Highlight: Indoctrination in Education

The Myth of Neutrality in Education

One good thing to talk when we talk about homeschooling and getting your children out of government schools as soon as possible, one of the the the issues is the problem of the myth of neutrality. We have gone about government and education in a way that Christians historically would have scoffed at.

The idea that you can somehow educate children and do it apart from the authority of Christ or apart from biblical worldview, we can just approach the whole thing with neutrality. It's impossible. Neutrality is a myth, and one of the things that you're seeing a lot lately is just how obvious it is, and let me do this.

We've got a couple clips here. We're not gonna spend too much time on this today, but I think there's some beneficial ones. You know, I've told a story about when I was convicted and challenged after reading a book for seminary, Always Ready by Greg Bonson.

If you don't have it, sell your shirt and shoes and buy the book Always Ready. Read it, digest it, understand it. It's very important. But I got really challenged because I was so opposed to Christian schooling and homeschooling.

I mean, I was militant in opposition, and I read that book, was totally challenged. Knowledge isn't really possible apart from Christ. You can't justify it, and man, what are they doing to my kids in this school?

So I started thinking these hard thoughts, and then my kids are coming home saying, hey, we read a book in class. Heather has two mommies, I think is what it was called, and then I was asked to do an art masterpiece class with my daughter's class, just like a parent assistance thing for art, and when I went to pick up the materials to teach the curriculum for this art class, it was all evolution.

It was all like, you know, we evolved from lower bacteria, then moved up the chain, and people were in caves, and they were like, and drawing into walls sort of a thing, like, you know. But that's what it taught, and so I knew then, I was like, this is not neutral.

I mean, this is an art class for preschoolers, or sorry, kindergartners, and look what they're doing. They're indoctrinating immediately, and I took over the class, by the way, and taught a creation worldview and demonstrated that that curriculum was wrong, and the teacher loved it, but she wasn't able to teach that.

I was, because I was the assistant that day, and so at any rate, you know, moving forward, for me, it's been about 17 years, somewhere around there, 15, 17 years of homeschooling, I think,.

And.

It's only gotten worse.

Oh, yeah.

And it's only gotten to the place where it is so overt and so in your face, I'm so thankful Christians can't deny it anymore. Like, you just can't. Yeah. You can't deny it. There's a lot of these LGBT teachers and leftist teachers, libs on TikTok that are just open and clear and excited about what they're doing to your kids.

Preschool Indoctrination and Sexualized Curriculum

So get your kids out. Here is one example.

Story time. This has been my first year in preschool with a class of my own teaching alongside another queer neurodivergent educator, and we have been rocking R2's class. We've been talking about gender and skin color and consent and empathy and our bodies and autonomy.

It's been fabulous. But our teaching team is shifting and a new person is being onboarded, someone with many years of experience. So today at the lunch table, when the topic of gender and genitals came up, one of our students plainly looked up and said, well, I'm a girl today, but I know that teacher Ko isn't.

No, they're enby. And the look on the incoming teacher's face was priceless. She was shocked in a good way. And she just looked around at the two of us and said, this class is incredible. And I am so impressed.

Consent with preschool? Goodness gracious.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying there used to be a word for people that would bring up sexual situations with young children. Groomers. There used to be a word for that. Pedophiles, groomers. It used to be considered.

I don't even know like what the technical definition anymore, but it used to be considered sexual abuse for you to bring up topics.

Yeah.

Two children of this age. Right. Right. Exactly.

And so as I bring that brings up this book that I was, I mean, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, but if you guys haven't seen this, it's called It's Perfectly Normal. And this has come up a lot recently because there's been different teachers trying to use this book like for I think it was like kindergartners or like really young kids.

Okay. And it's been being banned from different school systems. But I mean, it's literally like it's basically like cartoon drawings of sexual stuff. It's basically porn. Um, and it's it's called It's Perfectly Normal and it's it's awful and that's exactly what this is.

Only like in detail and they're trying to teach it to little kids. It's just yeah, it's it's I'm angry.

Christ’s Exclusive Authority and the Rejection of Neutrality

More more evidence that there is no neutrality. It is a myth. Embrace it. I mean, you can't get clearer than Jesus Christ, God incarnate saying you're either with me or you are against me. There's no middle ground with Jesus.

And so you're either submitted to him and his authority. You're either united to him by faith or you're not. And you know we could we could go for days on this discussion. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. You cannot educate apart from Christ in any justifiable meaningful way. Everything will be suspended in mid-air. Yes, you can give someone a brute fact, but there is no understanding, no knowledge, no wisdom.

And believe me, there is ample evidence that these teachers are teaching your children what the government educational system wants them to teach them. Is it obvious to us at all that all of this perversion, all of this brokenness, all of this confusion is coming out of the West?

It's coming from our education system. It's coming from academia, coming from us. I mean Matt Walsh does a great job going to this faraway land showing this tribe that's totally disconnected. And it's like they don't have any confusion about these things at all.

Where's it coming from? He's right. Matt Walsh was right. It's coming from the West. We're pumping this stuff out to the world. Where's it coming from? It's not just coming from media. I think that's an appendage.

The media aspect is an appendage. It's coming from a heart, right? It's coming from like a core system that's feeding that media stuff. But it's coming from education. Our kids are being taught in school that you are an evolved African ape.

You are just stardust. You are meaningless protoplasm in a universe that doesn't care about you. The decisions you make with your genitals are your decisions. You can do what you please. There's no moral odds above anybody.

And you know, if you don't like your genitals, you don't like your gender, just say that you're something else. Just pretend like you're something else. It was said, and we said this last time, last show, I think we said this, government education, public education system is actually new, newer in American history.

Before that, education was all Christian. It was private. It was family, churches. It was communities. And it was done very well. And matter of fact, I challenge you, look at the statistics when education was the way we had it as a Christian church.

Look at the statistics of how well we were doing in terms of literacy and all of that. I mean, some of the greatest heavy hitters in American history came from homeschooling, from private education. My great-great-great-great-grandfather, he was a chaplain over Congress.

He did some amazing things. He was actually an old school Methodist preacher, defended the Trinity publicly, all kinds of really great stuff. But his father died when he was 13 years old. All of his brothers and sisters and him were homeschooled.

By the time he was 18 years old, he had taught himself Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, homeschooled, and went to college, started college already knowing the biblical languages. And that was all homeschool education.

So people say, oh, homeschooled, you're going to get this abysmal education. It's like we were doing fine. And back then, pastors warned, they're on record, warning the culture, if you give education over to the state, it's a fast track to atheism and unbelief and the destruction of our nation.

And they were.

Right.

They were right. And so get your kids out of public education as soon as you can.
