Words cannot describe the horror I felt as I read this. This child was only 5 years old! I cannot imagine leaving a child this young alone. 5-Year-Old Girl Left Behind on Field Trip original story here
NOW they will take roll??!! What the blazzes do they mean NOW they will take roll? What on God's green earth were they doing in the first place NOT taking roll to make sure all the kids were there. And they have the nerve to tell parents like me that they can better educate and care for my child!!!!!!!!! This is just beyond words.
And we all know that some kid on that bus told the teacher,
[
[
"Miss Jones! Miss Jones! Miss Jones! MISS JONES!!"
"Oh, for heavens sake Johnny, What is it now? Please be quiet for just a moment."
"But Miss Jones, little Jane is not here."
"Yes she is, I have counted. She is here somewhere."
"But Miss Jones!"
"Please Johnny, you have caused enough trouble. Oh, when will his parents but him on ritalin?"
[

Thank the Lord for the "nice man" that helped her. In today’s world, the chances are that the man that helped her would have been a child molester. It was by the grace of God that a good Samaritan was there at that time.

Ok, I know it is environmentally correct to use these things but I have several problems with this and I love my buddies who have been on me to give up the “evil” shopping bags but I am sorry, I will not use the reusable shopping bags for the following two reasons.
1) First, reusable ones are not very sanitary in my opinion. If you are carrying meat or vegetables in them they can get “polluted” and then get germs on the next thing carried in them like baby cereal. Yeah, you can try to keep certain ones for only the meat but if the juice leaks out or some food is left in them to rot…..sorry does not sound healthy to me. 2) Second, I do reuse the plastic bags so they do not go to waste. I use those plastic bags for all sorts of things. They are the perfect size for small garbage cans (hence, I do not have to spend money to buy bags), I use them for quick gloves, to line all sorts of things, you name it. It is rare that I throw one away without being used unless it is the cheapo kind with holes in it. So sorry to all the tree huggers, I have no intention of using those reusable bags unless someone can show me how to keep the cloth bags clean. (and do not suggest I throw it in the washing machine because that creates more usage of water, energy and detergent that goes back into the environment not to mention I am taxed enough with the shopping itself and worrying about the kids having clean underwear to really worry about whether my shopping bags are clean so you are only trading in one pollution and aggravation in for another) |

I have seen some people say the reason they homeschool is because the dangerous environment of the schools; fights and such. Here is a story at a school not far from us. Do I really even need to comment on this? Officials: Teachers Get in Fist-Fight as Students Watch
Orginal story here
The comments left on this news story by many students is most revealing. I dare some teacher to stand up now with that nauseating statement I hear so often given to homeschoolers:, "Parents should teach the Bible at home and leave the teaching to trained professionals." Trained what? Boxers? And don't any of you dare to say this is an isolated case, it happens all of the time. Talk to the public school kids. You will find out this kind of nonsense happens almost daily. |

I have posted rants about this in the past. This article appeared yeasterday. The orginal link is here Coming-Of- Age Novel Causes Uproar in California School
While I commend the principal for pulling it off the shelves, he puts the blame on the company. Wait a minute; are you saying that your school librarian is such a mind numb robot that she (or he, must be politically correct now mustn't we?) never even bothered to read it? Oh, I see, there was no Jesus on the cover. That is what made it ok. Did you also see what the company's , Renaissance, response was? So what? We care very little what you have to say. WE have decided it is appropriate for your kids. I once helped a child of a friend of mine do a book report and was shocked at the garbage that the schools have the kids read. Some of the books that they are REQUIRED to read have lesbian overtones, violence, cuss words, oral sex and these are elementary school kids! I can not tell you the excuses given. Well, we know these books have some "questionable" material, but they help kids to see they need to not be ashamed who they are. AM I ONLY THE HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET THAT HAS READ ANNE OF GREEN GABLES? LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE" AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS? I feel sorry for public school kids. They will grow up thinking that the drivel handed to them in class is good literature, when the only usefullness it serves is to line a bird cage. They will never know what joy reading the truely great literary works until they are adults. They will miss out on the awe and excitement that only a child can experience. |

Finally, A Mother with real backbone! I was so thrilled to read this article on Fox news. It is about time to see a parent with real backbone. If more parents behaved like this, we would have a lot fewer delinquents. 'Meanest Mom on Planet' Sells Teen Son's Car After Finding Booze Under Seat
I love that while she did believe her son that the alcohol was not his, is was still a violation of the rules. He had someone in the car who was drinking. About time!!!!! Kudos for this mother!! |

