Parents, Listen Up!

This is no longer a nation where kids can be kids anymore. The secular humanists have seen to that. Children have been robbed of their innocence because liberals see them as fair game in their struggle to promote their anti-God agenda. Thanks to groups like the ACLU and People for the American Way, youngsters are literally inundated with sex and violence everywhere they turn. The barbarians are no longer at the door; they’ve kicked it down and have taken over the house.

“This is why we ought to continue fighting the culture war—restricting pornography and protecting marriage—because to do so is good for our society. But fighting these battles will help us in another way, as well. As Charles Krauthammer noted in Townhall.com, one of the reasons Islam is fighting ‘the great jihad’ against America has to do with sexual depravity. The jihadists claim that wherever freedom travels—‘especially in America and Europe—it brings sexual license and corruption, decadence and depravity.’” – Charles Colson

Here’s the important point: America has lost its moral compass and fallen into a pit of depravity, and the whole world knows it. If we’re going to emerge from the seemingly bottomless pit we’ve dug for ourselves and win the culture war, Christians have got to get busy. Our success depends on two factors. First, parents must instill in their children a Christian worldview on a variety of moral issues, from premarital sex and bearing babies out of wedlock, to gambling and drug use. Second, parents must address what’s going on in the government-run-institutions-of-indoctrination (otherwise known as public schools). Countless “progressive” teachers are stealthily implanting in student’s minds the idea of rejecting their parent’s values and adopting a leftist ideology. “The left,” says Melanie Morgan, “does not see education as you and I do, where young people develop critical thinking skills and learn how to make their own decisions. They see it as a training ground – like al-Qaida sees their training grounds – a place to indoctrinate young people into their own perverted view of the world.” <1> Case in point: A San Francisco high school principal invited activist Cindy Sheehan to “speak to the students about the evils of America's efforts to combat terrorism and to use her to rally students to oppose the fight against terrorism.”

Hard to believe that the principal of a taxpayer-funded school would invite a mouthpiece for the Left to spew anti-war rhetoric while no one in support of the war against terrorism was invited to speak to the students. This kind of thing is happening all over the country! Why are parents putting up with this sort of blatant brainwashing? Parents that disagree with these tactics must lock horns with the teachers that use their classrooms as a Leftist training ground and shout “Enough already!”
