  My brothers and sisters in Christ, if this doesn’t stir up outrage in you for how our children are being morally and spiritually assaulted through the public school system, nothing will. We should be incensed and moved to action on behalf of our kids! As Christians, aren’t we supposed to take action to preserve families and protect children? Are we content to just sit around complacently watching these things happen as our kids are being inundated by evil? Why are we indifferent to this evil that is escalating exponentially?   I’m reminded of the words of Dr. James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family: “Christians have ‘dropped the ball’ when it comes to acting to preserve families and protect children. Our kids are being inundated by evil, and what have we done? We’ve sat around and watched it happen.”   Our children are being morally and spiritually abused, brainwashed, indoctrinated, and poisoned beyond measure with the repulsive filth being relentlessly and methodically implemented throughout our public school system. Where is the sense of outrage that moves us as Christians beyond mere indignation? We verbally express our abhorrence, but there is no action! We file some lawsuits and boycott busi- nesses, all while keeping our children in systems of educa- tion that purposes to destroy them morally and spiritually.   Christian parents must draw their children under their wings with a determined resolve to not allow their children to be morally and spiritually abused! How can we allow our children to daily be in this environment that is discipling them in ways contrary to God’s Word? May we have the courage to truly take a stand against the evil of our day, so we will not have to say as Jeremiah did in Lamentations 1:16: “This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.”  Michael Zanelli is a graduate of University of Notre Dame and currently a member of the Brooklyn Tabernacle (since 1991).
