“You are right, but one thing the progressives did (John Dewey) is to lower the ages for compulsory education and there is a big move to make preschool universal....it is all to indoctrinate children into the progressive (moral relativist) view. Parents are being undermined in all aspects—through media, music, esp. and schools. As they are being undermined they are told it is as good to have young children raised in day cares as in the home—again to break the family bond and create good little marxists who are conformists)”

Yes, it is dangerous to have preschool mandatory. THAT is an age where kids NEED their Moms in particular. This is why they CRY and FIGHT when being dropped off. From their innocent perspective they are being abandoned and they are. You are right on - it BREAKS the family bond in negative ways.

“Absolute values are being constantly attacked if you go outside the home, Christians especially. The attack is as ruthless as it has been on Palin but is more covert and couched by “nice” language. Tolerance, multiculturalism, pro-choice, equal rights, etc., etc. Progressives have painted moral people as bigots and haters and have control over all media but a few outlets. It is extremely hard to buck the system—Palin is a good example. Children are NOT strong enough to fight the progressive system in place (emotionally or intellectually) and most adults have trouble identifying it even if they are against it. Putting children in public schools is like throwing them to the wolves. Like I say, it was covert for years and now, with O, it is seeing the light but most people still can't understand what is happening. To think children will be immune to the intense indoctrination is ignorant.”

Yes, with no parental intervention, relative values replace absolute from that tender age. The younger they are the more they are damaged.

This is where GOOD parents continue to make sure their kids reflect THEIR values and beliefs and they LIVE what they believe. Many parents are compromised so they don't see it. Then they wonder - what happened? I don't know my child. GEESH:

YOU didn't RAISE them - the LIBERALS and HUMANISTS raised them.

YOU had no time for them.

You threw MONEY and THINGS at them.

YOU did teach them that materialism at the expense of them is wonderful.

YOU didn't even “preach” at them because YOU were too busy being a narcissistic parent.

YOU showed the example of how to be narcissistic, self centered and haughty.

YOU made everything else but them YOUR priority.

YOU made your child precocious by pretending they could deal with everything that came their way WITHOUT YOUR involvement.

YOU rejected your own children.

(None of this rant is directed to you personally - it's you in the plural)

We don't do that here. We are hands on parents - yes one of each gender in a traditional family. We LIVE traditional values and openly REJECT liberalism and liberal family values without apology and use them as examples of what NOT to be. We are Christians. We are SELECTIVE on friends. We discipline and punish for wrong behavior. We are NOT materialistic. We SHOW how we sacrifice. We patiently explain why some behavior is not acceptable and what is acceptable. Britney type garb is NOT acceptable nor is much of the music, TV and video games out there. Even Harry Potter is off limits for us.

Speaking of books we read GOOD books. Ones that highlight the values nad beliefs we have. We love true stories of missionaries. We love character building books as well as books like Animal Farm. We feed their heads with GOOD and inspirng information. We see it working! So whether she remains in a private school or goes to a public school, we will continue this. How a child fairs in public OR a private Christian school is still up to the PARENTS and them being INVOLVED.

You are so right.....it is imperative that parents parent and love their children. It is possible to raise intelligent, loving, God-fearing children BUT it is just so much harder now with God being thrown out of the public square and education becoming a social immoral warehouse. There are pockets of excellence, though, and the homeschooling books that I have used are absolutely awesome.

Popular culture has become so vulgar and demeaning to people, though, that it is hard to avoid such negative experiences at vulnerable innocent ages. I do think it essential to preserve the innocence of young childhood, but society is not allowing anymore.
