Dobson: Christians need mass exodus from public schools

WND ^ | 3/30/17 | Bob Unruh

Dr. James Dobson, who started Focus on the Family and now delivers his Christian and pro-family advice through the newer Family Talk radio, is endorsing again the move for parents to withdraw their children from public schools.

At least partly because he’s “shocked” at the values, or lack thereof, exhibited by millennials.

Those are the voters who are about ages 18-34.

Trained as a teacher and psychologist, early in his career he was largely oblivious of the idea of homeschooling, he explained on a recent series of  broadcasts featuring guest E. Ray Moore, of the Exodus Mandate, which works to encourage Christian parents to homeschool their own children, or put them in church-run Christian schools.

Our Pastor has been yelling this for the past 30 years.

Now, with vouchers, the excuses of Christians for putting their little ones in the Public Indoctrination centers is running out.

Indeed! Thirty is now the “new twenty”. They honestly do not consider themselves adults until the age of 30.

“There is no reason why Christian schools can’t incorporate training students to be self studiers,”

And I think Christian churches should have a line item in their budgets for subsidizing their members’ children to attend private schools or do home schooling. Most churches have hefty Missions budgets, which is important. But what is more important than our own children’s futures?

I put my kids through Christain school, but Facebook and college seem to have changed them a lot.

My kids are better than some of their old classmates. One of their old classmates is a wiccan, many are gay, and a lit more are social justice/BLM types.

One of my daughters is conservative. She’’s never been into social media and she went to community college.

Strange times.

Of possible interest to Another Reason to Homeschool.

I would use the acronym for Another Reason to Homeschool but a government school defender ( a government teacher) tried to have me banned because she claimed the acronym was porn.

The Catholic church is disgusting. I left it over forty years ago.

Try a Jesuit school sometime. Talk about a training ground for young Marxists.

Re: Mission Budgets

A Christian's **most** important and **urgent** mission is that of his **own** children. The next most important is mission is that of the children of his **own** congregation.

Once this is attended to then he can look out into the community, nation, and world.

[MayflowerMadam]

Christians putting their kids in public education is child neglect.

[wintertime]

Well....The Augustinians aren't much better. I am a graduate of Villanova University.

[luckystarmom]

At the Christian school I put my kids in there were 2 teachers there that were very liberal. One taught AP US history. They moved, but they are Facebook friends with my kids and lots of other kids. They are so luberal.

Lots of their other teachers were also very anti-Trump.

My husband was furious. He feels like our money was wasted.

We put them in the only private non-Catholic Christian school in Silicon Valley.

Of course, it is California. I wish we would have moved years ago.

“Christian school isn’t necessarily a panacea either.”

Many Christian parents are shocked to find that children attending Christian schools are just as worldly as secular peers—often worse in some regards. Most Christian schools are completely oblivious to the Devil traipsing their halls with the latest iPhone and a veneer of social respectability.

The entire concept of school as a social construct is dead. Children today don’t look to any authority for moral (or any other) instruction. The vast majority of American children are completely peer dependent and rely on “social networking” for instruction. The ludicrous term belies the fact that children have become asocial, isolated, and rabidly conditioned against independent thought.

Most adults have no idea how far the social impact has progressed, or regressed, depending on your viewpoint. Many adults look around and see immorality as the primary problem with the younger generation, but amorality is the foundation their entire worldview.

“The Devil’s greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

I bet that it costs hardly anything at all, because you are bearing most of the load.

I wish I had this kind of program when I was young.

[wintertime]

Interesting observation. I will remember this.

Modern Educators are the 21st-century Erlkonig:

Who is this driving so early in the morning? It is the father and his son on his first day of school.

"Son why do you look so afraid?" "Oh father, don't you see these smiling strangers do not wish me well?" "Son, respect your elders they know best."

"Come with us young boy, we've got a lot of great games we want to play together. There is an entirely different world than your father's we want to show you, full of beauty, fame and riches."

"Father don't you hear? They want to talk me out of my instincts and commonsense." "Hush now, boy. I had to go to school when I was your age. We've all got to go to school."

"Come to school, child, where everyone's a winner regardless of effort, where feelings of importance outweigh the facts, where provocateurs are rewarded and students who stand up for themselves are punished."

"Father! Father! Don't leave me there! They're going to tear me apart! The students are predators and will try to share their drugs, sex and hatred of family with me. The teachers will be insane. They won't listen and will all act out their ancient grudges on me." "My son, education is the price we pay for living in a civilized society."

"You're such a smart student. You're so special with so much potential. You've got to push yourself now to memorize these impractical formulas, revised history and dates. If you do, we promise you'll get a higher paying job and any career you want."

"Father why did you even have kids just to send them away into the hands of monsters?" "Shut up kid! I'm trying to drive! I have to work overtime so that we can live in this city and I don't send you to school just to listen to you complain about it!"

When they got home that night, the father realized that his son was dead inside, the living dead, a zombie, just like him.

Life perversely imitates 200 year old art.

Born into sin, shaped in iniquity.

Yes. Teachers go to universties and teaching colleges, which were deeply infiltrated by Frankfurt School social Marxism adherents decades ago. Those are indoctrination centers for teachers. So, a different wrapper can hold the same poor contents.

Or "Uncle Earnie" (click on the pic for the associated tune):

[polymuser]

...it is Marxists who are training up the next generation of voters.

Yes. I'll assume you are familiar with The Frankfurt School, the social Marxists that fled Nazi Germany to the U.S. In the mid 1940's. They infiltrated Columbia U and made it their HQ to branch out from. (Who all studied there? Trust none of them!)

Getting our children indoctrinated, slowly over time, to vote Socialist, was their plan. They succeeded greatly, with willing (infiltrated) help from teachers, unions, Democrats, media and churches.

Public School is Child Abuse

[conservativeimage]

Poor little Alex, in that mandatory sex-ed cuddle puddle. You didn't know you were sending your kids to Clockwork Orange?

[so_real]

"and I have to pay for the kids who go to public schools"

That part sucks, I totally agree. When the quality of public education falls so dramatically to the point you would rather invest in your children's education privately, it doesn't make sense to continually have your tax dollars taken and used to prop up the failing system regardless. How can you vote with your feet and your wallet when the government follows you and steals your money anyway? Yet, there is a public interest value in a modicum of education for all citizens. I confess I do not have a simple solution on that issue.
