Homeschooling At the RanchParents and Patriots: Arise!By Charlene Sanders 01.21.02
Imagine one bright sunny Saturday morning you get up and decide: "It's so pretty out. It would be a nice day to go to the shooting range" and you proceed to get your guns and equipment ready.You also decide to take Junior along because not only would it be good for him, but you've been thinking that you've been remiss in not schooling him in the "shooting arts". And he's been acting a little distance toward you lately, too. Yep. You decide it's past time you took him shooting. Good bonding...Junior on the other hand, has over the last several years been quite literally brainwashed with deliberately false information designed to drive a wedge between himself and you. And he's been getting these lies from school.When you ask Junior if he'd like to go, he very placidly, and with an ominously steady voice says, "Dad, you know that you really don't have the right to own a gun"."What?", you can't believe your ears! "What did you say?" You question Junior further."Yes, well, Mr. Nipper says that the 2nd Amendment doesn't recognize an individual right to have a gun." ***************************This is a bad situation, but the "why" behind it is worse than you could imagine. Yes, and why has your child's teacher been filling your child's head full of this bovine excrement?Because it's the law. That's why.HR 1 which is the "No Child Left Behind" banner which then "candidate" Bush campaigned under, authorizes a company in California to write the standards (curriculum) for the subjects of Civics and Government in your child's classroom.Ahem! This is curriculum authorized by the FEDERAL GUMMINT.I traveled last week with a friend, Laura and her daughter, Emily to a city in Missouri to attend an education conference.Most of the speakers were stellar personalities, and some were not so well known. Some I hadn't even heard of before. But all were experts in their field and all had earned academic degrees.Dr. Judith Reisman, www.drjudithreisman.org the lady who single-handedly exposed the fraudulent scientific "research" of the homosexual pedophile, Dr. Alfred Kinsey was there. This scholarly lady has written the definitive work on Kinsey with, "Kinsey, Crimes and Consequences" available on her website. (Pay particular attention to some of the articles found here as well.)Also, the Director of Research for RSVP America www.rsvpamerica.org, Dr. Linda Jeffrey from Kentucky. She has coordinated the campaign's data collection and analysis efforts regarding the Kinsey Report's impact on state criminal codes in thirty states. (No small task this!)Dr. Scott Lively www.abidingtruth.com graduate magna * laude of Trinity Law School. Founder and President of Abiding Truth Ministries and the nation's only legal organization devoted exclusively to opposing the "gay" agenda in schools.Alan and Julie Quist www.MrEdCo.com were there as well. Mr. Quist holds a B.A. from Gustavus Adolphus College, and a M.A. from Mankato State University PLUS a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary. He's been a professor of Psychology (1968-82) and since 1999, a professor of World Politics at Bethany Lutheran College.Dr. David Noebel was there as well. www.summit.org He holds a BA from Hope College, an MA from the University of Tulsa and was a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. He is Founder and President of Summit Ministries founded in 1962. College professor, college president and candidate for US Congress, he is an expert on worldview analysis and the decline of morality and spirituality in Western Civilization.Dr. Michael Coffman; www.discerningtoday.org and www.epi.freedom.org He received his BS in Forestry and MS in Biology at Northern Arizona University and his Ph.D. in Forest Science at the University of Idaho. He spent ten years at a Michigan Tech University, a leading forestry school in research and teaching. He is responsible for the forest ecosystem classification in Upper Michigan and Northern Wisconsin and as such helped the US Forest Service in developing an Ecological Land Classification System for all National Forests in Region 9. He's past Chairman of the Forest Health group within the National Council for the Paper Industry for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) and in this position was responsible for millions of dollars of research into such issues as acid rain, global climate change, wetlands, cumulative effects biological diversity.Karen Effrem, M.D. was in attendance also. Researcher of children's health, political and educational issues for 9 years, she has authored research papers on these topics for the Center of the American Experiment and the Minnesota Family Council, as well as the data privacy chapter in Allan Quist's book, "The Seamless Web" available on the MrEdCo website. She has testified before Congress on student data collection, testing and the over-prescription of psychotropic drugs (Ritalin). She has been involved in the drafting of and testifying for legislation related to removing Minnesota from the Goals 2000 and School-To-Work system of government, for medical and academic privacy and against mandatory hepatitis B vaccinations in Ohio. Her interviews have appeared in radio and television markets, WorldNetDaily and NewsMax. She has a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy from Purdue University and a medical degree from Johns Hopkins University.Dr. Jonathan Wells appeared as well. He received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California Berkeley in 1994 with a specialization in embryology and evolution. Also he has a Ph.D. in Theology from Yale University in 1986. