As some of you might know I have a young daughter who I have attending a private "Christian School" I would prefer to be home schooling but that is just not an option for me right now, anyway she came home today and told me what she learned. What is thunder? She said, "Our teacher said it is just Jesus up in heaven eating popcorn and watching TV! WHAT!! It amazes me why people can't tell children the truth, it's like they are too stupid to understand, but what really made me angry about this statement is that they are making a flippant remark about our Lord and Saviour with no honor or respect!! How sad!! Sometime I wonder if I have to send her to school I should just send her to a public school. They would not be teaching things of the bible but at least they wouldn't be teaching false doctrine. This is so frustrating oh well blessings to you all Sis Debbie

Debbie, I agree that is pretty bad in a supposedly Christian school. Having said that, though, I can tell you in the public schools your children are allowed no Bible teaching, not even as "literature". I understand that in some schools in the country, the politically correct crowd is allowing Islam and the Koran to be introduced supposedly to make the children more "tolerant" of other cultures. I don't know how widespread this type of thing is, though.
The one thing your children will be taught in public schools, though, is evolution as a fact rather than a theory with no provision for intelligent design as even a theory. Most of us can remember the subtle chart that showed our "evolution" from an ape, to an ape man, to man - a quick and effective lesson to us that man "evolved" instead of being created by God. Evolution is the foundation on which rests many of the godless atrocities of our times - abortion, supposed natural selection which was the cornerstone of Hitler's Holocaust, giving him the right to kill those his regime determined unfit to live. In fact, much of the basis for the original court rulings in favor of abortion in this country were based on Darwin's theory of evolution that wrongly states that a fetus is just a blob of tissue going through evolution in the womb . . a lie, as the human fetus DNA is human DNA from start to finish . . not frog DNA at one stage . . . not fish DNA at another . . human DNA!
Another thing children are being brainwashed with is books about Tommy having two daddies in order to push the homosexual agenda; then, of course, the feminist agenda is also factored into the classes on "tolerance" and includes a heavy dose of Planned Parenthood hype. - All schools may not have fallen into these traps, but many of them have. Little girls are not taught that it's good to be "keepers at home" as the Bible teaches; they are mostly pushed to climb the corporate ladder or to "be somebody" and that if they don't have a career - they're nobody.
I won't even go into the violence that has invaded the public schools. Even in our small hometown, the high school there had a shooting in which one boy shot and killed another on school property over a girl. (I knew, even when I went to school there, the competitiveness and thrust always toward consolidation for bigger and better would eventually result in a sad outcome; but it was easier even after that episode for the school board to sweep it all under the rug and go forward with business as usual.) Little girls and boys are pushed hard to participate in the overactive sports program, either running up and down the soccer field in scanty clothes, or else to be cheerleaders in scanty clothes, or otherwise to be on the dance team and gyrate their bodies in very suggestive dances at games in scanty clothes. The old men in the bleachers sit at half time and leer at the little girls, and the little boys who aren't football heroes a lot of times sit seething with jealousy at the girls' attention going to the sports figures - even at that age!
So, there is much to think about in all this. If I had it to do over I would be caught trying at least to home school our son. Public schools weren't quite so bad when I was a child, so I was rather naive and thought his school situation was like mine. How wrong I was!
