The government education system is corrupted and too far gone to be reformed. What little that is taught about our founding history is fiction used to indoctrinate naïve, impressionable students. Most young victims are failing in other subjects, as well.
The founders were convinced that if schools failed to teach students to be Biblically moral and upright the republic would not survive. Today, many dishonest or ignorant teachers deny the Christian mooring of our nation.
However, the Bible was found to have directly contributed to 34% of the Founding Fathers’ quotes. A review was done of 15,000 items written by the founders such as newspaper articles, pamphlets, books, monographs etc. The other main sources quoted by the founders were Montesquieu, Blackstone, Locke, and Pufendorf who themselves took 60% of their quotes directly from the Bible. Direct and indirect links combined reveal that nearly all of the Founding Fathers’ quotes were based in the Bible.
In 1740 England, Thomas Dilworth published his schoolbook, the ‘New Guide to the English Tongue.’ Due to his reputation as a distinguished educator and textbook writer his book also grew in popularity in America until 1765 when it was adopted for use in all of America’s New England schools.
The book contained spelling, reading, and grammar lessons all utilizing Bible passages. The first lesson of words of three letters or less contained the following sayings:
“No Man may put off the Law of God. The Way of God is no ill Way. My Joy is in God all the Day. A bad Man is a Foe to God.”
Noah Webster, known as the “Schoolmaster to America” used only Dilworth’s book and the Bible in his earliest school. However, many American schools today promote a disdain of Christ and mock children from faith families, more so than even in God-denying Communist countries.
Now, families must sue schools to protect their children from sexual perversion and other nonsensical propaganda. A high school senior of mixed ethnicity is suing a taxpayer-funded charter school in Nevada over the “coercive, ideological indoctrination” that is central to its Critical Race Theory curriculum. The training forces students to associate aspects of their identity with oppression.
Plaintiffs William Clark and his mother Gabrielle Clark claim their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were being violated. Students were told that by refusing to identify with an oppressive group, they were exercising their privilege or underscoring their role as an oppressor.
Clark, a student at Democracy Prep School in Las Vegas, whose mother is black and deceased father white, claims there was a hostile classroom environment and that he felt discriminated against in the mandatory, year-long “Sociology of Change” course required for graduation. There is another required class, “Change the World,” in which students carry out a political or social work project.
“The Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory sessions were not descriptive or informational in nature, but normative and prescriptive: they require pupils to ‘unlearn’ and ‘fight back’ against ‘oppressive’ structures allegedly implicit in their family arrangements, religious beliefs and practices, racial, sexual, and gender identities, all of which they are required to divulge and subject to non-private interrogation.”
William was directed “in class to ‘unlearn’ the basic Judeo-Christian principles [his mother] imparted to him, and then [the school] retaliated against [him].”
“Some racial, sexual, gender and religious identities, once revealed, are officially singled out in the programming as inherently problematic, and assigned pejorative moral attributes by Defendants,” the complaint said.
The complaint also indicated that Clark was required by his teacher “to reveal his racial, sexual, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities and religious identities.” The instructor greeted the students with, “Hello my wonderful social justice warriors!” Clark was told the next step would be to determine if parts of his identity “have privilege or oppression attached to it.” Privilege was defined as “the inherent belief in the inferiority of the oppressed group.”
While the Clark’s suit is a positive sign the best approach is for parents to get their kids out of these indoctrination camps yesterday. Jesus asked, “Can one blind person lead another? Won’t they both fall into a ditch?” The school system is in the ditch.
