Public Schools: Petri Dishes of ‘Progressive’ Propaganda and Perversion
The combined agendas of the progressive left elites and the secularist movement for our children through our schools is outrageous. It’s a scandal and a complete moral perversion and deviance from what our founding fathers intended. They are using LGBTQ political agendas along with weakening girls sports, CRT. Socialism, and the 1619 project to poison the minds of our youth in our communities. We must fight this in our schools and state legislatures as well as school boards. London county Va. is a great example of kids, parents, and some teachers taking a stand for what is right. We must fight these fights and in areas they can’t be won we must resort to parent oriented charter schools, right minded private schools, and home schooling in order to pass truth to our kids and prevent the poisoning of the minds of the next generation.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A survey of 40 premiere universities revealed shocking statistics on the Republican-Democratic makeup of faculties. Registered progressive Democrats outnumbered traditional Republicans by about 20 to 1. From college to culture, students go forth into teaching, journalism and media.
Today’s woke worldview infiltrates through many of our teachers, principals and administrators. You probably have concerns about some of the things you’ve discovered are being taught. Is it any wonder that homeschooling has surged in six months from 5.4% to 11% (U.S. Census Bureau)? It’s not just because of COVID!
My wife and I made the change decades ago when homeschooling was novel and have never regretted it! Today our adult children are informed influencers making a difference in their respective fields. Sometimes you have to lower your standard of living to improve your quality of life.
There are other Christ-honoring educational alternatives. There is too much at stake and little margin for error when it comes to your children’s future.
Martin Luther’s mandate
The titan of the millennium, Martin Luther, not only triggered the world-shaking Reformation, he targeted the priority of Christian education.
“I am much afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the hearts of youth,” Luther said. “I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which means are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must be corrupt.”
Radical leftists in the Biden administration and activist organizations scoff at such a statement. The chilling reality: “Progressive” elites are controlling and changing curriculum in education. They are cleverly maneuvering to shape the thinking of a generation.
Organized and on the prowl
Here are 12 organizations injecting their ideology into instruction and assignments in your child’s classroom:
- Chiefs for Change
- National Education Association
- American Civil Liberties Union
- Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network
- Black Lives Matter at School
- American Federation of Teachers
- Southern Poverty Law Center
- Human Rights Campaign(LGBTQ)
- The 1619 Project (revising our history)
- Teaching for Change
- National Association of School Boards
- Critical Race Theory activist groups
We don’t have the luxury to assume things are basically as they were when we went to school. Children are like wet cement, and the enemy works aggressively to deceive and destroy their lives.
I highly recommend you read “Schools Under Siege” by Meg Kilgannon of the Family Research Council to grasp the gravity of this issue. Meg issues a red alert: “Even in many conservative communities, schools are enclaves of liberal orthodoxy. Radical thinking makes it very difficult for education officials to recognize dangers in the latest academic trends.”
Queer theory and Critical Race Theory
Meg lays out how the teaching of “Queer theory” and “Critical Race Theory” is undermining children in schools across America today. CRT and sex education is not simply raising awareness for better race relations and healthy sexuality.
Encyclopedia Britannica gives a clear definition of CRT:
“Critical Race” theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites and especially African-Americans.
Whites are “oppressors” and blacks are “oppressed,” with color not character empowering all relationships. Five hundred activated parents just flooded a Virginia school board meeting, resulting in a 7–0 decision to block all CRT.
Already 23 states have banned CRT teaching in schools. Additionally, Nebraska defeated LGBTQ activists and honored parents’ outcry blocking indoctrination of children (as young as kindergarten) in same-gender family propaganda.
Healthy human sexuality?
In the state of Washington, an elementary school teacher was discovered indoctrinating first-graders with an LGBTQ agenda. The teacher read a book written by a trans-identified reality TV star telling her story of becoming transgender and encouraging children to embrace the lifestyle.
In New York, a “Health and Wellness” educator used cartoonish material to explain self-stimulation and other sexual topics in depth. Sexually explicit curriculum provoked a parent to say, “We are in fact seeing very clearly for the first time what a ‘progressive’ education really means at our school.”
