Sunday Morning Thoughts: Bibles Taken Out of Elementary and Middle Schools After “Petition”

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“In the Bible, Jesus says “Let the children come to me” — but parents and teachers in Utah have decided it’ll have to wait until high school.

At Davis School District, located north of Salt Lake City, the 27-book collection of Christian scripture has been shelved for students until they enter high school.

The district has removed the Bible from their elementary and middle school libraries after receiving a petition to ban the holy book due to its descriptions of sex and violence.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

When I first saw this on Fox and Friends, I said, “No way. Why would “parents and teachers” want to take the Bible out of schools?”

And then I realized how stupid my question was.

These had to be Far Left Democrats or very ignorant people.

I just inadvertently repeated myself.

But, I digress…

The Bible, the Incarnate Word of God, stands in the way of the Far Left’s indoctrination of our school children in the belief that there is nothing wrong with a massive central government taking care of them from cradle to grave.

Once you take away a child’s moral base, which is what American Christianity has always provided, along with strong traditional family units, then it is easier to teach a child that good is evil and evil is good.

And since the Far Left Democrats have already been waging a decades-long Jihad against the American tradition of strong traditional family units, they feel like there’s nothing stopping them from the complete radical change of America into a Cultural and Political Marxist Nation.

Because Americans have been fighting back against the sexualization and grooming of our children and grandchildren by insisting that inappropriate-aged sexually-explicit books be moved out of elementary and middle shool libraries, those who are hellbent on grooming childen are now turning their sights on the Bible in order to clear away a roadblock to their evil plans.

That’s right. I called it evil because it is.

We are living in Biblical Times.

The Bible tells us that men and women will turn away from what is right and just, becoming lovers of perversion and self.

It tells us that there will be a falling away from God’s Word and from the message that brings us to repentance, grace, and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Just as Americans have been fighting back against the sexualization of our children in public schools, so must Americans fight back against God’s Word being taken out of them.

Otherwise, our nation will suffer the same fate as the Israelites who worshiped the Golden Calf.

“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.” – Matthew 12:25

Critical Race Theory Still Being Taught in America’s Schools

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula. – Christopher Rufo, “Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It”, imprimus.hillsdale.edu

“A new study shows that elements of critical race theory are prevalent in American schools despite claims that the controversial teaching is only promoted at the college level in law degree programs or doesn’t exist at all.

The study, conducted by Manhattan Institute policy analyst Zach Goldberg and adjunct fellow Eric Kaufmann, asked 1,505 Americans aged 18 to 20 years old whether they had been taught, or heard from an adult at school, about four core concepts of critical race theory. The majority of respondents, 82.4% of whom attended public school, said they had been taught or heard about those core teachings.

The study found that 62% of the respondents, who had yet to graduate or had just recently graduated from high school, have been instructed in class or heard from an adult at school that the United States is a “systemically racist country.” More than half of respondents, 57%, said they were taught or heard that white people have “unconscious biases that negatively affect non-white people.”

According to the study, 69% of respondents said they were taught or heard that “white people have white privilege” and 67% reported that they were taught or heard “America is built on stolen land.”” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Christopher Rufo, in the article from which I quoted at the beginning of today’s post, explains that

There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality. But the distinction is vast and important. Indeed, equality—the principle proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, defended in the Civil War, and codified into law with the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—is explicitly rejected by critical race theorists. To them, equality represents “mere nondiscrimination” and provides “camouflage” for white supremacy, patriarchy, and oppression.

In contrast to equality, equity as defined and promoted by critical race theorists is little more than reformulated Marxism.

The Far Left Democrats are attempting to create a generation of Marxist-loving, anti-American, Useful Idiot “New Bolsheviks” through the use of Racial Division and Revisionist History.

However, the United States of America remains the country that everyone wants to come to, legally or otherwise.

Why? 

