"The free public schools of America are outgrowths of the parochial or pastoral schools of puritan New England, which were established by our forefathers to prepare their children for becoming useful members of society and the church. Nurtured in the lap of the church, these schools soon became so necessary to society at large that the church reluctantly relinquished her claim upon the elementary schools, and turned them over to the care of the commonwealths, retaining for herself the higher institutions of learning--the academies and colleges.
Whether this was wise or not it is not our purpose to discuss, further than to remark that, if the study of the Bible is to be excluded from all State schools, if the inculcation of the principles of Christianity is to have no place in the daily programme, if the worship of God is to form no part of the general exercises of these public elementary schools, then the good of the State would be better served by restoring all schools to church control."
--Kansas Teachers Union of 1892
So, is this the philosophy of teachers' unions today? Not on your life! Their philosophy is to rid public schools of any mention of Christianity and even to rewrite American history so as to erase all references to Christianity. You see, these unions are run by atheists and therefore hate Christianity. On the other hand, Islam is now being promoted throughout the public system. Does anyone see an agenda forming here? It takes a liar to rewrite history doesn't it? It also takes a liar to deny the holocaust doesn't it? So why promote a religion that would deny historical events? It fits perfectly with the philosophy of teachers' unions across America.
So, will we do anything to change this or will we just whine about it? There are still legal channels to pursue such as voting out school boards who refuse to buy text books that tell the truth about American and world history, running for public office and legislating truth back into society and a number of other means. Don't just sit there, do something!
PS: Don't get me started about what is taught in science books in our schools. Evolution is the biggest lie that our kids are being forced to learn. There is NO evidence for evolution yet entire generations have not been allowed to learn about other theories and evidence. It this right America?