I’ve obtained two books used in many public schools, “It’s Perfectly Normal” (more than 1 million copies in print) and “It’s Elementary – Talking About Gay Issues in School.” They are graphic, unbiblical propaganda perverting young children today. Because this is a family-friendly commentary I’ll be restrained describing the abominable material.
“Whoever misleads one of these little ones who believe in Me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung about his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).
The progressive left
I’ve been involved in vocational ministry for almost 50 years and have never witnessed such brazen activity. I’m not encouraging escapism but engaged, responsible parenting! One day we will give account.
A nationally known senior leader told me recently, “The biggest mistake I’ve made in my life was placing my children in the public schools.” Like young plants nurtured in a greenhouse until they’re strong, so too with our developing sons and daughters.
Children from ages 6 to 10 don’t have critical thinking skills, and they basically believe everything their adult teacher says, including this pernicious indoctrination. Example: “Our premise is that America was founded on and continues promoting RACISM (and if you disagree, you’re a RACIST!).”
The progressive left is working for three goals:
- Convey the idea that our Founding Fathers were evil white supremacists intending America be free from religion – separated by a “wall between church and state” – so any religious influence in schools must be silenced (distortion of Jefferson’s phrase).
- Convey the idea that the origins of our country came not from Judeo-Christian principles but rather from the ideas of a mishmash of agnostics, deists, atheists and opportunists who came here for material gain.
- Convince the masses that traditional America must be dismantled, our history rewritten and replaced with a new socialist system of strong government control over our lives from cradle to grave (being advanced by Biden administration currently).
Repentance, revival and reformation
If you have been passive or preoccupied with the cares and comforts of life, it’s time to repent and participate in a revival and societal reformation to preserve our faith, families and freedoms. America has been the guardian of liberty for the world and ground zero for communicating the gospel to the nations. We will not capitulate to those who are trying to poison a generation with their propaganda in our schools.
The Mayflower Compact stated the reason our forefathers came to this nation was “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.”
The constitutions of all of the original 13 colonies acknowledged God and mandated scriptural education in the public schools. The textbook used by nearly every public school student was the McGuffey Readers, which said, “The Scriptures are especially designed to make us wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.”
Here’s the deal: Harvard’s 1636 Student Guideline stated, “Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life and therefore to lay Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.”
May we consecrate ourselves to this end as we protect and pray for our children.
“O Lord, revive your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of these years make them known; in wrath remember mercy” (Habakkuk 3:2).
Larry Tomczak ... ah yes, the spanking priest ... what are his other qualifications?
So, I picked one out of the list, "Bullseye Challenge". Tomczak is a danger to sanity, humanity and worst of all boring, a sin that no one forgives.
I looked at that video too. You are right, it is boring, but I was also distracted by his cross eyes and apparent missing teeth. I also don't give a hoot about Ellen deGeneres.
I think I wasted my time. I should stop doing that.
What did it tell you about the topic of the seeded article he wrote?
I'm going to tell you something, an author and his/her works are inseparable and especially so when in this case both are insufferable. If you have a problem with that, make a complaint.
Why I am not surprised that the source is not mainstream in any way shape or form?
It's mainstream in the Topeka State Hospital.
The author and his life works are simply awesome and right on. What he wrote in his most recent article is exactly right. The fight for our schools and what is taught in them is on.
In other words it’s how the biased closed minded bigots there typically rate Christian conservative sites in general. No surprise at all considering the lack of objectivity that rating scam outfit has towards its twin enemies conservatives and Christians.
You're promoting a pervert/pedophile who was accused of sexually assaulting a girl and then a woman for over 20 years?
Define "mainstream" for us?
No need, the League of Women Voters keeps tabs on every publication and broadcast leaning on a variety of fact checkers every year to publish charts like these
nationally
California is a bit different
Michigan
What a ridiculous chart. Notice how differently they treat Fox compared to CNN and MBFC. Everything on the left is rated less bad and less extreme than all their conservative counterparts. I am glad that virtually every news and opinion site I use to get news and to seed from is in their badge of honor red box.