I am the daughter of one of the 60’s feminists. You know, one of those women that history books show pictures of them bravely burning their bras to show they would no longer be constrained by the preconceived notions of the role of women in society. They marched for equal rights and equal pay. They demanded care farcicalities be built so they would not be forced to stay at home and slave for the home and be reduced to wiping snotty noses, when they could be out making a career for themselves and self sufficient. They goal was to free every woman from the enslavement of marriage. My heartfelt thanks to you ladies….for enslaving us. You took a worthy cause, giving woman equal rights and corrupted it into a way to justify your laziness and selfishness. You cared little for your children so you just shoved them aside. Forget if they needed a mother or a father, you deserved sexual satisfaction from every man you met, you had the right to put your career before anything else. It mattered little that you had children; you made sure they did not get in the way of “the cause”. NOW WAIT! I have heard you argue that you just did not want to confine your daughters to the role of house maker only. You wanted them to see that everyone was equal. Well then why did you not teach your sons to cook as well as your daughters? No, you were too lazy going out and enjoying your protests and sexual escapades to be bothered with teaching your kids how to do their laundry or to read. So you demanded that pre-schools be built. That way children would get the education you perceived they needed without you sacrificing anything. You enslaved us. Why are our kids really overweight? Because you have enslaved us to the fast food places because no one ever taught us how to prepare healthy meals. Why do our daughters dress like sluts? Because you enslaved us to the department stores to provide our clothes because we were never taught how to sew our own clothes. Why are people in so much debt? Because you have enslaved us to credit card and check cashing companies by never teaching us to budget for our household. Why are venereal diseases running rapid, why are our daughters and sons failing prey to the offers of “love” child predators promise? Because you enslaved us to lust; you have shown us that love is nothing more than what cats do. You never taught us or showed us how special the gift of sex was that was to be saved and given to our future spouse. Why are so many marriages ending in divorce? Because you enslaved us by teaching us that marriage was not between two mature, committed, self sacrificing man and woman; it was only for connivance and if it got too difficult, file for divorce. Why are there so many people who have little regard for life? Because you enslaved us to the notion that life is only life if it is wanted; if it is wanted it is a baby, if not it is nothing but a mass of tissue. We are nothing but an accidental series of mutations is what you tell us. Why are so many children abandoned by their fathers? Because you enslaved your sons by teaching them duty and responsibility are secondary to their feelings; what you feel is all that matters. So thank you all you 60’s feminists for enslaving us. I would sarcastically ask, “I hope you are all proud of yourselves,” but of course, you have shown you do not care. |

Normally, I do not like to comment on how other people conduct their homeschool program ( i.e. unschooling or traditional book method) I feel compelled to comment about the recent coverage the news has given the Edwards campaign about their decision to homeschool. My opinion has nothing to do with any political persuasion, so please do not think you know which party I vote for. I am insulted by Mrs Edwards and I resent calling how she educates her children homeschooling. It may be how the NEA would like homeschooling done, if it can not outlaw it.
The information I am commenting on comes from her own words in an interview she gave. The Edwards family have hired a tutor, a licensed teacher. Now this teacher is in direct contact with the Edward’s kids’ teachers in the school district they would normally attend. All of the materials used, from text books, worksheets, and tests are the exact same thing they use in the classroom. The tutor, has daily contact with the school teachers to make sure the Edward’s kids are at the exact place their public school comrades are. I mean we can not have the children actually having the chance to exhibit independent thought or take the chance to cultivate an interest in a particular subject. So what if they want to experiment some in science, they have a schedule to keep, darn it! This is NOT homeschooling!!!! She would not even be legal in SC where a parent is required to provide at least 51% of the instruction! She likes to pretend she has taken control of her kids’ education when all she has done is turn it over to a public school teacher who happens to conduct class in their home. This nothing more than public school at home. Grant you this is the way the teachers’ union would like it done. This is no different than when a child is too sick to go to school and the district sends a sub to visit the home daily with their regular schoolwork. One must give her credit. She is indeed a politician’s wife. She sits up there talking about how she did not want to interrupt her children’s education without offending the teachers’ union. She must think homeschoolers are idiots. Does she really think we do not know what she is up to? She is trying to win our votes for her husband without upsetting and losing the votes of their base in the NEA. Personally, I find this insulting. I believe this post at Why Homeschool says it better than even me. Do not insult my intelligence and my hard work by pretending to be like me. I have no respect for you. Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery; it shows you are nothing but form without sustenance. |

