To everyone who chooses to ridicule our Lord Jesus Christ, first let me say that Jesus loves you regardless of what you say about Him. He frankly, doesn't care about your words.
WE ARE ABOUT PRESERVING OUR FAITH, LIBERTY,
MORALITY & VIRTUE!
I am a Mimi Speaking for the "Children's Voices"! The important thing to remember is not what grades they earn, but what indoctrination is taking place! Indoctrination is the name of the game today!
I am not a teacher, but a grandmother and a great-grandmother who loves children and I hate what is happening to our country overseen by men and women who are not educators and what they are doing to our children through their education. Our country has lost 2 generations to a massive "dumbing down" campaign and this must stop!
We are about children and the fact that our government is making their futures a "manufactured" plan through legislation. Our children are individuals, not to be treated as one in the same -
They learn differently, mature differently - they are INDIVIDUALS!
They learn differently, mature differently - they are INDIVIDUALS!
Most parents will agree that the future of any country is based on their children and how they are raised and by what they are taught. Our founders all had strong opinions regarding the education of our children.
It is interesting to note that the study of Latin and Greek, which is what the term “classical education” originally implied, was not something they learned in college, but something they were expected to know before they got there. An additional note is this education also included the Bible, so for those that state our founders were not Christian, I might suggest you return to school.
Thomas Jefferson received early training in Latin, Greek, and French from Reverend William Douglas, a Scottish clergyman.
When Alexander Hamilton entered King’s College (now Columbia University) in 1773, he was expected to have a mastery of Greek and Latin grammar, be able to read three orations from Cicero and Virgil’s Aeneid in the original Latin, and be able to translate the first ten chapters of the Gospel of John from Greek into Latin.
When James Madison applied at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton), he was expected to be able to “write Latin prose, translate Virgil, Cicero, and the Greek gospels and [to have] a commensurate knowledge of Latin and Greek grammar.
There is a reason that many parents are so interested in teaching our children about the men who founded the United States of America, and it goes beyond just becoming familiar with who they were and what they did. It is extremely important that our children also understand the hard work and the losses they faced in building this country. If our children are not taught this, then they will have no allegiance to our country - they cannot support what they don't know!
More than just teaching our children about these men through the histories and biographies that tell the story of their lives, many of us are interested in our children becoming more like them. The Founding Fathers possessed two characteristics that distinguished them from other men of their time—and from most men in any time: wisdom and virtue. It is these qualities that we admire most about them and that we would most like to see in our own children. More important than just admiring them for these traits, we should strive to understand how they became this way.
And, it does seem today all the warnings they gave us through their words and the documents they provided are falling into place.

Compared to 40 other modernized countries, the United States currently ranks 17th in literacy, 17th in math, 21st in science out of 40 according to the recent report put out by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD).
These continual poor performance rankings persist despite spending more on education than any other country with the exception of Switzerland, who ranks in the top five in education. Unfortunately most of the money spent, is not actually being spent on our childrens education, but employment positions with the various Departments of Education, funds paid out through "free give-away" programs which have never worked and the massive amounts being charged by Charter School Management companies and other corporations through public-private partnerships set up by state legislators within our various states.
Currently, only 64% of students who begin college graduate within six years. Those who do graduate have collectively amassed over one trillion dollars in long term student debt. It is of no surprise that over 72% of students who have finished college in the past three years have moved back in with their parents. Additionally, young adults between the ages of 18-26 also have the highest unemployment rate in this country putting further strain on middle class families.
The U.S. tops the world list in 2010 in spending $860 Billion dollars on public education which is a 30% increase from the $660.5 Billion spent in 2000. All of this increase has come from the Federal level while in the same period state and local government spending has been relatively flat, between $28-29 billion per year. So if hundreds of billions has been spent on public education over the past decade by our Federal government then why are schools so desperately in need of more funds and we are seeing staff size being reduced (not administrative staff) across the country in our public schools?
Never ever forget to include the massive number of individuals employed by your state and Federal departments of education and their salaries, pensions and medical care are included in the total funding numbers. All the spending for educAtion is certainly not focused on your chikldren directly.
What few outside the public school system realize is that more and more of what material the educators can teach and how they must instruct to achieve standardized national test scoring is tied to the schools receiving critical funding each and every year.
School administrators spend copious amounts of time and energies applying for grants and reviewing, comprehending and complying with yearly changes in federal and state codes and regulations while annually having to pink slip staff each Spring not knowing how much funding will be cut the following school year.

Almost all of us have a family even if it is one parent, but there usually is an extended family to grow with. Family structure, beliefs, faith and respect for each other is what will preserve America. You can see the difference in the children being schooled today into this rotten forced education of Common Core, the children rising above it have structure, faith and the support of their families.
People who come here and no longer want to be a part of us, but change our country into what they left will not work. If you came here to change America, then please take your ideas back home and change your own country to be better.
This website has no support for the United Nations, an organization that was created for the exclusive purpose of overseeing the One World Government when Progressives and Elites get to the point they feel they can declare the world under that umbrella. Nations from around the world have paid into the United Nations billions of dollars since its inception over 60 years ago and the very country's we were told they were going to help are still just as poor and remain under the control of dictators. It is not the failt of the decent country's of the world that the United Nations "chose" go give the funds to help the poor countries to their dictators and the people never have seen any of the money.
Under the umbrella of the United Nations are the workings of UNESCO and UNICEF. Again, the money never goes where it is supposed to and they use the children of those countries to pull the charity strings. This must stop and the United Nations be made to produce to the world detailed audits for "all" to see and to leave the educating of our children to their parents.

And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:13-14 KJV
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Luke 17:2 KJV