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for the renewal of Science and Culture, Discovery Institute, Seattle. His most recent work is an analysis of the PBS special from the Fall of 2001, "Getting the Facts Straight: A Viewer's Guide to PBS's 'Evolution". His book, "Icons of Evolution" destroys the lies in Science textbooks, line by line and document by document with cold, hard scientific fact.Of course there were other notables as well: John Stormer, Phyllis Schlafly, Dr. Christinia Hoff-Sommers, Senator Michelle Bachmann (MI), Michael Chapman, Congressman Todd Akin (MO), former Senator Joan Gubbins, Donna Hearne, Karen Holgate, Richard Innes, Dr. Michael Poliakoff, and Representative Sam Rohrer (PA). These folks all gathered in St. Louis to give the latest in education updates. These are people who are in the trenches, doing the in-depth research and finding out the why's and wherefore's for us all.Alan Quist brought the most sensational bit of information (at least to this writer) I'd heard in a while. He said it was a "hidden curriculum" This is NOT my opinion, belief, or view. The following, ladies and gentlemen, is FACT. I saw and handled these texts with my own hands.In 1994 when HR6 was made into law it specifically authorized a company in California, The Center for Civic Education to write the standards (curricula) for the subjects of Civics and Government (sometimes two separate courses in school.) They, in turn, published a very patriotic looking book, "National Standards for Civics and Government". It has a light-blue cover and pictures the Statue of Liberty on the front. How patriotic! By the way, it is interesting to note that this book was published the very same year as their authorization to write the standards: 1994. (Smell a rat, anyone?)One year later, they published a for-school-use textbook called "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution" This is a very impressive volume; not very large, but lots of colorful, patriotic pictures and a cover that is striking with it's red, white and blue theme. This book, we were told, CONTAINS the federal standards (curricula) for civics and government and is not required to be used, but schools frequently DO use it for the sake of convenience. When President Bush signed in to law HR1, he further authorized the Center for Civic Education to continue publishing the curricula for the nation, thus federalizing education for our school children and permanently eradicating any notion of "local control". It has vanished into the mist along with our fondest hopes for our children's future. One of the other speakers at the conference said that this control of education was likened to a pair of booster rockets taking the space shuttle into space. Once the shuttle was in "orbit" around the earth (curricular frameworks in place across the nation) the booster rockets are no longer needed and fall away. (STW is defunded and we forever have a "planned economy" just like Marc Tucker and Hillary Clinton have envisioned.) Voila! Instant Fascism. And most people are still left in the dust wondering why their children aren't learning "the basics"!!Pay close attention now because Auntie Charlene is going to tell you something very troubling about this very book. It's troubling because it is the law of the land. This may explain some very strange occurrences in our schools since 1994.In the teacher's edition of "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution" it very bluntly says: the Second Amendment recognizes NO INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS."Are you sick yet?That's not the "best" part. In the selected bibliography in the teacher's edition, it lists ONE book referencing the section on the 2nd Amendment. And this book, is entitled, "Teaching the Bill of Rights: The Case of the Second Amendment"...published by none other than: (are you ready?) The Center to Prevent Handgun Violence.Yup. The Brady Bunch.The student edition of the book merely strongly infers that idea but does not come out blatantly with the same speech. After all, Junior may happen to take his textbook home and they can't run the risk of spoiling their "hand" because the card game isn't over yet.This whole pukey mess is funded by the United States Department of Education and Pew Charitable Trusts.And you and I are paying for this with our $$$$$.I'm telling you, once again, that parents and patriots need to jerk their kids out of the publik skools and either homeschool them, or find a conservative private school, or church school (and again you have to be careful even with these!). Keep the kind of relationship with your kids that you have an "open door" policy, meaning this: They need to know they can come to you and tell you literally anything. There needs to be that "door" that they know they can approach you through without any sort of fear. Yeah, they may have done wrong in a situation. Heck! You may have done the wrong thing! But the important thing is: KEEP THAT DOOR OPEN!It may mean the difference sometime in the future. You never know what you're going to be up against.Charlene Sanders Hot Springs, Arkansas charlie@hsnp.com http://www.sierratimes.com/02/02/02/homeschool.htm
