Leftist Public School Indoctrination Bill Moving Forward in Springfield
By Laurie Higgins   |   04.09.18
The noxious Leftist “Inclusive Curriculum” bill (SB 3249 and HB 5596) created by two Chicago-based homosexual/”trans” activist organizations (i.e., Equality Illinois and the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance) is moving through the Illinois Senate. The central goal of this costly and...
Inclusive Curriculum Bill and the Church of Secularism
By   |   04.02.18

On the whole, it seems that those who oppose Christ have been far more successful in shaping society than have the followers of God.

A Sound, Compassionate Response to the Transgender Movement
By   |   03.12.18
Transgender ideology is being disproportionately aimed at children, teaching them that they are not the inherently valuable image bearers God created them to be.
Political Agitation at Schools & Vulnerable Kids
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.10.18
From working for a decade in a public high school, I can say with certainty and knowledge that many students do not like divisive political events or discussions on hot button topics at school. Many teens are struggling with all...
Another School Shooting, Another One-Sided Debate About Reality
By John Biver   |   03.07.18

While these examples from "higher education" have the ruse of education, they in fact promote a dogmatic secularism with a kind of religious fervor intent on urging students to abandon reality and live in their own sexual fantasy world.
Common Core: School Test Scores Are Nosediving
12.13.17
In 2013 Michael Cohen of Achieve, Inc. (an organization integral to developing and marketing the Common Core national standards) testified in New York that Common Core is a long-term education experiment on our children: “The full effects… won’t be seen until an entire cohort of students, from kindergarten through high school graduation, has been effectively exposed to Common Core teaching.” Four years later we may not be seeing the full effects, but heaven help us when we get there.
