I realized we were in a spiritual battle, so I committed
to being a hands-on parent in the classroom, learning the
teacher’s methodology as well as my children’s religious
rights at school.
Parents must be aware of the spiritual warfare and the
worldviews around our kids. My kids’ classrooms are filled
mostly with atheists and agnostics. Teachers are really push-
ing radical ideology. No one steps in to say this is right or
wrong. No one points out truth. Prayer is the one thing we
lean heavily on. They are His kids to begin with, and it gives
me comfort to know they are God’s children.
WHAT TOPICS HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED WITH
YOUR OWN CHILDREN IN EDUCATIONAL CUR-

My daughter had a number of experiences with an atheist
teacher that caused me to look closer at what was being
taught in the classroom. When my daughter was in second
grade, a student was doing a presentation on Ramadan and
said that Allah is God. My daughter stood up and said, “Allah
is not God; Jesus is God.” My daughter got reprimanded and
told she was making others feel uncomfortable. I wondered,
“How is it any different to say that Jesus is God vs. Allah is
God?” That event was the catalyst.
The next year my daughter brought her Bible to school on
“Bring Your Bible to School Day” sponsored by Focus on the
Family. The atheist teacher reprimanded my daughter for
sharing Bible verses with her friends during break time. The
teacher went to the principal’s office to report her, saying,
“She was making everyone feel uncomfortable. How can she
do this?” The principal called me for my daughter speaking
up for her Christian faith. I was told, “She can’t tell people
about Jesus; she can only do this before or after school, and
she has to call the principal first.” It didn’t sound right. All of
this led me to look further into what my rights were.
My children are taught environmentalism and climate
change, which is really earth-worship. Schools promote
peace assemblies and daily peace pledges, which are priori-
tized over the Pledge of Allegiance. They teach atheism and
communicate that humans have no value. My children are
taught that humans are insignificant and that the earth and
animals have more significance than human life. Of course,
there is evolutionary theory and the Big Bang.
Socialism is taught, and communism is pushed. The Lorax
by Dr. Seuss, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, The Little
Red Hen, and other familiar books are being used to promote
socialism. You wouldn’t know when you read it, but when
you hear the questions, you understand the agenda. For
example, when they read The Little Red Hen, they lead kids
with questions such as, “Wasn’t that selfish?” Teachers are
using the application of a story to promote their agenda. Ask
your kids what kind of questions they are being asked.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is huge. It looks inno-
cent at first, but it’s all about feelings. Students are taught
not to think critically but to feel. It separates the kids from
their parents’ traditional values. SEL is a vehicle used for
data-mining in the classroom. Schools are placing every-
thing online in Google Drive and not sending much home
to review. This is another way to build a wedge (with
progressive values) and to separate kids from their parents’
core values.
Sex education is big. Schools are trying to remove monog-
amy and replace it with homosexuality and transgenderism,
which is coming through literature in the library. We expe-
rienced this in kindergarten when my daughter was read a
picture book about a red crayon that wants to be blue. I do
not allow my kids to check out books in the school library
unless it is a pre-vetted book.
New Age mentality is everywhere. The library promotes
occult books and mystical books. Scholastic book orders are
one of the biggest offenders. Yoga and mindfulness in the
classroom are really pushed. My daughter’s class went on a
