The War against Children and Families # 1 of 2

THE WAR AGAINST CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
It is a most profound historical message. Over the years, I have listened to this cassette tape about 20 times. It is a “Focus on the Family” tape, NRB 2002, “Engaging the Culture.” It needs to be reissued. Dr. James Dobson, author and psychologist spoke to the National Religious Broadcasting Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Feb. 16th, 2002. There were about 3500 persons in the audience. Here are a few excerpts.

“The world into which children are born now has become a very dangerous place. It’s changed tremendously. When you and I were kids … the culture reinforced positive values, attempted to help parents raise those kids properly, and now the culture is at war with parents and it is very, very difficult to get these kids through the minefield of adolescence without making major concerns.

“There is an attack on childhood. There are many people out there and I don’t want to overstate this, there are many people out there who see in children an opportunity to change the culture and they hate for the most part the Judeo-Christian value system and children are the vulnerable ones. And if they can get control of children, they can influence children and they can change the whole culture in one generation….

“It is breath-taking to what is taking place. I hope you are seeing it. I sit there in my desk in Colorado Springs, hear it very day and I wonder if anybody else is hearing it…. The children are ones who are at risk and boys especially are in the bull’s eye …Tell you what I want to do. Let’s talk about February. (2002) Let’s go back to Feb. 1st, two weeks and two days ago. I said this is coming like a tidal wave. What am I talking about?

“Well eight days ago, the N.E.A. (National Education Association) announced its policy that they are disseminating to school districts all over the country, that every child in every school and in every classroom in the nation should be taught homosexuality, what I would call propaganda.

“A child is in the public school for thirteen years and we are going to start in kindergarten. You’d think that wouldn’t happen and can’t happen. California’s legislature has already mandated that and as of Sept. (2002) when the kids come back to school this is what happened. Every classroom of every school of every year is being taught homosexual propaganda….

FDA (Food and Drug Administration) issued a statement saying that the morning after pill which allowed kids to have sex and then come and get medication the next day to eliminate any early pregnancy that might be there, and that ought to be distributed to kids without parental knowledge or approval. And two nights ago, 60 Women groups and Health groups endorsed that position of the FDA and wrote a citizen’s report that this is what ought to be the law of the land…. So it’s coming….”

In closing, things have gotten worse since 2002. However, on Nov. 8th, we can vote to protect children and teenagers and pass Proposition 73 the Parental Notification Initiative, and also reduce the N.E.A. financially by finally passing Proposition 75, Paycheck Protection Initiative. “You pay for your political and social agenda and I will pay for mine. But don’t force me as a public school teacher to pay for yours.”
Fraternally yours,

P.S. Proposition 73 and 75 failed in California.