Because for almost 250 years, this “Shining City Upon a Hill” has had a reputation as a land in which everyone could make their dreams a reality…if they were willing to work to achieve it.

Our economic system of capitalism has been the cause of millions of Americans achieving their dreams and providing for their families.

America is a country chiseled out of the wilderness by rugged individualists who wanted not only the freedom to prosper…but the freedom to worship as they pleased also.

America is a “Sweet Land of Liberty”.

And, Liberty is Freedom with responsibility.

The responsibility to provide for yourself and your family…and to protect our precious liberty if our country goes to war.

Far Left Democrats could care less about the sacrifices made and the lives lost to secure the Sovereign Nation which is today’s America.

Why?

Because they themselves are a bunch of “useful idiots” who want desperately to “share the wealth” and insult patriotism by calling it “nationalism” and “bigoted White Supremacy” in order to “radically change” our proven economic system of capitalism into “Democratic Socialism”, a form of Marxism, a political theory which has never worked in any country in which it has been tried. 

For several generations, Democrats have told the impoverished that “Uncle Sugar” will take care of their every need as long as they keep voting them into public office.

However, these same impoverished Americans found out during the Presidency of Donald J. Trump the rewards of a good job and hard work.

Boys and girls, the reason that the Biden Administration and the rest of the Far Left Democrats do not want Americans to be proud of America and our actual shared history that it reminds Americans of every good and just quality that this nation was founded upon and which has kept us strong for almost 250 years.

It fills us with pride and gratitude that we live in the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth.

Everything that the Far Left Democrats despise.

The Leader of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin, who brought Marxism to Russia, wrote

“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”

However, Lady Margaret Thatcher, a close friend of President Ronald Reagan, laid that falsehood to rest with the following quote…

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

And, you know what?

I would much rather live in “the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” than under a failed political system where you can not even buy a decent roll of toilet paper.

This is the Time for Conservative Americans to Stand Up and Speak Out – A KJ Analysis

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

I was on Facebook yesterday morning, looking through my memories, when I found this quote from the late, great Godfather of Conservative Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh:

“Remember, in terms of research data and self-admission, we conservatives are the majority in this country — and that still matters.”

Listening to Rush Limbaugh stand up for America and average Americans on his syndicated radio program is what got me inspired to start sharing my thoughts by blogging way back in 2010.

I believe, that as Conservative Americans, we need to stop being the Silent Majority.

And, my fellow Americans, if the path of destruction that we are witnessing, being forced upon us by a political ideology which has gotten completely out of control is not evil, then I don’t know what is.

My reasoning behind this is the fact that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to remain silent.

For example, you have people who are upset that the Supreme Court has handed the decision of whether or not a pregnant woman can kill her unborn baby back to the individual states and the American voters.

Imagine being upset that you can’t kill a baby.

I can’t even…

Conservative Americans should fight on the side of LIFE

That ain’t a puppy in there, y’all.

Another thing…

You have unvetted, unemployed, Illegal immigrants flooding across our Southern border, while the Biden Administration refuses to do a cotton-pickin’ thing about it.

Our Border Patrol has found evidence that there are drug runners, rapists, and terrorists among those whom the Democrats are euphemistically referring to as “migrants”.

The difference between a migrant and an illegal immigrant is that a migrant comes to a place to find seasonal work and leaves to find more work when the job is done.

All too often, illegal immigrants come to America to take advantage of all of the Federal Government’s “charity” that they can get their hands on. Of course, the financing for this “benevolence” comes from our American Tax Dollars.

Another thing that more Conservative Americans need to stand up and be heard about is the deliberate programming of our children and grandchildren in public school systems across our country to accept evil as good, America as being a racist country, and deviancy as normal sexual behavior.

America’s Public schools have changed from being centers of education to being centers of indoctrination and grooming.

Finally, I believe that Conservative Americans need to speak out about political corruption.

If we do not speak out about it, then we are perpetuating the Far Left Democrat Elites’ arrogant belief that average Americans are timid sheep who are easily bought off with vague political promises which they have no intention of fulfilling.

