Beware, parents

Elizabeth Bartholet is a Harvard professor and critic of homeschooling.  My article concerning her approach is coming up for December in the Homeschool Researcher Journal.  My dissection of her work was when it was not published or cleaned-up yet.  She is a sad piece of work.  Bartholet has authored a book entitled Family Bonds: Adoption, infertility, and the new world of child production.  I admit I have only read reviews of this book, but the title is frightening. Imagine seeing children as things to be produced, reminiscent of pro-abortionist language and rhetoric.  Bartholet stated that "parenting should not imply that the parent owns the child's affections or has a right to exclude alternative relationships."  Of course Bartholet (I assume she goes by she, though I could be wrong) puts children above parents in the hierarchy of decision making and follows with an argument like this:  “Nurturing should be central to parenting, not biological destiny, she claims, and adoption records should be open, not sealed. She persuasively argues that discrimination by age of parents, sexual preference, race, disabilities, and country of origin should be outlawed” according to Linda Beck.  This remarkable ideation comes just prior to the emphasis on gender, and offers her insights about sexual orientation and parenting.  She, like so many on the Left, may be the loudest voice against the decision making of/by parents (this is understandable given the demonstrable abuse of children), but Bartholet takes it too far, giving much decision making to children and rights regarding things that are generally neutral.  Bartholet’s work is inflammatory and anti-parent. Bartholet is known for her outspokenness and accusations against parents and their abilities to educate, find education for and rear their own children. Bartholet should not be as influential in the world of care, but she is; I would encourage you to look her up and see what she is about. Bartholet uses skewed and distortions of statistics and many assumptions, and subjective remarks. This is a matter and a person we need to be aware of in these wicked days.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