At first glance at this story, my first knee-jerk reaction was the school overreacted like they normally do with this nonsense they call zero tolerance. However, upon really reading this I have a few questions after this. Oregon First-Grader Suspended From School After Violent Drawing (orginal story here) EAGLE POINT — A first-grader was suspended Tuesday for drawing a stick figure shooting another in the head with a gun and allegedly threatening students. Little Butte School officials sent 6-year-old Ryan Weathers home after receiving complaints from parents saying he threatened their children, said Douglas Weathers, the boy's father. "He's not a violent kid," Weathers said. "He did not mean any harm." School district officials declined to comment. State law bars them from discussing disciplinary actions against specific students. The disciplinary report given to Weathers stated the reason for the suspension was the boy "threatened to shoot two girls in the head." The drawing was inspired by an episode of "The Simpsons," Weathers said. In the television cartoon, a character displays a drawing of a student being shot by a gun. Weathers said he understands the concerns other parents may have, but felt the school went too far in suspending his son for one day. "You can't blame the parents," he said. "I told the principal that I agreed that he shouldn't have done the drawing, but suspending him seems like a policy with no intelligence behind it. "They didn't seem to care that he's only in the first grade." Tina Mondale, the district's school improvement director, said the issue is between the school and the parents involved. "We can't give these details out," she said. "We deal with every discipline issue in a case-by-case basis. Our main concern is the safety of all the children in our schools." Weathers plans to hold Ryan out of school until early next week. He wants a chance to talk to school officials before he lets his son attend class. "I don't like him being out of school," Weathers said. "I'm not sure how this is going to affect how my kid is perceived. They may view him as a violent kid or a terrorist, or whatever." The biggest issue Weathers had with the incident was that his son tried to blame the drawing on another kid. "Lying is a big problem for me," Weathers said. "No matter what happens I tell him to tell the truth. I told him he was wrong for trying to lie." Weathers said he owns a handgun, but he keeps it in a safe in a storage facility. "I do own a .357, but my son's never even seen it," he said. Weathers said he is looking forward to discussing the matter with Ryan's teacher during a conference Friday. Until then, the boy's future at Little Butte School is up in the air. "I don't know if I'm going to bring him back to that school," Weathers said.
1) What the blazes is this child doing watching the Simpsons? Animated does not mean it is for kids. The father is the one who should be punished for letting a CHILD watch such a vulgar show. 2) If this kid had just drawn stick figure with a gun, it would have been one thing, but he drew two specific girls (according to FoxNews). Not to mention several parents complained that their children had been threatened. 3) The kid LIED about it! 4) The father kept making excuses! Yeah, what he did was wrong, but..... There seemed to be no repentance to me. These things made me reconsider whether or not this was zero tolerance gone amuck. But you see this is the trouble with zero tolerance, everyone is so accustomed to hearing the ridiculous, that a case where a child might actually need to be thrown out and get help for the safety of the other students and himself, is just dismissed as foolishness. Is it me, or does the old story about crying wolf come to mind? |

I had an interesting discussion not too long ago about abortion rights. The person I was discussing this with claimed it was a right. I did not get into the morality issue because it is not an issue. The only difference between a baby and a fetus is whether it is wanted or not. A rose by any other name is still a rose. It does not take a doctorate in biology to know it is a life. I was arguing that this whole abortion rights movement was about money; the doctors will charge about $4000 an abortion. I was told this was not true. These doctors and nurses and activists are dedicated professionals that truly, truly care about these woman. This was my answer.
“Ok, you say it is not about the money,” was my first question, “they truly only care about the rights of a woman?” “Oh, yes,” came her reply, “it is really about the rights of a woman! Why can you not see that?” “Then they should not be allowed to charge $3000,” was my suggestion. “W-w-what?” she stammered. “Here is my reasoning. If they truly care about these woman and it is all about their rights, then make it illegal to charge for an abortion.” Is what I said, “ Charging so much puts a horrible burden on these suffering woman anyway. If they really cared about this right of women, they should not be allowed to charge the woman or the insurance company. I wonder how many people would yell about rights if they could not profit off of it? How many of these dedicated doctors or nurses would still be so dedicated? I am willing to bet not to many. Oh, to be sure there are some out there that would still perform this, but not very many.” “Well, they have to make a living,” was the predictable reply. “Oh no, throughout history our rights were secured by those who sacrificed, “I pointed out, “ It is their turn. Besides, their practices made money before they were allowed to perform abortions, just not as much.” So my stance has changed. Sure, let’s make abortion on demand legal, but a clinic, doctor, nurse or even pharmacy can not charge a single penny to the woman or insurance company or government for any service or medicine or even so much as a band-aid. After all, rights should not be charged for. We do not have to pay for our right to vote, why should we pay for our right to end a pregnancy? So, how many of you out there who charge any amount of money for an abortion would still claim it is a right? |