Also, if Conservative Americans do not speak out against mail-in ballots, a practice which allowed a Dementia-riddled old professional politician to become president, then our children and grandchildren are doomed to a future in servitude to a corrupt all-powerful Central Government, resembling that of the old Soviet Union.

In conclusion, we owe to those who have gone before us, who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to establish this Constitutional Republic and those who have paid for our freedom with their very lives to “fight the good fight” against those who would “radically change” America into a country that it was never meant to be.

The Illegal Alien Invasion: School Days, School Days, Dear Old “Break the Rules” Days…

On By kingsjesterIn Politics2 Comments

illegal immigration 7714The  new school year begins across America in many counties, towns, and cities next month. and with a new year comes new students attending new schools.

And, not all of them will be American students.

According to the Liberal Newspaper, the Chicago Tribune,

U.S. authorities have apprehended more than 52,000 lone minors this fiscal year, part of a wave mostly from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. This week, President Barack Obama asked Congress for $3.7 billion to cope with the deluge that’s overwhelmed processing centers, shelters where some children stay, courts and social-service agencies.

The Justice Department is changing its policy to give unaccompanied minors and families with children priority in immigration court, which could speed deportations and dissuade others from coming. Most children won’t qualify for humanitarian relief and will be deported, said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

A report from the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, though, found that 58 percent may qualify for international protection.

…For all the political theater, schools are confronting the fallout of the crisis. In farflung cities and towns, a new student population is struggling to adapt to unfamiliar homes and the American education system. All the while, they’re trying to persuade officials to let them stay.

Stories of beatings, rapes or extortion suffered in their home countries, during their travels or in the U.S. are widespread, said Debra Duardo, executive director of student health and human services for the Los Angeles Unified School District. Separation anxiety is common.

“There’s no way a child is going to be able to come to school ready and able to learn if we don’t address some of the other issues they’re facing,” Duardo said. “Schools are a safe haven.”

Many lack immunizations or documentation proving they’ve had them, she said. While heightened demand crowded the main assessment center where checkups are done, moving it was too expensive, she said.

Soon after border agents detain unaccompanied minors, responsibility for their care falls to the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. The agency’s involvement ends when it places children with a relative or other sponsor, said a spokesman, Kenneth Wolfe.

That leaves districts like the Houston Independent School District, Texas’s largest, on their own to estimate how many newcomers they’ll receive.

Houston is planning for more this year than last year’s 910, said Altagracia Guerrero, assistant superintendent of multilingual services. That was nearly double the number it had in 2012, but no one knows how many will show up on the first day of school in August.

Last year’s influx helped qualify the district for a $1.6 million federal grant. Guerrero, who’s part of a team coordinating a district-wide response, said she’ll hire tutors and outreach workers, and educate employees about the surge so they can help students who are a part of it.

“You try to staff as closely to the projection as possible,” she said.

Back in 2008, judicialwatch.org reported on some of the problems the Texas Public Schools faced with having to provide a free education to illegal aliens…

There are an estimated 1.5 million school-aged illegal immigrants in the United States and the government spends an estimated $12 billion annually to educate them. The biggest chunks are spent by California ($7.7 billion) and Texas ($3.9 billion), where the situation has become a public education crisis with no end in sight.

The Lone Star State’s public schools have seen a huge increase in illegal immigrant Hispanic students with dismal Mexican and Central American education histories that are contributing to an overall lowering of academic standards across the board.

Case in point: The Irving School District, located mostly in Dallas. It has suffered one of the nation’s largest increases—63%–of illegal immigrant students in the last year compared to a 33% increase in 1995. Irving’s superintendent says it’s tough to bring so many students with such poor schooling up to state and federal standards.

