This is the problem I have with this speech. Each day we see more and more layers peeled away from our President, thanks to many hard working conservatives out there, and so now the truth about Barak Obama is coming to light, things I saw long before he was elected and I don’t like it and I don’t want my children indoctrinated into it—even if ever so smoothly.

My children are my husband’s and my responsibility. So on that day, we will be sending a note with each of our three children excusing them from class during that slot of time. I wish our superintendent would have had enough courage to just opt out of showing it at all, but that didn’t happen. So as responsible parents we will take the option we were given and hope that most, if not all, parents will do the same and pull their children from the broadcast.

I know from my many calls to the district office and to the various principles, that I am not the only concerned parent. Way to go parents. We are just fed up. If President Obama’s actions, policies and “associations” were of pure motive then my views might be different. Though, I still would want to know what was in the speech no matter what.

President Obama, what are you up to? I am pretty sure I know.

Obama wants to appoint him to the Education Department’s head of the Safe and Drug Free Schools.  Sounds innocent, but let’s keep it real.  We all know how our President works by now.  This man will have the power to change policy and influence how and what our children are taught.

We will likely find our children being indoctrinated into the lifestyles of the gay community.  Instead of learning the 3R’s, they will be learning about GLTBs (Gays, Lesbians, Trans-genders, and Bisexuals).  They will be told things that will make them question who they really are sexually.  Does this disturb you?  I hope so!

We as parents must protect our children.  If it means I pull my children from the public schools, I most certainly will.  God has entrusted them with my husband and me.  We will not tolerate any of this nonsense.  We have two boys and one girl and that is who God made them.  That is the way they will stay.

I don’t like the way I see things heading here in the U.S. As a conservative and a Christian mom I want to preserve our heritage as believers and Americans. My children can’t receive that in the public school setting. It’s my husband’s and my responsibility to ensure that our children learn what is true!

As parents, we must be completely engaged in our children’s lives at home and at school. We did not have children so others could teach them right from wrong. We cannot drop our children off at daycares, public schools or private schools and expect that they are being taught our values, morals and ethics.

In today’s educational environment we must take an active role in educating ourselves as to what is being taught in the classroom. I must confess, I often wonder if they are being taught anything at all. The way they teach anymore seems to lead to chaos and confusion. Do they even teach the fundamentals anymore? You know, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Oh and how about spelling. Heaven forbid we circle a misspelled word in red and have the student look the word up in a dictionary and spell it correctly.

Things sure have changed and they haven’t changed for the better. Take for instance teaching children how to read. You might be excited to see your child come home and read some words, but do you really know how they are being taught to read? It probably isn’t by using phonics. Our children are taught to guess, to think about what would make the most sense, to sound out the first part of the word and then finish it with what they think fits. Whole language at it’s best.

I saw this effect my oldest child’s reading ability and I wasn’t about to let it happen to my other two, so I preceded to reteach my oldest and then teach my younger ones how to read. I used Turbo Reader by Phyllis Schlaffley. It was easy and precise and my children can read excellently. Unfortunately, my oldest got a bad taste for reading and still struggles, but I hate to imagine where any of them might be had I not intervened.

We must be involved and educated ourselves. Parenting takes hard work, but it is so worth it.
