The following email came as in response to an email about
the brainwashing (otherwise known as "programming") students are
experiencing in the government schools.
Resistance Isn't Futile!
I had to reply to
this, being as I am a 20-something.
A big reason that this "deprogramming" is
necessary is because of the education system which exists today. Time is taken away from learning things
such as math, history, and English in order to learn how to be more
"socially responsible". I
spent a good part of my last year in high school learning how to humbly repent
for the mistakes of some people's ancestors years ago who were involved with
slavery.
I was taught how to hug trees, tolerate homosexuality, and
why guns are bad. Luckily, I was
born with a brain and I had parents who taught me how to use it. I was kicked out of a government class
when I asked my teacher to explain to me how a rational person can be
pro-abortion and against the death penalty.
We are taught that sex is OK – just use protection. And if you do become pregnant, the
school will be happy to provide us with a list of resources in order to avoid
discussing the situation with our parents.
We spend so much time learning about drugs and alcohol in
school that we are dying to try them just to find out what the hype is about.
And I won't even start on smoking.
In essence, we need to see parents who choose public
education for their children to actively participate with the schools.
Find out what your kids are being taught. Don't just sign permission slips without
reading them. Most
of all, pay attention to the educational materials being used.
What magazines are subscribed to in order to teach current
events? I was taught, no joke, that
democrats were the people who cared about the nation, while republicans were
put into office to protect the rich.
Your children may be hearing the same things. Do you honestly want a teacher who
cannot keep their own political views from interfering with a child's
education?
Anyway, just my two cents. Sometimes it is
difficult being so young and so outspoken when it comes to my political stance,
especially civil rights. A lot of
times I am not taken seriously, which is OK.
However, I feel that I have maintained this level head and
concern for my rights and welfare because of the time taken by my mother to
teach me that using my brain was OK, despite what the school system taught me.

Well, Heather, you certainly have my attention! You will undoubtedly have the attention
of many who read this! Thank you
for using your brains and sticking to your principles! We need more young people like you.
