PART V in a Series: Earth day is a huge deal D-Day not so much."
By Bill Ames
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas An original statement regarding education in America is contained in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The third article of the Ordinance declares:
Religion morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind schools and the means of education shall ever be encouraged".
How public education has changed from that beginning!
Today the education establishments focus is no longer on religion morality and knowledge" but rather on diversity multiculturalism political correctness one-way tolerance" and the relative morality that teaches that there is no good or evil no right or wrong no absolute truth and that any point of view is valid. Homosexual and transgender lifestyles are not just tolerated but are promoted as normal alternatives.
Conservative author Pete Hegseth wrote in his recent book In the Arena Earth day is a huge deal D-Day not so much".
Christianity is all but omitted from world history textbooks while a whitewashed depiction of Islam (a religion of peace) is taught and even promoted.
There is constant pressure by educators to compromise and degrade family values and traditional culture.
Examples are an attempted transgender bathroom policy in Fort Worth ISD and inclusion of inappropriate books on mandatory reading lists at Highland Park ISD.
Parents input regarding such issues is not solicited and when voiced is all but ignored.
Many have said that ignoring Americas traditional culture and family values in public schools is not an issue. They are wrong.
Attacking and degrading them is yet another incremental action in the lefts agenda to destroy fundamental family and cultural values across America.
Legislative Actions:
- Mandate school district requirement for balanced values curriculum as part of public
education monitor responsibility: i.e. Personal responsibility traditional family
values absolute truth right from wrong behavior.
- Impose penalties for non-compliance through random audits by public education
monitors.
- Legislate school bathroom use in accordance with birth certificate gender.
