Parental rights, decency out the window
A California pro-family group says lawmakers' decision to create a holiday in honor of an openly homosexual politician has dealt a detrimental blow to the state's school children.
In an email to SaveCalifornia.com, Deanna Aguire of Moreno Valley told the pro-family
organization that her daughter and students at Moreno Valley High School were forced to
attend a Gay-Straight Alliance rally in honor of the late San Francisco politician,
Harvey Milk. Aguire's daughter told the teacher she did not want to go to the rally
because she was a Christian, and only after persistence did the teacher allow her to opt out.

The Historical Revisionists are on the War Path
At the Baptist General Association of Virginia’s Nov. 9-10, 2010 annual meeting in Hampton, Virginia, the participants “adopted a resolution
decrying versions of American history that minimize or deny the role of church-state separation and encouraging diligence in correcting mistaken historical
accounts.” The resolution, which was passed by a wide margin, considers it “‘a threat to the flourishing of religious liberty when any version of our nation’s
history minimizes or denies the historical basis’ of church-state separation. It also says Virginia Baptists should ‘be diligent in resisting and correcting
any such mistaken version of our history.’” Not a bad resolution if it had stopped at this point.

Original Intent
The foundation of education in America was Biblically based with an emphasis on Christian principles. Although this statement might cause coronary failure to left leaning Americans the facts are nonetheless obvious. As a victim of the Public School System, I was in-doctrinated in the belief that "religion" had no place in the school room that wasn't supervised by a Nun. But this is far from the original intent.
Benjamin Rush
“FATHER OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION”
"The Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life…
The Bible… should be read in our schools in preference to all other books because it contains the greatest portion of that kind of knowledge which is
calculated to produce private and public."
Education in America began with the Puritans 1635 with the founding of the first formal school, the Roxbury Latin School. The first American College, Harvard in Cambridge was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister. During its early years, the College offered a classic academic course based on the English university model but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy of the first colonists. It was established primarily to train ministers of the Gospel, and to evangelize the northern Atlantic seaboard. For more than 200 years, Harvard remained dedicated to Christian education. Every historical Ivy League school founded in this nation had the same Christian moral roots. Columbia University, the 6th oldest school in our nation announced it's opening in the New York Mercury on June 3, 1754 by the following statement:
"The chief thing that is aimed at in this college is to teach and engage the children to know God in Jesus Christ and to love and serve Him in all sobriety, godliness, and righteousness of life, with perfect heart and a willing mind, and to train them up in all virtuous habits and all such useful knowledge as may render them creditable to their families and friends, ornaments to their country, and useful to the public weal in their generations."
The importance of scripture in education was such that two laws were enacted to ensure that education in America would not be void of it. The Massachusetts Bay School Law of 1642 and 1647 in effect laid the foundation for what education would look like in America for many years. The 1942 law required parents and school masters to teach their children the principles of religion and the capital laws of the commonwealth. The 1947 law stated that all towns with at least 50 residents should hire a school master. Prior to these laws elementary education was largely carried out in the home So they sought to establish a system of improved education that would be better than what most children could receive at home, and what was the primary reason? The preamble to the Massachusetts Law tells us why, it stated: (Old English)
"It being one chief e project of yea old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of ye Scriptures, as in former times by keeping him in an unknown tongue, so in these latter times by persuading from yea use of tongues, ye so at least yea true since & meaning of yea original might be clouded by false glosses of saint seeming deceivers, yet learning may not be buried in yea grave of or fathers in yea church and commonwealth, the Lord assisting or endeavors…"
Both the Massachusetts Law of 1647, and the School Law of 1642, were drafted to ensure that children had an opportunity to learn to read the scripture.
The next major milestone for education occurred in 1690 with the first printing of the New England Primer. The New England Primer used Bible lessons and spiritual training to teach children to read and was the home education book of choice for most Americans. It included such subjects as Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, The Lord's Prayer, The Ten Commandments, a Bible alphabet, two catechisms, Bible questions, a dialogue between Christ, the youth and the devil, and the advice John Rogers gave his nine children before he was martyred for Christ
For nearly two-hundred years, the New England Primer was used to provide a Christian education to countless boys and girls in the home and schools all across our country.
But today those same institutions that once groomed young Americans for greatness are producing left-wing radicals who do all they can to distance themselves from God and to ensure that Americans everywhere are isolated from the Scriptures. The results are obvious as you look at the crime rates, drug use, destroyed families, and corrupt politicians that are destroying America. At the same time organizations like the ACLU (American Criminals Liberties Union) are defending their rights to keep the rest of us from seeing our children grow up in a safe world.
Obama Worship in Public Schools
My son, who is in 1st grade, came home yesterday saying that he didn't want to go back to school anymore. So I asked him why? He said that during the Pledge of Allegiance the teacher put up a large image of Obama next to the flag. I asked him if he was sure of this and I suggested to him that maybe the teacher just put up an 8x10 photo of the president. He said, "No, it is a large picture of Obama and when we are done Ms. **** turns off the image." I also asked if they did this for Bush last year? He again said, "No." This was my sons first day back to school since before Christmas, he was on a 5 week track break.
My wife volunteers a couple of days each week with helping out with my sons teacher doing various duties. She said that she would come in early this morning to see what was going on. She just got back and reported that this was true and then some. She said she waited out in the pod area and could see inside 3 of the 5 class rooms in this section of school. She said that when the kids stand each teacher flips on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about 4 feet away from the flag that hangs on the wall. She said that the image has Obama staring straight at you with no facial expressions, just a serious look. I asked my wife if Obama had his hand over his heart? She said that she was so taken aback by this that she didn't see it. What is worse is she said that all of the kids in each class faced Obama instead of the flag that hangs in the corner.
What the heck is going on?
Guys and gals, I need some advise on how to approach this. I can be somewhat hot headed so I need to plan accordingly with what to say to the principal when we go in to inquire about his. I am sure I will be brushed off so what is my next step? Obviously it will be the school district but then who? ACLU, Veteran groups, Christian groups? Who would be interested in this vile activity?
This is happening in the Clark County School District here in Las Vegas, Henderson area
I did a Google search to verify this and came up with quite a bit. Here is just one link