CNN spent 5 yrs under trump spreading nothing but bs about him and they wonder why their ratings are shit and no one with any sense believes a word they say.
Well said.
Yes, how many other charts would you like that don't have CNN or Fox at the apex of the chart?
Clue: It will never happen.
But generally. this is representative of OBJECTIVE rational rankings by almost everyone.
Unless they live in the mythical state of Jefferson, naturally...
Just saying
So really, what does it have to do with the price of gas or cheese in China?
FOX sucked Trump's dick for 5 years and lead all ratings. Trump lost an election.
CNN taunted Trump for 5 years and lost half their ratings. Trump lost an election.
Seems that voters made the final decision,
not based on either networks' propaganda.
That's part of the very definition of democracy.
You are welcome.
For what?
Faux 'news' is branded as entertainment - not NEWS.
Not a word of truth to be found there or on Faux 'news'.
For the truth - something that isn't found here.
Fox News, NewsMaxTV, and Town Hall are the truth.
Blindly following trusted sources is an excellent way to know something that is not actually true.
That’s why I don’t watch the network alphabet channels or CNN or MSNBC. They rarely get anything right.
Yup, you are not telling us anything new; pretty sure the entire site already knew that. You limit yourself to your trusted sources and blindly accept what they tell you to believe. Conformist behavior.
That is how confirmation bias is maintained.
How is it ridiculous, when they aren’t really counterparts?
The important thing to note is that the sources commonly used at NV, and all over Facebook, and somewhat less often here at NT are rated “unfair interpretation of the news”, or “nonsense damaging to public discourse”. Those include Huffpo, The Daily Kos, Alternet, Palmer Report, Buzzfeed, and Occupy Democrats. So feel free to point that out when such sources are used. Of course they also include Daily Wire, Daily Caller, Newsmax, Breitbart and Infowars, so best not to use such sources if one wishes to be taken seriously.
CNN’s fall from grace to the “unfair interpretation of the news”, is also interesting. I suggest starting with the AP or Reuters first for a less bias look at the news and then if one feels it is necessary to consider other opinions about the news one can look at those lower on the chart but at least be honest about the bias/bent and check out both left and right sides as you descend on the chart. Local news reports such at Border Report, or scientific journals or trade publications are also good sources of factual information not tainted by partisan rhetoric/bias.
And the League of Women voters should be way over on the left.
Thanks anyway, but I don't depend on progressive organizations to tell me what is fact/fiction.
Me either . I dismiss them out of hand. Since we have to use MBFC I like sites that are “questionable” to them and as close to the arrow tip as possible. Just because MBFC doesn’t like them doesn’t mean that they are not mainstream conservative news/opinion sites.
and there are many similar charts by Marketplace, Ad Fontes Media, Forbes and Real Clear Science.
Charts like this are important for advertisers.
Here's one specially for you from the Real Clear Group.
Indeed. As are they important for folks like us who blog and discuss matters in the news so that we can avoid looking like a fool for citing a source that is unreliable or even somewhat unreliable. Although, I would like to think that most folks could read these sources and detect a strong bias bent, without consulting a chart like this, and at least think to themselves, "Hmmmm. Before I quote this, perhaps I should do my due diligence and check other sources as well."
That is not to say that some of those sources could get something right on occasion that can indeed be corroborated by other sources. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The Real Clear Group is a right wing group that sometimes posts material from non right wingers. I would not consider a chart produced by them to be sufficiently unbiased to be taken all that seriously.
The other name mentioned as producing the chart, the American Council On Science and Health is a group that has a history of promoting the safety of various petrochemicals and defending the industry from consumer criticism.
Neither would I.
However they put infowars where every other chart has them
in spite of glaring omissions like AP, ABC, CBS, Reuters, Forbes, Bloomberg etc?
I guess they never cover science, eh?
Well you should consider it, because whoever you use now is abysmally wrong most of the time.
