most people believe in a basic code of decency. In this era where morality is in the eye of the individual it is clearer than ever that the
lefts agenda is to establish a world of no absolutes. To reach this end they have continually used public policy to
destroy foundational family values and ultimately discredit the concept of a sovereign God.
The latest pet project of the left is the push to allow men to self-identify as women allowing them access to womens bathrooms locker rooms and changing facilities.
Just last week the Obama Administration announced a directive that would require this policy to apply even to minors in our public schools.
Over the years liberals have campaigned against traditional family values the 2nd Amendment and our freedom of speech and religion declaring that all opposed to their viewpoint are afraid. Fair enough fear is a legitimate response to real threats.
A simple Department of Public Safety search reveals there are over 600 registered sex offenders in Lubbock County alone. That is
just one county - there are over 87000 in the State of Texas.
Whether or not a particular transgender person is a sex offender does not change the fact that this policy will give bad actors easy and unfettered access to womens restrooms. It is estimated that nationally 293000 women are victims of rape each year. Why should government condone increasing these numbers by allowing men in womens restrooms and locker rooms? A reasonable fear of public safety exists and it only takes one incident to ruin a life.
Regardless of their religious affiliation most people believe in a basic code of decency. To expose the innocence of a childs mind and heart to this in our public schools is an outrage and as adults we have an obligation to protect them. Children should not be exposed to indecency and lose their innocence because of a lack of discretion.
The continuation of a coercive federal government that blurs the lines between legislative judiciary and executive powers is the death of federalism. The presidents latest directive blackmailing our public schools to comply with his transgender agenda or face losing federal funding is just the latest example. This dictate is dangerous on so many levels and it serves as a crystal clear indicator that the federal government has no boundaries. This president has no concept of his role in our republic form of government.
This agenda will cost the State millions of taxpayer dollars between the accommodation and litigation costs expected to occur. As fearful parents seek alternatives to public education it will also likely impact our local schools by lowering per-pupil funding.
As a Christian I believe there is an absolute and unchanging standard of truth that all are called to live by and all will be judged by. We should all have a profound fear and respect for our sovereign and just God who is responsible for determining our fate for eternity.
Any attempt to circumvent the Lords will including the perversion of creation will be judged both individually and corporately.
If individual opinions are the standard for what is moral and right then we have 320000000 potential standards to live by in this nation. That is a scary thought for the the future of our nation.
Most importantly no men in little girls restrooms!
