Suggestions, IMHO:
Study the Reformation (with patience to understand, not jump to conclusions), i.e., starting with Wilem of Occam, all the way through everyone in Germany, France, Scotland, etc., i.e., Jan Hus, Wycliffe, Knox, Zwingli, Calvin, Luther, etc.
Note that in the Glorious Revolution, those who did not vote to execute King Charles were those who were more along the lines of true Presbyterian Reformers. Those who were more politically-oriented voted for the execution. Though they did not want a Roman Catholic King, undoubtedly they realized that over the centuries all things work out to God’s will.
It must be patiently understood that there were two dimensions to the situation, one political, i.e., England being separate from Rome and its influence and two, that of the religious Reformation itself and wanting to get heretical practices to cease being institutionalized in their nation.
One needs to understand the Old Testament Kings and the doctrine that is taught in their accounts (Pastor Brian Schwertley has an excellent series on youtube and sermon audio on Christian Civil Government which explains the Old Testament and its Christian doctrine regarding this).
All this goes to the founding of America; why the Pilgrims came here, how the culture and law developed as it did, later immigration of other denominations pre-Revolution and the Constitution.
Another avenue of reading is on international banking families, notably the Medicis and Rothschilds; start out with this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banking_families
You will find that the Bank of England was formed out of fear and crisis, you’ll find that America was founded with international banking investment which continued right on and grew from there. Railroads, cotton the slave trade - this was all financed mostly by transnational banking. Transnational banking created panics by pulling back their capital at opportune times - which enabled them to enrichen themselves and build the case for central banking in America. Did you know that Paul Warburg was a financial advisor to negotions at the end of WWI for America - and his brother Max as negotiating for Germany ? And that Paul Warburg was the original proponent of the Federal Reserve - and he only became a naturalized American citizen in 1911, being a financier from Germany ?
The more your children read about things that are essential to understanding America, the more they will realize that it is all left out, denied and called “conspiracy theory” by their teachers, who don’t know it themselves.
Some of the keys to life are: a) the Bible is God’s Law Word; God does not change, and he holds every minute of our lives in his hands b) free-and-clear ownership with no debt, c) owning a business: business equals an investment that generates a profit d) those who own the most in society are the leaders of that society and can self-determine; those who own little or nothing are simply cogs in a wheel that can not self-determine, e) families should stick together, f) citizens of a nation should stick together.
Regarding inability to homeschool, check out the http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/ - the children do it themselves.
Incidentally, Paul Warburg’s son James was the financial advisor to FDR, and was the man who infamously said “We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.” before a Senate Committee in 1950.
“the children do it themselves.”
I’m sorry, but that doesn’t cut it for higher level classes. The children cannot grade their own technical writing assignment, philosophy paper, or science lab. There has to be a second party evaluating their work.
They may be able to ‘do it themselves’ up until around the 5th grade, where class revolves around rote memorization or black and white answers...but after that a real human is required to at least ‘grade’ the work, challenge to premise of papers, correct stylistic errors in writing, etc. Quite frankly, although I admit to not knowing this guy’s entire curriculum, I am positive that a child left to ‘do it themselves’ throughout high school will get a GED, but have a non-robust education....they will not have reached their full potential.
And that one statement “the children do it themselves” could be used as a billboard ad by anti-homeschoolers to prove their point.
Some people can home school, and I applaud that. But I’m not going to make an amateur attempt at it because I think the kids can be put on autopilot. You’ve either got to be all in, or send them to public schools.
