Day 271 - Protecting Our Children In Schools

What happened to teachers teaching ABCs and 123s, manners and proper etiquette, as well as the Pledge of Allegiance with the words "one nation under God" included?

A new sex education curriculum that tsunami'd its way through our School Board and Legislature will now teach our 5th grade students that sex includes vaginal, oral, as well as anal sex. Kindergartners will now sit through a class that teaches them the opposite sex's body parts, as well as the medical terminology for these body parts. And instead of young children running off to a fun-filled arts class with paints and crafts, our children will instead be lined up and marched down the hall into a sex education class where a public school teacher will teach them about homosexuality and sexually transmitted disease.

My husband and I are debating private school for our younger two children. The problem is, it's SO expensive! The cost is about $450 per month per child, which is well worth the money, in my opinion, but the money is difficult to come up with. So shortly, my husband and I will be visiting our bank and discussing refinancing our home, and consolidating debt in order to accommodate the private school tuition.

What is this world coming to???? Fifty years ago, a child would be led in prayer by the teacher. Today, if a child brings a Bible to school and shares a testimony with another student, she faces expulsion. Fifty years ago, teachers demanded respect from their students and taught important subjects like math and English and History. Today, teachers want to become their pupils' friends, and they will now be teaching about anal sex.

Lord, help this country. We're falling fast....

Father, I pray that You might help us to come up with the money necessary to send our youngest two children to private school. I do not want to have my daughter taught about anal sex and homosexuality in a publicly-funded school system. Please, guide me and my husband as we navigate this slippery slope. You have blessed us with our girls, and we want raise them as You would have us raise them. amen.
