Everytime a groupd of republicans comments about how conservative is the State of TExas it would be well to remember stories like this and that until Tom Leppert was elected mayor of Dallas EVERY major city was run by DemocRATS. We are one election away form returning to a aoo years of RATS if we lose sight of the grass roots - schools.
We have already lost the schools to Bill Ayers and his ilk. Check out how many of the Weather Underground are in postions of influence in our schools. It is not by accident. Number 17 of the Goals for a Communist takeover of America states “Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.” Few would argue that they have not been successful. While they have achieved great success regarding #28,”Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”, they have not and cannot remove God from our hearts and that is our greatest strength. Pray daily that despite their stated goals and apparent success in achieving same we will survive as “One nation under God, with liberty and justice for all”.
