Why Does the Left Want to Kill Public Education?

September 15, 2012 in Ed Willing

By Ed Willing ANSWERING A FALSE QUESTION Recently a community voice from Shorewood, WI asked why the political right seems so intent on ending public education? This article is a response to his own. Wisconsin is the epicenter of public sector reforms and the heaven (or hell, depending what you believe) of public education reforms. He used a misguided historical revue to support his premise. That premise: that public education (presumably as we have it now, or under his vision or reform) is what those Puritans desired. Otherwise, why would he make such a blatant endorsement of the first colonists for public education? “Public education was a major goal for the early colonists.” Clearly, he’s trying to use the Puritan arrival as a wedge to make a broader point that Conservatives are somehow contradictory in their policies and rhetoric. He is correct. The first public school was in the home of a pastor, [...]

HOMESCHOOLING: An Alternative to the Progressive Indoctrination Machine

March 24, 2012 in Caitlin Nicholas, Contributors, Education Policy, Restoring Family

By: Caitlin Nicholas   “You can’t make socialists out of individualists. Children who know how to think for themselves  spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.” – John Dewey, 19th Century Philosopher, Education Reformer “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of Government in the next.” – Abraham Lincoln, Self-Educated, Lawyer, U.S. President   In the past couple of years, our public school system has become more and more inefficient. Schools also continue to cross the line, when it comes to what is being taught— or what is no longer taught— to our youth. Sex education is one of the most controversial –subjects taught to middle and high school students. Schools are no longer -emphasizing abstinence in health class. Schools are -educating students about birth control, safe sex, abortion, –including the best methods to use in order to prevent pregnancy. [...]

The Immoral Government and Our Moral Opportunity

March 12, 2012 in Charitable Social Services, Contributors, Health Care, Monica Frede, Restoring Family, Restoring God, Separation of Church and Culture

By Monica Frede Earlier this week, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, penned a letter in response to recent visits by White House officials to the group of Catholic Bishops. In an effort to soothe the fiery debate ignited in recent weeks due to the Obama Administration’s mandate on private insurers providing its customers contraception coverage, the church leaders and White House staff discussed “the options.” Dolan’s letter, addressed to his Conference of Catholic Bishops, reaffirms the unapologetic position by the White House: How fortunate that we as a body have had opportunities during our past plenary assemblies to manifest our strong unity in defense of religious freedom. We rely on that unity now more than ever as HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] seeks to define what constitutes church ministry and how it can be exercised. The HHS seeks to constitute church ministry and [...]

Separation of State… From Church – Protecting Faith

February 20, 2012 in Nancy Oliver, Restoring God, Separation of Church and Culture

By Nancy Oliver All across our nation we are in a constant battle between the concepts of what impact Religion of all kinds should play in our culture and our political decisions. A great majority of our Founders and the citizens of their infant nation were Christians whether Catholic or Protestant. In Europe the views of the Christian faith deeply mattered in most of the nations, but our Founders knew the young Republic was comprised of diverse faiths. Most Anglos were in accordance with much of their neighbors of faith, but still sought to practice their faith in a way in which the diversity of the religions were free to practice as they wished. Religion will always play a preeminent role in shaping the mentality of our Nation’s people. Mentality is what establishes the cultural guidelines that follow; if we are a culture that allows individual liberties then we must be a moral [...]

The Consequences of a God-less Government

February 19, 2012 in Christine Warren, Restoring God, Separation of Church and Culture

By Christine Warren When our founding fathers wrote the United States Constitution in 1787, how could they have ever known the depths of the dangers that our country could or would face by our own government? How could they have known the degree of deceit, lies, and corruption that our elected officials would engage in for the pursuit of power, money, and control? How could they have known the level of importance of dividing the government’s power into three separate branches with checks and balances? The Founding Fathers knew all this because they encountered some wicked men whom they fought against for their own freedoms and independence. They rebelled against the British for the “holy cause of liberty.” It was well-known that they were Godly men who humbled themselves, got down on their knees and prayed publicly to God frequently, asking for true repentance and reformation. They trusted in Him [...]
