Education?
| 2007 NEA Without allowing members to vote on the matter, the executive committee of the National Education Association (NEA) decided to advance aggressively the homosexual agenda. The decision was made at the association's 2007 annual meeting in Philadelphia. First, the committee voted to put the weight of the NEA behind an effort to pass federal hate crimes legislation, a measure that would greatly expand federal power and lead to the silencing of moral opposition. Second, the executive committee voted to boost the NEA's Web site to "include all resources" devoted to homosexual causes. The third resolution urged NEA members to push to make sexual orientation training a requirement for earning a license to teach. |
| "We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause." Horace Mann father of American public schools, 1859 |
| "Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?" C.F. Potter in Humanism:A New Religion, 1930 original signer of the Humanist Manifesto |
| "I think the most important factor leading us to a secular society has been the education factor. Our school may not teach Johnny to read properly, but the fact that Johnny is in school until he is 16 tends to lead toward the elimination of religious superstition. The average child now acquires a high school education, and this militates against Adam and Eve and all other myths of alleged history." Paul Blanshard, liberal author in The Humanist, 1976 |
| "I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classrooms by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the rotting corpse of Christianity and the resplendent new faith of humanism...But humanism will emerge triumphant." John Dumphy in The Humanist, 1983 |

A policy analyst at the Family Research Council is expressing concern that proposed sex-education standards for the Washington, DC, public school system are supportive of the homosexual lifestyle and subject children to mature subject matter at very young ages. For example, under the draft standards, sixth-grade students would be taught that same-sex attractions are normal. |
July 2007 The Maryland State Board of Education ruled in favor of a sex-ed program in Montgomery County that affirms homosexuality, transgenderism, and teen condom use. In the 17-page opinion, the state panel said it would not "second-guess the appropriateness" of the curriculum. It also claimed that the right of parents to control their children's upbringing "is not absolute" and "must bend to the state's duty to educate its citizens |
| The ACLU is calling on the Duval County School Board to adopt a new student speech policy to prevent future recurrences of religious expression at commencement in light of a recent valedictory address at Wolfson High School in Jacksonville Florida.

| Michigan student suspended for wearing 'I'm straight' sticker A Christian student has been punished by his Michigan high school for demonstrating opposition to a school event celebrating the homosexual lifestyle. The boy's father, a pastor, says he's frustrated the rights of Christian students are being constantly trampled on campus. |
rages today throughout North America. Two sides with vastly differing and incompatible world views are locked in a bitter conflict that permeates every level of society...Childeren are the prize to the winners...Those who control what the young people are taught and what they experience- what they see, hear, think and believe- will determine the future course of the nation" Dr James Dobson |

| Parents slam vulgar school reading ReligionAndSpirituality.com August 28, 2007 Parents of children in an Aslip, Ill. school district complained that books assigned to 12- and 13-year-olds to read over the summer are laced with profanity and references to teen sex, including teen sex with adults. Parents discoverd that three of the six books given as summer reading choices to 8th graders contain adult content that is highly age-inappropriate. At a recent school board meeting, however, school board members said they intend to continue assigning the books, Christian Newswire reported Tuesday. One of the books, Fat Kid Rules the World, by K. L. Going, has 110 pages containing the F-word and other profanities, and multiple crude sexual references. Yet the school did not warn children or their parents about the adult content "Whatever happened to classics like Robinson Crusoe or Uncle Tom's Cabin?" asked Concerned Women for America (CWA) Policy Director for Cultural Issues Matt Barber in a recent column. "Why can't schools choose books that teach values in the context of great literature? Instead, they are requiring middle school children to read sub-par writing littered with lewd behavior and speech. "It's unconscionable that educators would contribute to the moral degradation of 12- and 13-year-olds by pushing this kind of vulgarity on them. It amounts to educational malpractice, and School District 126 should have its mouth washed out with soap." |
“Fundamentalist parents have no right to indoctrinate their children in their beliefs. We are preparing their children for the year 2000 and life in a global one-world society and those children will not fit in.” Sen. Paul Hoagland, Nebraska.. From a speech to the National Education Association (NEA) [emphasis added] “The schools cannot allow parents to influence the kind of values-education their children receive in school; … that is what is wrong with those who say there is a universal system of values. Our [humanistic] goals are incompatible with theirs. We must change their values.” Paul Haubner, specialist for the NEA |

Christ-filled education . . . “I would claim that Christian schooling is not about running or hiding from-- rather it is about embracing and pursuing the mind of Christ. It is about pursuing the real understanding of what it means to be salt and light, about transformation by the renewing of the mind. It is about the development of fruitful bearers of the image of Christ in a world gone bland with its salt-less- ness; a world staggering in an abundance of darkness where the light has been all but snuffed out.” Association of Christian Schools Int'l |
the only divine rule of life, and the result will be most lamentable. An education purely secular is the handmaiden of godless skeptics." C.H. Spurgeon |
"What's clear...from the creation onward, is that God's rule extends to everything. From bank accounts to our business dealings to our educational curriculum to our social justice issues to our political choices in the voting booth- everything must reflect the fact that God's righteous rule extends to all of life...In obedience to this mandate, we must affirm that truth involves all of life and then define and teach a Christian world-view"

"Since Christ is the One in whom all wisdom and knowledge are found, He must be preeminent in the total education of our children. If the education we give our children leaves Christ out, they will be hindered from entering His rest. If this is happening, can we claim to be educating them according to God's plan?" Glen Schultz in Kingdom Education |
"The Christian school must not be education dressed up for church. It must be the church armed for intellectual battle." Albert Mohler, Southern Theological Seminary |
"I am most afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the home Scriptures, and engraving them in the hearts of the youth. Every institution in which men are not unceasingly occupied with the Word of God must be corrupt."
