One More Reason to Homeschool Your Children

I was just visiting the Ladies Against Feminism website, and they have a great article on the prejudice against boys...being boys.

I was reminded once again of what a fallen and sinful world we live in.  Behavior that is so innately boyish is being "criminalized", and banned from all places in our culture.  I have long been troubled by the fact that in children's sports they don't keep score ~ because someone's feelings may be hurt if they lose.  Can someone tell me when in your adult life do you always "win"? 

It's no wonder that we have young people "growing up" to walk into their schools and shoot everyone they have a problem with ~ when do they learn to cope with adversity?  If a look or a word, let alone an action is considered violence, and you just go tattle, how do you learn to deal with hurts and frustrations?  The answer is you don't.  You just stuff things down until they explode ~ and then having played with a gun as a youngster or having played dodge ball, or whatever other "violence" you may have participated in  is what is blamed.  Not the idiot adults who crippled them emotionally, all in the name of "fairness".

It's just one more reason for me to keep my children home and educate them here.  That which the Bible teaches as good and right(distinct differences between male and female), is once more being taught as bad and evil in our schools.  In our "school", competition is valued, along with good sportsmanship.  Competing with a good attitude whether or not you are winning or not.  Putting forth your personal best.  Dealing with adversity in a godly way.  Boys are not only allowed, but encouraged to be boys~who in turn are encouraged to be men.  Girls are taught to be feminine and not to be masculine.  Distinct differences are taught and embraced. Similarities acknowledged.  But we don't force boys to be girls or vice versa.

If you would like to access the article directly, it can be found at the American Thinker website.  I encourage you to read it and then go play a game of tag or dodge ball, or anything in which you keep score!