I have heard the intellectually void argument about homeschooling, "well, how are your kids going to know how to deal with a bully if they never face one on the playground and get a bloody nose?" This article about what happened in a school in my county really makes this argument look beyond stupid. Lexington Co. sheriff: 12-year-old assaults six girls, threatens rape The boy is accused of touching the girls' private parts with his hands. The girls told an administrator that the 12-year-old touched them inappropriately on numerous occasions between August 27 and September 19. Sheriff Metts says the girls told the administrator that they had repeatedly told the boy to stop, but he wouldn't. The sheriff says one girl said the boy told her that he was going to rape her after he touched her. So I suppose the argument will now be, "well, how is your child going to know how to deal with a molester or rapist if they have never been exposed to one or had one threatened to rape them?" |

The husband and I only watch one tv show. We make it a date once a week after the kids are in bed. You can read about it here. Well, we had the kids in bed, popcorn popped, and set in front of the tv only to find it was extortion time at PBS. So of course, they take off the shows you normally watch to put on some show that no body I know watches, to convince you to donate to help keep this program on the air. Of course, you will never see the program aired again until the next extortion time. It is also the only time you might see a Christian show like Veggie-tales on air on PBS. Why do I call it mafia or extortion? Well, think about what they tell the kids. "Now look kids, we are not sayin' that anythin' is goin' to happen to Big Bird, but...uh...if youz mommy and daddy don't send any money in, you might never see Big Bird again' I also get sick of them saying, "if PBS doesn't air it, who will?" If no one will pay to advertise on it because NO ONE will watch it, then call me crazy but mabey it should not be on the air! There are plenty of shows that do not stay on the air because no one watches them. And with all of the blasted elmo and seseame street junk in the stores, why can they not take 1 or 2% of the profit and give it to the station that airs the show that causes all of that junk to be sold in the first place? You may be saying, "well you like one of the shows, why do you not donate?" They get more than enough money. I have been to their studios, they waste it!!! Ok, rant over. I am better now. Thanks for listening. |

This is a real funny story. Normally, I do not feel sorry for crooks, but this poor fool. The original story is at www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286847,00.html The main story goes like this. 72 year old Bill Barnes of Grand Rapids, Mich, was at a gas station scratching off his lottery ticket, when he felt a pickpocket's hand slip into his pants pocket where he had $300 in cash. Unfortunately for 27 year old Jessie Rae, he did not do too well picking out his victim. First, Mr. Barnes is a former US Marine (I do not use ex because Marines are never not Marines). As if that was not bad enough for the poor criminal, Mr. Barnes is also an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer who has placed more than once. Wait! It gets better! The 72 year old was retired after 20 years as an iron worker. You might have guessed by now what had happened. The 72 year old/USMC/boxer/iron worker beat that stupid kid to a pulp. If I were the judge I would be too busy laughing to sentence this fool. I really like the Old West form of justice. I should think this pickpocket has learned a more valuable lesson from his victim than he ever would from jail. |

I am sure we all remember the fund raisers we use to do when we were in elementary school. We would sell candy bars or wrapping paper or whatever. I heard on the radio just a few moments ago about a fund raiser my local middle school was doing. They were able to get two big name grammy winning country singers to come do a concert. My problem is not with that. My problem is what they were raising the money for. When I was in school, we use to try to raise money for new gym equipement or for science equipment. I remember the outrage once when the CHILDREN had to raise money for updated books. People came out of the woodwork to donate, local reporters did on the spot pieces how disgraceful it was that the students themselves had to work to get new decent textbooks. It was the school board's duty to see to this. Why, there were demands to see where all the tax money had gone!! What are the local students trying so desperately to raise money for? What did they see the need to work so hard for? What do they want more than anything to help improve their education? Security Cameras How bad has our schools become that instead of trying to raise money for new dodge balls, our kids have to raise funds for security cameras!!!!! My heart breaks for these kids. Instead of concentrating on getting a better education or socializing with their friends, they have to work to get the funds to keep themselves safe!!!! |

