Rewriting textbooks for our schools

If I was a parent I would be screaming my lungs out at anyone who would listen about what the Progressives are doing to the American school system! They are trying to brainwash every young person in this country into thinking the atrocities that we know happened, are just a myth and they didn't really happen. THEY DID! and if you, as a parent, do not check into what the history books are teaching, then you are as guilty as the ones doing it! Get a history book that is used by your child and READ IT!  Also you need to aware of what has been put into the textbook and curriculum as well as what has been taken out.  And do not rely on the teachers.  Many are young enough that they don’t the difference themselves and educators, like artists seem the first be brainwashed whenever you look back into history!! Then do something about it!! And take some time to read or at least scan the articles and watch the videos in The Dumbing Down of America Series: http://knowledgecreatespower.blogspot.com/2009/10/dumbing-down-of-america-series_10.html   There really is a lot of important and eye-opening information in there if you have not been following this subject!!

This is a call to action for all parents, grandparents and concerned Americans. As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction!” This is a fight worth fighting even if you do not consider yourself political or an activist.  It is for your children and grandchildren!! D/M~
Right now, the Texas public school system is embroiled in a major battle over efforts to re-write our history and remove references to our Judeo-Christian heritage from their textbooks.  Yet Islam, in many areas is taught as the truth.

The Texas State Board of Education will soon finalize the language that publishers use to align their textbooks to current "acceptable standards." Many of the suggestions that are coming forward are shocking:

+Replacing the term "American" with "Global Citizen."
+Stating that students need to be shaped "for responsible citizenship in a global society."
+Removing all references to Daniel Boone, General George, Patton, Nathan Hale, and Columbus Day.
+Replacing "expansionism and free enterprise" with "imperialism and capitalism."
+Even stripping "Christmas Day" from all textbooks.
And since it is one of the nation's largest states, Texas greatly influences the textbooks and ultimately the curricula employed by many other states.  Tens of millions of children will likely be impacted… if not more
++That's why we MUST "Take Back America" in 2010

Mathew Staver on The Huckabee Show this Weekend to Discuss Changes to Textbooks

www.LC.org

This weekend Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, will appear on Mike Huckabee’s show to discuss potentially dramatic changes to the framework of textbooks that are being discussed by the Texas State Board of Education (TSBOE). Huckabee and Staver will be revealing suggested changes, some of which are still under discussion. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, Eastern Time.

TSBOE will soon finalize the language that textbook publishers use to align their textbooks to current standards. As Texas is a leader in textbooks, most other states purchase the same educational materials. The textbook controversy in Texas affects every American because, to have a bright future, we must know our past.. America has a rich past founded on Judeo-Christian values and to forget them, or worse, to distort them, will doom our future. Those who want to reshape America begin by rewriting our past. We repeat the mistakes of the past when we are ignorant of them.

Some of the suggestions that have come forward at various times include:

  • Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas.
  • Including the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.
  • Replacing the term "American" with "Global Citizen"– stating that students need to be shaped "for responsible citizenship in a global society" without any mention of citizenship in American society.
  • Replacing expansionism and free enterprise with imperialism and capitalism.

The Board's next meeting is in March and the final reading and adoption of the social studies guidelines will be in May.

Make your voice heard now, before the next meeting. Please call the board at 512-463-9734 and encourage them to promote traditional, pro-American language in their guidelines, or you may email them at sboeteks@tea.state.tx.us.

LU Law School Hosts Conference on the Consequences of Same-Gender Attraction

Liberty University School of Law will host a one-day conference followed by a one-day symposium addressing homosexuality and its consequences. The Friday, February 12, conference is entitled “Understanding Same-sex Attractions and Their Consequences.” On Saturday, February 13, the Liberty University Law Review will host a legal symposium entitled “Homosexual Rights and First Amendment Freedoms: Can They Truly Coexist?”

Those struggling with same-sex attractions need understanding and hope for a life without conflict, so it is imperative to understand the implications of same-sex attraction and the broader homosexual agenda. The broader homosexual agenda has politicized radicalism of homosexuality that is aggressive and intent on trampling upon the fundamental freedoms of anyone who may disapprove.

For more information, please contact Liberty University School of Law at 434-592-5300 or visit http://law.liberty.edu.

Review Agendas for Friday and Saturday to see the extraordinary list of speakers.

Let's see them change this!

BE SILENT NO LONGER!

Over front of the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is looking toward center, where facing forward in full frontal view is Moses holding the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington , D.C.

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:
" We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
Patrick Henry, patriot and one of the Founders of our country said:

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy - the rule of few over many.

The very first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay, said:

"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

That being said, 

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?  How could we let this happen????  When are we going to do something about it??

Why are you so afraid to show you are Christian?? 

What happened to those brave "Christian soldiers" who joyfully sang our "Battle Hymn" while marching for God and Country to face death ??? 

Where are my Christians brethren??? 

Where are the Patriots???

Where are the defenders???

Where are you??? 

Why are you hiding?? 

Oh yea of little faith......stand up for God or be eternally damned for He is watching, He knows, He is marking the "book".  Every time our faith is challenged and you fail to be strong, He knows.  Every time our faith is marginalized and you let is continue, He knows..remember that when you send Him your prayers..  If you want Him to hear you, I hope you hear Him and rise to the occasion every time His name is disparaged.  Every time our faith is knocked down.  Every time the Progressives attack Him.  Stand up like the Founders did.  That is why we won then and why we will win now....We have God on our side.....do not let Him down.

Chamber, US House of Representatives

It is said that 86% of Americans are Christians and believe in God. Therefore, it is very difficult to understand why there is such a fuss about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having "Under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance or Christ in Christmas, a sacred Christian Holiday celebrating the birth of our FOUNDER Jesus Christ..

Why don't we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!! 

Spit out the gage of Political Correctness. For too long we have suppressed our voice and have been intimidated into being silent. 

NOW IS THE TIME.

Be Silent No Longer

Do not be intimidated by the Progressives.  It is not old fashioned to show our faith in

public.  Pray over your meals, even in restaurants in public..  Show them that there are

some Christians who are not afraid to show their love of God. Do not be afraid, Be

Strong, be determined, be polite but be not timid, BE SILENT NO LONGER.

Our Founders based our system of laws on the Christian values of their Churches..

It could be said that God was one of the Founding Fathers of our Country.  Let us

as Christians then be unafraid and defend our faith and put God back into

America.  Let us as Christians stand up and be counted.  Let us as Christians be

unafraid to speak up for God.  This country was founded on Judeo/Christian

values by God fearing, God loving Christians and as long as we keep God in the

public venue this country shall not perish from this earth.  For God loves us and

protects our Country as did our Founders...........

CHRISTIANS AND JEWA BE SILENT NO LONGER!!!!!

Thank you,

Tony Passaro - Christian, Patriot, Veteran
