Why Am I Doing This?

How many people who have their kids in public schools in this country really have a clue as to what goes on in those schools? Sadly, not nearly enough.

 If more people understood what happens with public education in America and also understood that they have many other options besides public schools then some things might change.

 There are many parents that just don't give a hoot what the schools do to their kids as long as the kids are not at home and underfoot. What I write on this blog will not be for them. Their apathy has  (unless they somehow wake up) already guaranteed  that their kids will end up being just more cogs in the socialist system this country is fast degenerating into.

 I have been collecting info on what goes on in public schools for over four decades now. I have fat file folders of this material--more than I could ever use in the years the Lord has probably left for me on this mortal coil,  but, by His grace, I will attempt to use some of it on this blog so folks can see what the public education establishment has been doing to their kids. Maybe if some of what some of them read shocks them enough they will consider taking their kids out of public school and finding a solid Christian alternative for the kids.

 If this blog moves some to do that, then it will not have been in vain.

    I hope to include quite a bit about West Virginia in these narratives as I go along.

"Sexy" Textbooks

by Al Benson Jr. Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America Awhile back, I read an editorial from The Longview Daily News in Longview, Texas, The title of it was Do Parents Care About Textbooks?   The editorial made some interesting points. It said: "News reports from Austin say the State Textbook Committee has recommended for use of   fifth grade students a "sexy" history textbook  "because it turned students on" in contrast to other books labeled "too factual." It continued: "Do parents think their fifth grade sons and daughters need to be "turned on" by "sexy" textbooks in elementary schools?  The committee vote approving the "sexy" text was 12 to 3. Do the 12 members who voted for "sexy" history in the fifth grade really think boys and girls of ages 10 and 11 need to be "turned on"? That was a good question. Another question might be--how many of those 12 who voted f

The Real Purpose of Education

by Al Benson Jr. Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America The late theologian, R. J. Rushdoony, was very concerned over the issue of education in this country and what the real reasons for that education were. Years ago he made the statement: "Statist educators want to create a people who will be Creatures of the State and its Schools, not creatures of God;  that's the goal. You see it's a religious conflict and it's a religious goal with these people. You can never fully grasp their objective until you see the religious aspect of it....Education is fundamentally and essentially religious...If you want to know what the religion of the people of the culture is, examine their education." If Rev. Rushdoony's  statement is accurate, and I have no reason to think it is not, then the question arises--what is our real religion in this country at this point in history? Does the way we educate our children determine what we really believe, re