Saddened, dismayed, sick....these do not begin to express what I feel with this tragedy. But I do not add shock. NO, I am not shocked. Why should any of us be shocked? For decades, we have told kids they are special and their lives are valuable. Yes, that is true, but we left out that everyone else's life is valuable and special. We have cheapened life, that there is no real value to life. We have taught kids that they are an accident of nature, a mutation, no more valuable than an owl. We have SHOWED them that all that matters is mommy or daddy's happiness or sense of fullfillment at a career or hobby is what is important. Seaseme Street has even stated in an epsiode, " and doesn't your mommy deserve to be happy." And what do kids think? They are not making their parents happy. Just stick those burdens in the most expensive day care you can find. Expensive means the best, doesn't it? We have taught them it is all right to murder a baby if it is an inconvient time or we are short on cash to have one. If you have a disabled wife who is cramping your style, just get a judge to help you starve them to death and collect the money. Old? No problem, we can just get a doctor to withhold medicine. We have taught them not to let anyone "diss" them or their sex, gods, or their race. So why are we surprised? Did we really think we would not reep the harvest? Of course not, which is why our kids think the same. Yes, God made you special and loves you very much, but He made everyone special and loves everyone very much. (not a diss on Veggie-tales. I am a huge fan) Life, ALL LIFE, is valuable. Everyone's life is worth something .And until we get back to that, I fear this will only be a small taste of what is to come. |

Tennessee High School Students Make Porn Film Between Classes MAYNARDVILLE, Tenn. — A group of Tennessee high school students are in hot water for trying to make a steamy porn movie between classes. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,255746,00.html Four female and two male students were punished after a drama teacher caught them filming the flick in a Union County High School classroom. Wayne Goforth, curriculum coordinator for the school district, told WATE-TV in Knoxville that the female students had stripped down to their underwear for the boys who were acting as the cameraman and emcee (They were only interacting with their peers) The drama teacher assigned to the classroom was on hall-monitoring duty, Goforth said. (So they were being left alone! How many homeschool families are visited by child services each year because of a report that the children were left alone?) "Personally I think students see too much on TV," Goforth told the station. "They like to mimic what they see, and if they're watching that sort of thing, of course they're going to copy that." (so the kids are such mind-nimb robots that they can not think for themselves or know the difference between right and wrong.) The students were suspended for various amounts of time, with two students being suspended for at least three days, the station said. "For the most part, we have excellent students at Union County High School, and it is a learning experience," Goforth said. "And the behavior and discipline is just part of their learning experience." (Hey, its no big deal! It is just part of the learning experience to be part of porn flick) Some of the students are in special education, he told the station. School authorities confiscated the tape ($20 says the tape will "disappear" and their will be no proof this every occured. So all you parents need to calm down, go back to your lives and let us continue to raise your children to be well educated thinking adults. Nothing more to see here.) |

Now what really ticks me off is that any coward can call in a complaint about a child being abused without leaving their name but if someone wants to call in a complaint to animal control about anything they must give their name or animal control can not do anything about it. If you are defending a child you should be proud of it!!! I know the argument is someone is more likely to call in a tip if they can be anonymous. Well, here is the problem with this. It has created more work for child protective services. Instead of spending time, energy and money on real cases of child abuse, they are forced to take these much needed resources to waste time investingating false accusations like the one in this article and like the ones people call in for revenge purposes. What they should do, is demand a name like in the case of animal control but only release it if they find a complaint was made of malice. Am I the only one who sees the wisdom in this?

