I recently recieved a welcome letter from my daughter's teacher. My daughter is going into kindergarden at a catholic school. The letter included the phrase "learning how to help save the planet" which of course means global warming. My wife and I believe that global warming is a hoax built on junk science.
I don't want my daughter brainwashed by this liberal bullcrap. what should I do?
It wasn't an argument, it wasn't pro-Rome, and your statement is at best your ill-informed opinion.
Yes, so far as you go. You left out this part:
The Bible agrees with the Catholic Church, and Rome is just a city in Italy.
Maybe you’re wrong.
I’m not sure Pope BibChr’s Divine Mantle Of Infallibility extends to the area of home maintenance and repair. His response to any question on plumbing is likely to be “where is THAT in the King James Version?”
QED; thanks.
QED, thanks.
Tell them you don’t want her taught that, you don’t believe in it and you don’t want her taught anything that has no proof to it and no basis in fact. If you don’t want them to be taught about sex in school you can object so why not with this. She’s your child. You decide what’s right for her. Tell them you will go to the school board. The least they can do is have her go to the school library or somewhere while they’re teaching this.
Go in the class room with the principal and tell that moonbat to knock it off.Ask your daughter to keep you informed on what the teacher says.Parent/teacher (brain washer) conferences can be so much fun.
There is no perfect school, just as there is no perfect church. A school that emphasizes good discipline, responsibility, parental involvement, and strong academics (as well as the teachings of the Bible) can be given a pass on some things, in my opinion. I would encourage you to have a conversation with the teacher and/or principal to let them know that the “saving the planet” part of the curriculum is political and should not be a major emphasis. Just letting them know that you are watching and listening should tone down some of the drama and rhetoric. While God wants us to be good stewards of the earth, teaching kids that they can save the planet is blasphemous. If God had designed earth in a way that only humans could preserve it, it would have been reduced to dust many years ago.
Start by talking to the teacher and Principal. Let them know your concerns and values with the underlaying fact that this is your child not theirs. Ask to see the whole curriculum and let them know you expect them to honor your values. Depending on how they react/respond you will know whether to change schools or not.
Start researching other private schools in your area. Go talk to them.
Pray (do this first and last).
Spare us the lecture on etiquette. You gave up your right to a private discussion the moment you posted on a public forum.
No assumptions are necessary. It’s all well-documented.
Proving you don't know one thing about my background or positions, and haven't accessed anything I've written. At least, that's my most charitable guess.
Please apologize and correct the slander, or back out of the argument.
Our Christian school K-12 does not teach this nonsense or any other such nonsense. There are good schools with good educational programs. Our students excel in every area.
Fundamentally and sufficiently in its answer to Job’s question, in Job 9:2.
Bravo. Sending 4 kids through myself and we are not surrending their total education. They bring “climate change” up but we review homework so I will be the first to know when something funny is being pushed and I will explain to my kids. My 5th grader had a project on how to stop global warming and had 10 lines for extra credit in science. I told her to write “nuclear power” and leave 9 spaces blank. Never heard another word.
I cede to your wisdom.
Thank you all for your advice so far. I put in a call to my daughter’s principal after I started this thread so let’s see what happens.
And BibCHR, Christ’s seat on earth is in Rome. ha ha.
Keep us posted, FRiend.
I am having leaks in my sprinkler system. what should I do?
