In defiance of the ridiculously stupid, blue led state we live in, my home county has declared itself a "constitutional county". That means they will fight any efforts bythe state to encroach upon citizens constitutional rights.
This fight was led by a dear Christian friend of many years, named Brenda, whom I have known for many years. Brenda is not only highly intelligent, she is also highly articulate, and is a published author..
Many people look around and ask, "Why are things so upside down and crazy today"? Brenda answered them on her website, with a clear, concise explanation... educational...see below;
Do you hear the knock of our own cultural revolution?
In 1966, Mao launched his “cultural revolution” in China for the purpose of asserting his authority over the people. To solidify that authority, he crushed traditional loyalties, destroying anything that the Chinese people might possibly view as greater than he. The old had to go. Old customs. Old culture. Old habits. Old ideas. They had to go if Mao was to become the god he desired to be. The crushing of the old didn’t enrich the lives of the people. It devasted them.
Do you hear the knock? It is our very own cultural revolution. For decades, it tapped politely on the doors of our institutions. And one by one we opened those doors. Academia. Media. Corporations. Entertainment. Medical. Science. Courts. Legislatures. Governors’ mansions and the White House. The family. The mainstream church. The cultural revolution comes cloaked with promises… and conditions. And among the conditions lies this demand: the old must go.
The traditional nuclear family with Mom, Dad, and Children. That’s an old custom, and old idea, an outdated habit of a bigoted culture. It must go.
Parents with both the right and responsibility of raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. An old value. Crush it! Convince people that religious virtue is to be only personal and kept separate from “the state.” Then, intricately link the institutions of the culture to the state so that “separation of church and state” becomes the separation of church from everything. Church? That’s just something private and personal, no longer cultural. It might impact you, but it must not impact culture and you must learn that when you leave your home, your biblical worldview must not. After all, it's old. If you want to worship such a relic in the privacy of your increasingly smaller and smaller personal space, feel free. But do not attempt to bring it into any conversation or public dialogue with you! It's hate speech!
Sexual purity? No need for that. After all, we are evolved animals with drives and appetites and urges we need not control. Restraining our desires is old, so we must cast aside such antiquated wholesomeness and embrace an ideology of a sexual free-for-all, the type that leaves broken lives and confused souls scattered and marred along its jagged path.
A world in which objective reality was at one time acknowledged must be abandoned. Two genders? No more! Reality? No more! Facts? What are they? They are old! Demolish them and replace them with perplexity and make sure the perplexity is imposed first and foremost upon the young. Sexualize the young. Cause them to doubt the worth of the ways of the parents. Cause them to doubt the worth of the parents. Parents? What are they? They are old! They are needless! The State surely can rear the young better than the sperm and egg donors from which they came! Promise to the sperm and egg donors – formerly known as Mom and Dad – that life can be good if they trust the State. Go…go…go… spend hours and hours pursuing your career or working your work. We’ll watch over the children. We’ll feed them. We’ll teach them. We’ll mold them. We’ll make them…into our image… the image of the new… the image of the State. They won’t even need to think any longer. After all, independent thinking is an old custom. We will addict them to electronics. We’ll sprinkle in some pornography. We’ll legalize dope. We’ll tell them they are victims. Power to the people? NO! That's old! Now it is power to the State! Individuals mattered in the old. But not now. It's groups now. Collective. It's now the State and its devoted institutions, populated with virtue signaling bureaucrats, that matter….
And this is why I care about public education…because it is the vehicle through which the cultural revolution is being imposed upon us. Ultimately, public education is an institution from which parents (yes, parents) must grab their children and flee. Parents (yes, parents) have been told that the experts know how to educate the next generation and they don’t. Dear parents… that’s a lie. You are the best educator of your children. You are more equipped than you realize to teach your children what they need to know. You see, public education has become the place where goodness and virtue go to die. From the ash heap rises diversity, equity, and inclusion. Nice sounding words, but rotten to the core. Dear parents, the cultural revolutionaries are wrong. The old ideas, the old habits, the old customs, and the old culture… these are the better way. You are capable of teaching your children what the public schools (and many private ones to boot) have ceased to teach: virtue, character, grit, and resilience.
The cultural revolutionaries want to destroy your family. Be counter-revolutionary and tell them, NO WAY. Change your life, make the sacrifices that need to be made…and resist what the State and the elites are trying to do to your children. You are the expert where your children are concerned. The State, on the other hand, is just the bully.
And I end this long-winded tirade with this: we and our children need the LORD. Seek Him and take your children on that journey of discovery with you. You will not regret it.