There have been a lot of stories about teachers and principals using drugs while at school lately. So many in fact, I do not have the time to comment on all of them. I remember a while back there was a large outcry that the public schools were going to give random drug tests to students. Now the arguments went something along these lines....
It ended up the schools only do drug testing on those students interested in participating in sports. Now I wonder what those same people who supported drug testing for students would say if they instituted the same for the teachers.
I wish someone would demand it. Of course it would mean half the teachers in my local high school would be out of a job. (comment made from attending that school and knowing half the teachers and what the kids who go there tell me.) When I was in high school, 16 years ago, we had a teacher who would go to the teacher's lounge to smoke pot every day. Everyone knew and did nothing. Kids are not stupid. They know which teachers are doing drugs. Do not believe me? Ask them. You may be surprised at the answer. Then again, if you have been watching the news, you won't be. |

Now really, what is the big deal? I mean this coach was just providing exposure to the real world. You can not shield kids their whole lives. This is just silly! It is social interaction! That is what the schools are for, blast it! (In case you do not know me, this is sarcasm)
Well, it just keeps getting better, or should I say worse. This happened a few days later.
http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5973628 Another news station reported she was taken out of her office in front of the whole school in handcuffs. Wow, I bet the students had a lot of respect for her then. Talk about a role model! Sad thing is, from what I have seen, this seems to be the norm for upper middle & high school. |

These two articles regarding two schools near me must make them proud. After all, it is degrading to teach girls to act like ladies. They should not only reject acting like a lady (which we all know is only a way men use to keep woman in a servant manner) but they should not allow anyone to treat them with respect (for that is degrading)
But rest assured, someone will cry and get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Yeah, my daughters are missing out on this kind of social interaction. How shall they ever survive in the "real world" (or should I say the real world until they get out of high school) |

Officials Say Man Exposed Himself at Spring Valley High
This guy walked through the front door, pass several people including a janitor, down SEVERAL halls and went into a room and "played" with himself. (trying to be nice, some of my friends let their older kids read my blog)
The big question is, "How did this guy even get into the school?" This school is suppose to have security cameras everywhere (well obviously they caught him on several video cameras) and an armed resourse officer.
Merciful heavens, what if he had had a gun or bomb or according to the ACLU, worse....a....gasp....Bible!!!!!!! |

you read correctly. the orginal headline is "12-Year-Old Special Education Student Charged With Disorderly Conduct for Wetting Pants" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,241579,00.html
now according the the teachers, this SPECIAL ED girl wet her pants on purpose so she would not have to go wash pots & pans. 1) what is a child (special ed or otherwise) doing washing pans? isnt that what the kitchen staff is paid to do? mabey it is some sort of social interaction. 2) if this child has wet her pants when dealing w the principal before, why is she so terrified? 3) so for wetting her pants & suffering damage to her self esteem (after all that is what is highly prized now in the public schools) her parents will have to pay a find unless this child performs free labor. Keep them home. i once helped out in a special ed class and the kids are grouped in from all over the school. in a middle school you have kids from all the grades in that school. i had a class with 4th graders AND 8th graders. they do the same work every year. this is why they become stagnent. some schools like my local only taught the kids how to do factory work (not that i am putting that down but there are other professions one can do) i know of too many people whose special ed children just went beyond anyone's expectations when they were at home. i am sorry, whether you like it or not, you can ignore the truch if you wish, but the reality is that public schools are nothing but a legal way to put your special needs kids in a day care. they learn nothing of value to help their lives. |

this article form the chicago-sun times, now what is the surprise in this? considering the atmosphere in the schools i am surprised the kids didnt get charge with sexual herassment for exposing themselves. why didnt the teacher escort all of the kids for a bathroom break like they do in kindergarden? i guess they have not taught the kids that they should learn not to have to need the bathroom at a certain time. i mean really, using the bathroom when you need it, the nerve of some kids!!!! i am sure the parents will sue because of the embarresment this has caused.
for the record: my kids go to the bathroom when they need to. |

an artist in ohio make a cookie display called "the secret lives of ginger bread men." it has the cookies dressed up i nazi uniforms at a bon fire w one looking like hitler. http://www.wltx.com/FYI/story.aspx?storyid=45200 of course there is outrage, but i have another take on this. i think this shows what happens when the government becomes the moral authority instead of God. (mmm, are the homeschoolers in germany not having this problem now?) we would never dream of murdering women, children, etc because we know the our Lord values every life, but what happens when we put God's word aside and allow the government (or courts) to tell us what is acceptable...whether that be in worship, science, everyday living, or how to educate our children. remember, the german people didnt start out like nazis. they progressed. in some ways, are we not allowing the same thing to happen in america? |
