Hat Tip to Thomas Silence and MISH’S Global Economic Trend Analysis for calling this video to my attention.

Here is an article at ABC.go.com that goes along with the video – http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=1500338. The video is a 20/20 special.

Apparently when the Texas board of education evaluates school text books the entire nation is affected. Texas and California are the biggest purchasers of text books and California is in economic crisis. That leaves Texas.

Text book publishers cater to their biggest customers thus having a significant impact on what all American school children learn.

According to Mike Huckabee, David Barton, Matt Staver and others there is a significant risk of American History being purged of such things as Christmas and the Fourth of July; and students will be taught to prepare for “global citizenship” instead of American citizenship. This is all being decided by a school board in Texas.

I know folks are just going to quote the verses about “submitting to all those in authority;” but by what Biblical reasoning is the state taking sovereignty of education away from parents?

Education should be the domain mostly of parents, a little bit of church.

The state should acknowledge and yield to the parental right, authority, and responsibility to provide education for their children. Parents should not have to get any approval from the state for their eduction program.