Thanks for the endorsement of all the people and groups mentioned above.
I hate info wars. They are primarily why two of my left of center relatives will never get vaccinated . They liked his version of populism on this and some economic issues and turn him on every time I talk to them about getting the vaccine.
You haven’t been to real clear science?
Well, he is a court proven liar.
In 1983, Tomczak paid $150,000 to settle a lawsuit for repeatedly slandering psychiatrist Thomas Anthony Harris and his wife, Amy, authors of the best-seller I'm O.K. - You're OK..
And that was only 38 years ago….
Is 2013 more acceptable?
Of course the lawsuit is against Larry and his ministry for 20 years of corporal punishment against 8 people.
He sells books about corporal punishment too.
Just another millionaire Evangelist grifter.
Is there an expiration date on lying?
I forgot to say that Larry apparently enjoyed spanking young women's bare buttocks
under the guise of God teaching them a lesson or forty lessons...
Creepy liar.
So over the last 8.5 years what was the final results of all that litigation to him and his personal actions?
So everyone of us who has ever done that in their life is forever tainted by it and it overshadows everything done before and since?
Yes.
This was not a little white lie, this was a lie, repeated time and time again, with the pure intent to do harm to another.
So, yes. He is forever tainted by it.
Sounds like he probably jerked off while he spanked those young women's bare buttocks.
I certainly wasn't there.
The original case was apparently dropped due to favorable statutes of limitations in Maryland.
If it had been the Catholic Church with deeper pockets to cover all of the lawyers expenses
it would probably still be going on.
Praise Jesus. /s
Says the classy christian gentleman who incessantly calls Harris a 'ho' because her boyfriend Willie Brown opened doors for her 25 years ago and who has ignored her professional career successes since. (I do not even like Harris.)
"Says the classy christian gentleman who incessantly calls Harris a 'ho' because her boyfriend Willie Brown opened doors for her 25 years ago and who has ignored her professional career successes since. (I do not even like Harris.)"
It's so ignorant and other morons say even worse.
I have asked you , many times, to answer questions about your distorted history of the United States and you have not answered any of them.
That is because you rarely if ever know what you are talking about. You are an adult who knows very little about American history but you want to complain about teachers.
I know about it. My AA degree and the bulk of my 4 yr. degree is in history. I deleted foreign language required for a BA in History and replaced it with Economics, Psychology, and Sociology, and a BS in Social Science. Disagreeing with you is not a lack of knowledge on my part
When are you going to display any of that knowledge?
Your lack of understanding American history as displayed on this forum has been appalling.

The Family Research Council are know nothing teabaggers
They know a lot of really great factual information. They are an awesome pro traditional family Christian group that takes the literalist position on sexual behaviors, marriage, traditional nuclear families, and life. Their positions on all these issues and mine are largely one and the same. I’m proud and wear with a badge of honor the wrong and inflammatory libelous SPLC label that group has and wear it with pride as mine.
They aren't shit. They're right wing paid shills. They don't know dick.
They're a racist hateful organization .
No they are not.
YES THEY ARE
What a pile of shit!
I would be embarrassed to seed something that said this.
I would be embarrassed to post any of the garbage that some post. Some folks have no shame whatsoever. Just ignorance.
Secular progressives need to stop their efforts to pervert our schools with their propaganda.
That's what the family research council is - perverse propagandists.
The Family Research Council is a great group of awesome Christian Americans who defend core American traditional values and the nuclear family. They take stands to defend the family, the church, and the nation. I am proud to stand tall with the Family Research Council as well as the American Family association and Concerned women for America and Alliance Defending Freedom as great organizations that I stand with and endorse in the totality of their missions. Ideologically and theologically I am them and they are me.
Don't parents teach their kids anything any longer? Parents have more influence over their own children than the social engineers want people to believe.
IMO there's not a more effective way to revive the worst aspects of racism than what is happening in schools today. Parents will teach their own lessons to their own children. And those lessons won't be flattering or permissive or liberal.
CRT isn't being taught in public schools, or any others.
