Hannah Winthrop, one of our Founding Mothers said this:
“How often do we see people blind to their own interests precipitately maddening on to their own destruction!”
That is exactly who we are today in America. This might be a bit challenging to accept, but Liberty is probably one of the most challenging things in our world.
Recall recently that a football coach, of a government school, held a public baptism on the government school football field in the presence of his football team. The school suspended him and the Christian public went nuts.
Now, a teacher, of a government school, took out her tarot cards in the government school classroom, and began to explain how they work and even do a “reading” in the classroom. And the Christian public is going nuts.
You cannot have it both ways in the government school system. If you want your government school teacher to be able to have baptisms on school property with students, then a different teacher has to be defended reading her tarot cards.
Bottom line is this… government pays for government schools by forcing people to pay taxes to fund them. It is not a choice. So if government is forcing them to pay for the schooling then the schools must teach all things reflective of the body funding the school. If the school will teach Christianity and allow Christian rituals to be conducted on school property by government employees, then they must also teach EVERY religion reflected in that taxpayer base and allow every government teacher to openly and freely express their faith on school grounds.
So if Christians want to do baptisms, they need to be quiet about satanic rituals, tarot cards, and Islamic calls to prayer. Period.
The only solution? Leave teaching faith where it belongs, in the home, the churches and the PRIVATE schools. Government has no business being involved in the instruction of faith.
NOTE: The above facts DO NOT apply to the students! Students are NOT government employees and SHOULD NOT be limited in their faith speech or faith expressions. Schools MUST leave the students to pray, study and share their faith on school breaks, where clothing reflective of their faith and even complete homework assignments speaking of their faith when consistent with the assignment. Interestingly enough…even the federal Dept. of Ed. believes this to be true. But in our ignorance we allow intolerant and ignorant bullies to silence our children.
Maddening on to our own destruction. Our ignorance is enslaving us. It is time to get educated.
KrisAnne Hall is an attorney and former prosecutor, fired after teaching the Constitution to TEA Party groups – she would not sacrifice liberty for a paycheck. She is a disabled veteran of the US Army, a Russian linguist, a mother, a pastor’s wife and a patriot. She now travels the country and teaches the Constitution and the history that gave us our founding documents. KrisAnne Hall does not just teach the Constitution, she lays the foundations that show how reliable and relevant our founding documents are today. She presents the “genealogy” of the Constitution– the 700 year history and five foundational documents that are the very Roots of American Liberty.
