Are we prepared to wait three generations to achieve this? Most of us will be long gone. Our children are, for all practical purposes, under government control even if you homeschool. Who will be left to carry on what they never knew existed?

I've wondered that for some time. How do we counter act the liberal machine in our schools? These kids aren't being taught actual history. They're being taught revisionist history. Do we start, or gather, in private schools - to teach what once was? I've taught my kids real vs what's being taught. Is it our calling to teach the younger kids the truth in schools and church classes? Not sure. Not sure about much, right now.

"Who will be left to carry on what they never knew existed?"

Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For, someday, sons and daughters,
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. - Viktor E. Frankl

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. - Anne Frank

I've given my life to the principle and the ideal of memory, and remembrance. - Elie Wiesel