Mexican government statistics reveal that only 58% of Mexicans 15 and older have some elementary school education and working with them requires slowing down and teaching the very basics. Many of the kids that attend Irving District schools haven’t been in a classroom for years and educating them is an ongoing uphill battle that has depleted public resources in many Border State districts.

Besides spending nearly $6,000 a year to educate each student, the districts also spend more than $1.5 million annually to pay bilingual teachers extra because they are hard to find and have additional credentials. Illegal immigrants are well aware of the free education perks and admit they are a big incentive to enter the country illegally.

A family of illegal immigrants living in Irving says it has greatly benefited from the U.S. taxpayer-financed free education, which makes living in the country illegally worth the risk. The 35-year-old mother took free English classes offered by Irving schools so that parents can help their children with homework and her children speak English fluently thanks to their free topnotch U.S. education.

Since then, of course, the number of these “precious children” illegally here in our country, has grown exponentially, under President Barack Hussein Obama.

Just suppose these “refugees”, as the White House and Liberals en large are calling these illegal aliens, decide to take advantage of the lack of governmental paperwork, especially concerning their age and scholastic standing, in order to “game the system”.

No…they would not do that, would they? No…of course not.

By the way, could I interest you in buying two bridges across the Mississippi River at Memphis?

Newsmax.com reports that

Adult illegal immigrants are posing as unaccompanied minors to enroll in public high schools in Massachusetts, officials said Friday.

“Some of them have had gray hair, and they’re telling you that they’re 17 years old and they have no documentation,” Jamie Cerulli, the chief of staff for Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy of Lynn, Massachusetts, told The National Review. “If my children went to the public schools, I’d be very uncomfortable with all of these unaccompanied minors [that] are placed in the ninth grade.”

Catherine Latham, the school superintendent, said that foreign-student admissions have increased in the district by 500 since the 2010-11 school year. That includes illegal immigrants, refugees, and foreign nationals, the National Review reports.

Nearly 250 students came from Guatemala last school year — and 126 of them enrolled in the ninth grade, Latham said.

Located about 10 miles north of Boston, Lynn has a large Guatemalan population, she told the National Review. Many of the illegal immigrants who arrive there from the Central American country come from the city of San Marcos.

The National Review obtained information and images from the Department of Homeland Security on two illegal immigrants in Lynn who have registered for high school using questionable data.

Isai and Candelaria — whose full names were withheld — are enrolled in the ninth grade and are expected to attend classes this fall, Latham told the National Review.

Latham said that when possible age discrepancies arise, city officials visit the homes of those in question and try to verify age and other information.

She told the National Review of a case in which a relative of an illegal immigrant who registered for school as a “child” was identified by a relative as being 30 to 35 years old.

Heck, they have already entered our country illegally, why should illegally registering for High School bother them?

I understand that people want a better life for themselves and their children.  We are all immigrants in this land, except for American Indians, and they got here by crossing the Bering Straight.  But there is a huge difference between immigrating here legally and sneaking in illegally, between assimilating into an existing culture, and insisting on replacing a country’s existing culture with that of the country you left.

Do you want to have access to the blessings of American Citizenship, such as the right to attend our schools? Fine. Become an AMERICAN CITIZEN.

I’m all for assisting anyone in becoming a legal citizen of the United States, if that is their wish.  But, it must be done the right way, and they must accept responsibility for their illegal entry, show a willingness to learn our language, and embrace our American way of life, including respecting the American Flag.

So, let’s take this one step at a time.  Secure our borders.  Enforce the anti-illegal immigration laws.  And if the Federal Government won’t, the states, like Arizona, will have to pass their own laws.  America became a great nation because it is a melting pot of American-born and legally-immigrated citizens with a shared allegiance, not a multi-cultural United Nations with everyone loyal to their home country.

A wide-open Southern Border is as big a threat to the sovereignty of the United States as anything that our enemies can throw at us right now.  All of OUR SERVANTS, up on Capitol HIll, need to quit playing political games.  The safety of America is at stake .  SECURE THE BORDER NOW.
