Today’s woke worldview infiltrates through many of our teachers, principals and administrators. You probably have concerns about some of the things you’re discovering 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!
The titan of the millennium, Martin Luther, not only triggered the world-shaking Reformation but also 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. 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.
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. There is too much at stake and little margin for error when it comes to your children’s future.
I highly recommend you read Schools Under Seige 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. She lays out how the teaching of queer theory and critical race theory is undermining children in schools across America today.
I’ve been involved in vocational ministry for almost 50 years and never witnessed such brazen activity. I’m not encouraging escapism but engaged, responsible parenting! One day we will give account.
Children from 6-10 don’t have critical thinking skills plus basically believe everything their adult teacher says, including this pernicious indoctrination.
“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” (Matt. 18:6).
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.
— Convey the idea that the origins of our country came not from Judeo-Christian adherence but rather 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 (currently being advanced by the Biden administration).
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 constitutions of all the original 13 Colonies acknowledged God and mandated scriptural education in the public schools. 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” (Hab. 3:2b).
