“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15
BEWARE! False prophets today are the false teachers who are like ravenous wolves. Wolves are out to destroy. No-one needs to tell us that what is being taught today in American public schools is increasingly false. False teaching slips in looking innocent and even helpful, but it can and will destroy America and the next generation of our children. All teachers in public schools are not personally false teachers, but some Christian teachers are being forced to go against their consciences and teach curriculum, parts of which are not only false but destructive, or lose their jobs. From the universities to kindergarten, people are being taught that wrong is right, and right is wrong. In these blogs, I am not equipped to address the sad situation in academia. But as a former schoolteacher and having been involved with education for over half a century, I am very concerned about what is being taught to children in public schools today. I hope you are too.
Already, and no doubt increasingly under the new political administration, government-run schools are forbidding prayer and patriotism, but promoting atheism and disrespect for the flag. They teach our children that their rights include abortion, gender identy, critical race theory, and re-writing history. Instead of educating children in truth, goodness, and beauty, they attempt to control children’s thinking regarding God, life, family, history, authority, and politics. This movement is very disturbing to thinking people, especially religious people.
I will be writing more on the subject of education, but for this week, I want to encourage you to become informed on what is being taught in the schools where you or your friends’ children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, attend. Educate yourself on the subject of childhood education. Go to the schools around you and ask to see the curricula. Don’t rely on the children to inform you on what they are being taught. Get it straight from the school. Don’t be afraid to ask. We still have the right to question in this country. Therefore, act now before we lose that freedom.
Next week I will make some suggestions to you if you are concerned about what is being taught to children in public schools. For this week, I just ask you to pay attention to what is going on in schools around you and pray about how you might be involved.
A lesson I have learned over the years is that God will use even me as his instrument to help educate his children. I am not an expert, but I care about children because God cares about children and wants them to learn truth. We know that ravenous wolves are out to teach falsehood so that they can control our children. I’m asking God to show me what he wants me to do about this. Will you ask him to show you too?
Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteIn VA schools we were shut down and then opened for 2-3 days a week. Parents were unable to help. Many young parents are simply unprepared to spend that much time with their children and teaching is not in their skillset. Some of my RBS ladies have stepped in to tutor and teach children who have been left behind in basic and necessary subjects.
The unintended consequences of teacher friendly curriculum, teaching to the test, school shutdowns, and working parents will leave many children at least a year behind. To make it worse, in VA if schools do not reach specific test goals funding is lost.
Sometimes the wolves are in the government administration.
Vivian, you are exactly right. The wolves are in the government and it will only get worse with the new administration. Please beware and pray about what you can do to help children learn the truth.
DeleteDear Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteI am listening! Keep talking. Beth
Yes, we are indeed facing an overwhelming danger. It has already eroded much of what we know as sacred - for our children and for our country. But God. God is faithful to His own, and He will show the way through even this. His hands are not tied, nor will He abandon His people. He has a way for each family. Let us fall to our knees and ask Him to reveal it, as well as give us the power to do it. For His name sake and for our children's well-being and eternal destiny. We will overcome the wicked one by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Rev. 12:11
