TRAIN A CHILD?
“Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
As American Christians we often take it for granted that America will always be free. We don’t count the next guy as the enemy of liberty. Often we choose not to confront people who demonstrate the willingness to destroy our constitutional republic, thinking that they are entitled to their opinions. We extend to them the benefit of the doubt, like when Barak Obama said that, “we are five days away from a fundamental transformation of America.”
We constitutionalists often shrug when we are chided for our reliance in the value of our constitution, and the rights protected by it. We are reluctant, in this present era, to believe that those that say that they want to destroy everything that we love, and rebuild it according to a marxist pattern, really mean it, and thereby are our enemies.
Public “servants” vow to protect our constitution from, “all enemies, foreign, and domestic,” yet often refuse to consider the Marxist enemy of liberty standing arrogantly in front of us, a domestic enemy, (while they greatly insult us, threatening to imprison us, or our allies.)
I believe that it is the duty of every American, especially those of us who believe in the God of the Bible, to vehemently resist these marxists forces. In our service to God and country, we are not to return belligerence for belligerence, or violence for violence, but speaking the truth, through the love of God in the in-dwelling Christ, saying, and demonstrating, “here and no further!”
The reason for this article is my recent discovery that when the Biden Administration handed out hundreds of billions of our tax dollars through the US Department of Education, they attached at least one dangerous caveat to its acceptance.
First, because of the Covid threat, schools were said to be too dangerous, and “in class” instruction was replaced with on-line instruction. Then we were told that schools, (who’s administrators and teachers, were all home bound, and replaced by online apps,) need greater funding. Funding to the US Department of Education was greatly Increased, and this funding was distributed throughout our national public school system. Upcoming rule changes to education funding will require that the most impressionable young Americans are to be exposed to pornography, and sexual depravity, as well as Critical Race Theory, (which is really critical racism training,) at least thirty minutes per day.
A member of the Louisiana legislature, Representative Dodie Horton has propose a bill, HB837, to mitigate the threat to our children, but has been met with an organized attack from marxist elements from within the Legislature, and the public school system of Louisiana.
HB837 was defeated, (for now,) in the current session.
You may ask how I am aware of this occurrence? Why haven’t you been so informed? I believe that it is because most of the people that are aware of it are intent on indoctrinating our youth with this foul profanity, and they actively hide it from those that they believe have biblical values, and may object.
I learned about the afore-mentioned situation, and these bills in the 6/2/2022, COS monthly meeting.
COS, (or Convention of States,) is a volunteer organization intent on preserving our nation through the 2nd feature of Article V of the US Constitution. COS seeks to amend the US Constitution on specific issues, constitutionally, in order to protect, and defend the liberties protected by that constitution.
Article V, “ (a) The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, (b) or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof,
as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
There are presently nineteen states who’s legislatures have passed resolutions to call for an Article V convention of states for this purpose, and Louisiana is one of them. Thirty-four states are needed to execute this provision. You may wonder what the Louisiana assembly of COS is to do while waiting for the remaining fifteen states to be recruited. That is where civic engagement, and political activism are needed. The Louisiana COS is active in monitoring the performance, (sausage making,) of our legislature, on the lookout for dangers, and supporting the introduction, and passage of bills dedicated to the preservation of our civli society.
I invite you, the reader, to see what you can do. Find out if your state’s Convention of States Action has a political activism arm. If not, why don’t you start one? If they do, get involved.
I’m sure that there is a place in your organization that you will fit nicely.
The protection of our students is paramount in the preservation of our Parrish, (or county,) state, and nation. The world view of future Americans will determine the nature of the United States of America, and the exposure during their formative years is instrumental in the building of their character. If we are to defend, and protect our great republic, we must defend, and protect the virtue of its citizens, and those future American adults are under continuous, and relentless assault.
Is this the time to surrender our next generations to the belly of the beast, or will we train up our children in the way they should go, that when they are old, they may not depart from it.
God bless you, Dave
