Something dear!

This blog is about something dear. It tells us of the past and gives us a glimpse of the future. No, not me and my past, but a past that has shaped all of us. This blog is to you. It is done for the sake of your children and my children. A most important part of the future is the education these precious beings, made in the image of God, will receive! But what education will that be? Will our children be taught by the public education system? Will they be taught by us, their parents? It is my desire that the later will be the goal for which every one of you will fight. But, you ask, why should we fight with the purpose to educate our children when there are those out there who have been trained to do it? Are they not better qualified? Is not the curriculum they use far more affective than what I can give my children? This blog is here to answer a question that should be asked even before any of these. Ask this question: “What are they going to teach my child?” No matter who educates children, we must know what they are being taught at this crucial time in life. That is what I am going to strive to present here.
The information that I am going to share is taken directly from the work of one who is far more qualified than myself in the area of education today. I will be quoting out of a book called The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, authored by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt. To read her biography click the following link: The Author . I was exposed to this book and after reading only a small portion, I asked myself: “Why have I not heard this crucial information before?” I was surprised to find that this book was not very widely circulated. It shares information about today's education that is available in few other places. The strength of this book is that is tells you what education today is meant to do--not from the perspective of someone who is opposing it, but from those who manage it. They tell us what they are doing. Read and see.
Who is this book for? Is it for those who have children in the public educational system? Yes! Is it for those who are trying to decide whether or not to send their children there? Yes! Is it written for those who home educate? Yes! This book is for anyone who cares about young people today! Children are the future. They are the next generation of leaders. What shapes them, will shape the future!
After reading the snip-its from this book, judge for yourself what the children are being taught! It is my hope that the little bits that you read will encourage you to think seriously about the education of our children. If you would like to read the entire book but do not want to buy it, it can be downloaded free online from: The Book.
