Nice work. Thanks.
Adolph Hitler said it on November 6, 1933 speaking about the schools and their indoctrination of the Hilterjugend (Hitler Youth Corps).
It was Adolph Hitler who said, "Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state."
Norman Thomas, Socialist and member of the Civil Liberties Union, boldly told the world, "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
"Give me your four year olds," said Lenin "and in a generation I will build a Socialist state."
Lesbian author Patricia Warren, boldly told the gay and lesbian community, "It is the FIRST fact of civilization that-- whoever captures the kids - owns the future."
In his book ‘The Science Of Power’, Benjamin Kidd wrote, ". Give us the young. -- Give us the young and We will create a new mind and a new Earth in a SINGLE generation."
Ross L. Finny, a socialist PhD in one of his books tells us this; "Everything depends on passing out the expert opinions of the social scientists to the masses of the people; the schools are the only adequate agency for this function."
Lastly, the American Humanist Association understands the importance of capturing the children – for they have written: "In order to capture this nation, one has to totally remove moral and spiritual values and absolutes from the thinking of the child. The child has to think that there is no standard of right and wrong, that truth is relative, and that diversity is the only absolute to be gained."
CyberCowboy777 --this is an excellent post.
As Rev. Ray Moore notes in his book ...Let My Children Go: Why Parents Must Remove Their Children From Public Schools Now--excerpts from the Counsel of Chalcedon
Why is abandonment of state schools necessary? Can't we just "fix" the problem of public education with better ideas, more money, more teachers, new technology, etc, etc? More and more Christians are beginning to understand they the clear answer to this question is an emphatic "No.!" State schools, according to Rev. Moore, are built upon a socialist, humanist-oriented model. Socialism, from its very foundation, is not compatible with Christianity and a free market economy. Government education's socialist model is, however, a brilliant means by which to inculcate the hearts and minds of children toward the goals and purposes of the state.
Thus we begin to see a battle line drawn by those who wish to indoctrinate children toward the goals of state education, versus those who wish to educate and point children toward their Creator to fulfill His purposes in their lives. And with Christ, we must keep in mind; there is no neutral ground.
