April 24, 2005 Congressman Tancredo and HSCCA President Tim Bueler to CRA: “Stand against the cult of multiculturalism!”
The California Republican Assembly (CRA), which President Ronald Reagan once called "The Conscience of the Republican Party,” celebrated its 70th anniversary this month at Pomona, CA. CRA’s annual convention featured distinguished senators and congressman from all around California, including Sen. Tom McClintock, Sen. Bob Dutton, Sen. Dennis Hollingsworth, Rep. James Rogan, Rep. Ed Royce, and Rep. Gary Millar. At the Saturday night Patriots Dinner, HSCCA president and founder Tim Bueler joined keynote speaker, Congressman Tom Tancredo on the speaker’s rostrum.
Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has become a noted national leader in the effort to reform our immigration policies and secure our borders. Rep. Tancredo spoke about the effects that massive immigration, both legal and illegal, is having on America’s schools, environment, health, economy — and most importantly — our national security. He warned, “when the cult of multiculturalism which is being taught in many of today’s public schools is combined with lawlessness from the south, the effect will be to devastate our borders, language, and culture.”
HSCCA President Tim Bueler spoke about liberal bias in education and the rising tide of student activism which has sprung up to combat bias in the schools. Bueler reminded the audience about the danger of removing the Bible from the classroom, saying, “The most common question I am asked is how have the liberals taken over our educational system? The answer is quite simple; they have attacked our Christian foundation! We have allowed the left to replace the biblical principles that used to be taught in our schools with a secular humanist worldview.”
“Our founding fathers warned us,” Bueler continued, “that if the Bible was ever taken out of the classroom then we would expect to see the things our occurring today! Benjamin Rush, considered the nation’s leading educator of the time, was one of the first founding fathers to call for free public schools under the Constitution. In an educational policy paper he wrote in 1791, Rush gave a dozen or so reasons why the Bible would never be taken out of schools in America.
Benjamin Rush warned,” said Bueler,” that the results of removing the Bible from the classroom would be an explosion of crime, and wrote, ‘In contemplating the political institutions of the United States, I lament, that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them.’ Benjamin Rush knew that if religious standards were removed there would be no restraints on misbehavior.
Fisher Ames, another founding patriot, offered the final wording of the first amendment in an article written for a national magazine in January 1801, and, according to Bueler, Ames expressed his concern that as more and more textbooks were introduced into classrooms, that the Bible might someday drift to the back of the classroom. He warned that this most never be allowed in America; that the Bible must remain the number one textbook in our schools. Rush considered the Bible as the source of sound morality in the classroom.
“It is clear to me that in order to take back America’s schools our foundation has to be in Jesus Christ. We must retain America’s true Christian heritage if we want to have a better tomorrow."
