In Christ, "...are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3)."  Education is not a neutral proposition.  Our premise of education will reflect two stark approaches.  Either children will be raised with the vain philosophies of men and their deceits, traditions, and rudiments of the world or they will be educated by the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of their Creator, who died and rose again for their redemption.

 

Christians in America have not taken heed to God's word and have turned their lambs over to wolves to educate in Humanistic Temples that indoctrinate them contrary to the truth of God's Word.  As a result, 85 % of Christian young, raised in Christian homes, and attend Christian churches renounce their faith by their first year in college.  Their bodies may be in our pews, but their souls belong to another.

 

As horrific as this may seem, the agenda to capture your children to make them "two-fold sons of hell" is increasing (Matthew 23:15).  Pay close attention to this letter to the editor and get your children back home with you where they belong.  They are not children of Caesar and wards of the state.  They are God's children and parents are God's stewards to raise them in the fear and admonishment of the Lord (Ephesians 6:1-4).

 

"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"

The following is a letter to the Editor which appeared in the Cape May County (NJ) Herald Feb. 17. It is reprinted here with the permission of its author, Cathy Driscoll of Villas, NJ.

To The Editor: "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world" wrote William Ross Wallace back in 1865. When committed, loving parents rock the cradle, freedom flourishes. When the state is allowed to rock that cradle, evil follows. Tyrants need thugs and wimps. This "ideal" population is produced by controlling the rearing of children. George Orwell's "Animal Farm" illustrates the brutal way the sheep dog is robbed of her puppies. Once confiscated, the puppies become trained bullies and useful enforcers.

Hitler saw children as "clean slates" on which barbarism could be written, but only if they are removed from the influences of their parents. Kitty Werthmann, a living witness to life under the Nazi boot, describes how pre-Hitler Austria abounded with compassionate and respectful youth. Post Hitler brought hideous changes. Public school teachers encouraged the children to disregard their parents' "fuddy-duddy" ways. Mandatory Youth Day was designated on Sundays. Parents who took their children to church instead of youth day faced capital punishment. By firmly holding the children in their hands, Nazis successfully paved the road to the Holocaust.

What has happened here in the last several decades? Parents are afraid to discipline their children in public. Records are withheld from parents because of "privacy rights." My husband was at the doctor recently and he was not allowed to be in the examination room with our own child without a doctor or nurse present. We were at a swim meet back in November and parents were actually barred from going to the changing rooms with their own children. My husband and I questioned those in charge of the meet on this policy. These officials reasoned that children needed to learn to be on their own. These adults took it upon themselves to disregard the authority of the parents.

Step by step our government has morphed from respecting parents' rights to dismantling them. Do you want this to continue turning from a snowball into an avalanche?

Let's say that you think that you won't be affected by this trend; you don't plan to ever have children or you have raised your children and are done with this job. First of all, are you so bereft of compassion that you can stand by and allow your fellow citizens to face the forced loss of their children? Secondly, if society is full of parentless thugs, who do we think will come to our rescue when we are old and helpless?

The Parental Rights Amendment, if ratified, will seal protections for parents. It states the following: Section 1: The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right. Section 2: Neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served. Section 3: No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.
