder  XXJefferson51  replied to  Buzz of the Orient @3.1.5    4 years ago

Religion should not initiate any message or prayer in schools and neither should staff at a school.  It should always be initiated by the students or outsiders they bring in to speak to them.  There has been more bad things happening at public schools since 1962. This is why parents must be directly involved in their kids education and schools.

Tell me about it Buzz. What I saw at our school board meeting was the anti maskers getting their kids up there to literally yell at the school board. Whatever happened to teaching your kids to respect adults?

I also saw parents threatening the board, telling them they know where the school board members live, and that they were going to be personally sued. They were ill-behaved and nasty. There is footage of this (sadly we made the news) but now it is all on youtube.

btw, our school does not teach CRT, or 1619 project and no Long Island schools do, so I don't think this is an endemic issue.

Real violence or threats of it are rare and are ably dealt with locally by local law enforcement.  There is no need to bring in federal law enforcement agencies to a local matter.  I think many school boards and local teachers unions fear the local police will too often side with the parents.
