A recent news story came out about a fourth grade school assignment given to students in Arizona. In the assignment, students were to write about a situation. The situation given was ‘a woman finding a hair clip underneath her bed with another woman’s hair in it.’ Such a situation put the student in a position of having to deal with the issue of infidelity. It is one thing if a high school class had such an assignment, but fourth graders. The mother who discovered the assignment expressed concern. The teacher apologized and said that she had not read the assignment carefully. The teachers response has me wondering “Who is the curriculum writer that would want fourth graders to be exposed to such situations?” Children attend school for an education, not ‘indoctrination’, but that is my own bias. I expect schools to educate, not to act as social change agents, especially when it comes to infidelity. With increased exposure to such issues, there is a risk of desensitization. Had the child responded with a moral or value based response, I wonder how the teacher would have responded?

Jeff this is not surprising ..The CLASS TEST of the 1980’S came on my radar …it tested how much of the indoctrination of the outcome based curriculum had embedded into the minds of the students
I was alerted to this as I was driving along listening to a woman on the radio discussing it and my children who were in grade school at that time said” Hey that is the test we are taking next week”!
The information continued to say that no one was supposed to look at the content of the test …not even teachers because it was going to be considered a FELONY …the children were not supposed to tell the parents they were taking it or to discuss the content!! WHOA ! Lots of red flags went up in my mind .
They gave an address for anyone who wanted to get a copy …a teacher who lived in another state had read the test ,…alarmed she made copies and risked jail to make it available.
After this I felt our rights as parent was violated …I sent for the test and after reading it over decided to have my kids “opt out’ ….I went to the principal to ask her if she had any knowledge of the content or purpose of the test and she did not nor did she think it important for her to know !
Just the very aspect that the test was to be secret and cutting the parents out of the loop and having children keep a secret from the parents was enough for me …at this time I had recognized from the word that it was my responsibility before GOD who I allowed to teach my children and to be knowledgeable of WHAT they were being taught but this was the last straw as it opened up my eyes to many things as I studied to find out more about what was being included in the curriculum and how those things set in the Word of GOD.
I began to learn from the Word and other resources about the things GOD tells parents they are responsible for …the ONE JURISDICTION regarding the children regarding the training of children was it was the FATHER and the parents responsibility to see to it that what they learned and practiced did not violate the way to the Lord.
You know the various aspects of Humanistic doctrine and it’s infiltration THROUGH the systematic indoctrination of children from the time of around the Industrial Revolution onward….
I remembered then the things taught to me in my teacher training courses when I added a teaching credential onto my bachelors degree …”in case’ my first career would not continue and I would have something to ‘fall back upon’ according to mom!
It turns out that what was taught was not so useful in teaching in any government school really but what I now find useful is the knowledge about the things taught to teachers that violate the way GOD has told us to raise up our children.
I KNOW from experience what teachers are led to believe is their MISSION for the sake of the UNION …the ‘human capital ‘ attitude or ‘human resource’ ideas …that ‘children are our greatest ‘resource” and INDEED the STATE believes children are a commodity.
The degradation or breaking down of the conscience through corrupt information taught as truth …aka DOGMA …it one of the subtle ways that indoctrination works it’s vile program .
There is no need for violent overthrow if you simply use the same truth that GOD created the mind for …but used for a diabolical purpose and agenda…Train the children younger and younger and let the old die out ….then there is true CONTROL through the persuasion of the mind.
The command to MAN was for HIM to ‘train up your children in the way that they should go and when they are old they should not depart from it ‘
The devil knew this secret too …SO in time past we see it recorded that men who sought to take control over others …saw that the training of children was key ….Daniel is a good example of this kind of technique to get a population under the control of those who seek power and to redirect societies …and the world .
A modern extreme example was Hitler youth.
Today’s government education took over the god given jurisdiction but just as in the garden of Eden …the devil cannot take …what man has been given without the man making a FREE WILL CHOICE>..so today people have been led to believe they MUST relinquish their children to the government for ‘education’ ,…which is nothing but indoctrination with whatever is needed to form a new population.
The initial aim of the government school was not a large population of THINKING people but people who would be easily led…
This was based upon the PRUSSIAN SCHOOLS MODEL that was created from the work of scientists asked to find a method to create such a docile and clueless class of citizenry
I recall being told in our teacher training that part of our TASK was to get the respect and authority that was for the parent in the child to US …in order that we could ‘keep order’ and ‘do our job’
In other words ..we as teachers were told that we could not expect to gain access to the child without usurping the place the parent had in the child’s mind ..
I was not aware of this at the time …but the word tells fathers that they must gain just what GOD asks of us in order for us to be teachable…”GIVE ME YOUR HEART MY SON”
This directive to student teachers conveys that they must get the HEART of the child in order to teach them ,…or indoctrinate them ….trust …is key
HOW many little children hold their teachers above the authority of their parents….especially since parents are often spending less and less time with their children these days with economic ‘reasons’ and various other ‘demands ‘ that are made upon their time and energy …same as marriage losses…
How many parents when telling their children about something …hear ‘BUT my TEACHER says….”
These teachers have been indoctrinated to believe this is BEST ..to STEAL and USURP the god given jurisdiction of the parent …they think the laws of man are more powerful than the laws of GOD and parents who do not KNOW the word of GOD on the subject of their jurisdiction and responsibility encourage the child to ‘respect the teacher’ without interference…OFTEN not realizing what is taught because they just TRUST the teacher and the school to ‘socialize ‘ their child and prepare them for the next fifty years in dealing with society.’
Today’s corruption is tomorrows disaster….!!!Both personally and nationally !
Talk about the BLIND leading the BLIND….
If this situation ethics exercise is supposed to teach anything it SHOULD be a GIANT wake up call to parents to consider home schooling …but if they do not realize what is truth …if they know not GOD or care about what HE has said…then they STILL are accountable for how their children grow and learn ….
This is sad …somehow history is bound to repeat itself …as it appears that xbox has taken the place of study of what would shed the light of truth upon the way to take back our jurisdictions in all areas that GOD intended for HIS glory and OUR good as well as our future generations !
Nothing is too hard for GOD but man has been given FREE WILL TO CHOOSE …if he will not seek to know what is truth …then he will be making a ‘choice’ by not seeking .
Jer 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
The knowledge of GOD in truth is the fountain of LIVING WATERS…through Jesus Christ who is Lord of all but only the LORD of those who are willing to follow HIM according to his words.
