Many Americans are asking the question about how they can make a difference and stop the anti-American trend that is engulfing our nation. One place is the local school. Most everyone who owns property pays a significant amount of taxes to support the public school system. And in days of old—not so long ago, really—each community had a large thumb-print on just how the local school was operated, what was taught and the type of teachers who were hired.

Nowadays, with both parents usually working to make ends meet, they have little time or energy to participate in one of the most important areas of their children’s lives—where their children spend a vast amount of their time—the public school.

There probably has been no other influence so life changing to this nation as that of the public school system. And if you are truly interested in changing the direction of this country, acting locally at the school is where you personally can have an impact. You pay, perhaps, thousands of dollars a year to support it and you can have a voice in what happens there.

For example, if parents would have stood firm and massed a strong voice against it, the Bisbee, Arizona School Board would have had a difficult time in 2008 voting to include condoms in the “prom bags” that were given to every student who attended the annual dance.

Or how about the Islamic public charter school in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota? That school, supported by public tax dollars, was an Islamic colonization school. It taught Arabic as a second language. It set aside an hour each day for Islamic prayers. It served only Halal approved food.

It practiced Islamic washing rituals and required students to remove shoes in certain rooms. And after hours, the TIZA school taught the Koran and busses did not arrive and children were not dismissed until after the Koran was taught. The school’s leaders didn’t fly the American flag; the Imam schoolmaster said he didn’t know how to operate the flag pole. Due to public outcry, the Minnesota Education Department shut down the school in July of 2011. Citizens can make a difference, but not without being armed with the facts, and a legal fight.

Not one penny of our tax dollars should ever support such efforts. But the National Education Association has brainwashed parents by having programs that support the schools and make parents think they are doing the right thing by participating in all their little do-gooder projects. In reality, these very same people are teaching our kids to be sexually immoral, to be anti-American, to be multi-cultural, and that every religion is fine except Judaism and Christianity.

Public schools are a big issue in the current decline and future direction of America. Ephesians 6:13 instructs us to “take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.”

Have you done all?  Are you standing?

In July 2007, there was an article in Time magazine called “Leveling the Praying Field.” The article described how the Democratic presidential candidates were all talking about faith and religion in an effort to gain back faith-based voters lost to the conservative right.

The article was laced with quotes from Hillary Clinton and others about being who you are and if faith is part of that, so be it.  But the problem with the Democratic Party’s version of faith is that it is twisted and deceptive. Their version of faith is just that—faith.  It doesn’t seem to matter whether you worship Christ, or God or gods or Buddha or Allah.

According to the story, faith is faith and all people of faith share the same values.

At the time, professing Christian, President George W. Bush erroneously and sinfully said that we all worship the same god and that there are different paths to God. There is nothing further from the truth. God is God.  He is the great I AM.  And He sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.

Jesus Christ says in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” That Son, Jesus Christ, said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior receive salvation. But politicians who support abortion, homosexuality, taking God out of the public square, evolution, promiscuity is normal and accepted, and the list goes on and on, are contradictory to everything of God because these things are sinful or promote sinful actions. And if their words are contradictory to the purpose of God, then so their hearts may also be the same. People of faith should hold in suspicion those politicians who support these sinful, anti-Godly principles, but all of a sudden get religion at election time.

A real time example of how the Democrats suddenly “got” religion was the support they showed for the first Muslim Congressman, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who has since become deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Or how about what happened in the then Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate for the first time in American history—a Hindu priest opened up the Senate in prayer.

He said “We meditate on the transcendental glory of the deity supreme who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky and inside the soul of the heaven.” The Senators present were silent as protestors shouted down the Hindu priest by quoting scripture. Ten years ago, I wrote, “These are deceptive people in deceptive times.” And the people and the times have become even more deceptive in the past decade.

​​​​​Have a blessed and powerful day!
