A 7-year-old in second grade came home and
said, "Mom, Dad, guess what! Our teacher read us the
funniest book. It was so silly. It was about a prince who
was getting married, but he didn't marry a princess. He married a
prince! Isn't that so silly, Mom?" The book read to
the confused child to introduce 7-year-olds to same-sex "marriage"
is King and King by Linda de Haan.
Without parental knowledge or consent, 5-year-old Jacob, entering
kindergarten, came home with a "diversity bookbag." Inside
was a book introducing kindergartners to same-sex households, celebrating
Clifford and her dad's "partner," Henry – selling homosexuality to
5-year-olds disguised as diversity. The book is Who's in a Family by Robert Skutch.
Folks, if my public school arrogantly usurped such authority when
I was a kid, my stocky little-over-five-foot black mom would have been
outraged. She'd march to my school and angrily confront the
principal: "Who do you people think you are? How dare you
take such liberty with my nine months?"
Please correct me if I am
wrong. But all I see is parents passively allowing leftists to mold
and shape students into their image. God commanded
parents: "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is
old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). Where is
the outrage over government usurping authority to dictate the morals,
principles, and values instilled in your child, overruling God-ordained
parental authority?
With leftists pushing over 70
genders and growing onto the mainstream, leftists are banning teachers from addressing students
as "boys and girls," calling the term mean-spirited and
non-inclusive.
Notice this tactic routinely used by leftists. While
Americans are minding their own business, leftists attack, pushing their
outrageous ideas on us while portraying themselves as victims of our
intolerance, hate, and aggression.
Whitney Houston was correct when she sang, "I believe
the children are our future." This is where the true battle for
America's future is being fought: in the hearts and minds of our
kids. A haven of rest, healing, and safety for parents and their
children is homeschooling.
This is why leftists are attacking, using government to
politically bomb these safe havens, hell-bent on making homeschooling illegal.
Homeschooling is far
superior to government indoctrination camps, obsessed with teaching social
justice, white guilt, gun control, homosexuality, abortion, and conspiring
against and disobedience toward parents.
Eighty-two percent of public schools are failing. Despite spending $1.4
billion annually, around $16,000 per student, reading proficiency rates for
Baltimore high school grads is around 11%, with 12% in math
proficiency. And yet, the Baltimore school system graduates around
70% of its students every year. In other words, a large number of
Baltimore's graduates can barely read their
diplomas.
Years ago, circumstances forced my brother and his wife to remove
their 10-year-old son from a private Christian school. Making the
adjustment into public school was stressful for their son. He was
hated for raising his hand too often, knowing the correct
answers. He was even bullied because of his posture, taught to sit
correctly in his chair. To survive, my nephew purposely dumbed down.
My black buddy was a Baltimore cop who headed city-sponsored
mentoring programs, youth choirs, and more. Ten years ago, he
retired and moved to Montana. He moved back to Baltimore three years
ago and was asked to resume working with youths. My buddy said that
seeing youths throwing rocks at police cars, hating cops, rioting, and no
officials willing to support real discipline, he wants nothing to do with
Baltimore's youth crisis. My Baltimore former cop buddy said he is
also soured by city officials' insane hatred for guns.
Leftists tend to share a bigotry of lowered expectations regarding
minorities. I argued with a Miami white middle school teacher who,
despite parent's objections, thought Hispanic students should not be forced to
learn English. I've read numerous biographies of immigrant celebs
who said learning English was crucial to their success in America.
In California, public schools pushed to allow black students to speak Ebonics
rather than be pressured to learn correct English.
Popular among home-schoolers is the VARK model theory, which
outlines four
kinds of learners. Some kids are visual
learners. There are auditory learners, reading-writing learners, and
kinesthetic learners. By understanding how your child processes
information, you can design a teaching program that is right for
him. This ain't happenin' in government school halls of mass mediocrity.
Meeting countless families with children in my ten years of
traveling as a political activist, I learned to immediately recognize
homeschooled children. They were happy, calm, polite, articulate,
filled with information, and confident, always looking me in the eye when
speaking to me.
Until parents get
their act together and begin taking back public education – running for school
boards, putting their feet down, and more – homeschooling is the way to
go. It's the best hope for America's future.
