And for over sixty years, the United Nations and its mental health gurus have fought hard to eradicate those old &#8220;poisonous certainties&#8221; that stood in their way. They seem to be gaining ground!<\/p>\n<p>Since Hitler outlawed homeschooling about 70 years ago, German parents have faced the harshest battles. Now other nations are catching up. Notice the government attitudes in the following examples:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A critical hearing is scheduled in Germany in that nation&#8217;s war against homeschoolers to determine whether a family can continue to control the education of its high-performing son, 14&#8230;. &#8216;One of the fundamental rights of parents is the right to educate their children according to the dictates of their own religious beliefs.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That &#8220;fundamental right&#8221; is fast being replaced by government-defined &#8220;community&#8221; or &#8220;collective rights.&#8221; The fact that those homeschooled children have &#8220;extraordinary academic abilities&#8221; and are &#8220;socially competent&#8221; doesn&#8217;t matter. Today&#8217;s rising global system doesn&#8217;t want &#8220;competent&#8221; Christian leaders. Not in Sweden, not in America &#8212; not anywhere!<br \/>\n&#8220;A North Carolina judge has ordered three children to attend public schools this fall because the homeschooling their mother has provided over the last four years needs to be &#8216;challenged.&#8217; The children, however, have tested above their grade levels \u00e2\u20ac\u201c by as much as two years&#8230;. The judge&#8230; explained his goal &#8230;to make sure they have a &#8216;more well-rounded education.&#8217; &#8230;the judge also said public school would &#8216;prepare these kids for the real world and college&#8217; and allow them &#8216;socialization.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Such socialization tactics &#8220;worked well&#8221; in the Soviet Union. Based on the Marxist\/Hegelian dialectic process, they include collective thinking, manipulative peer pressure, denial of absolutes, shameless &#8220;tolerance&#8221; for immorality, and irrational intolerance for contrary views.<\/p>\n<p>The results can be disastrous. Students trained to scorn God&#8217;s guidelines and conform to the crowd are anything but free. Most are soon driven by evolving new notions that undermine all truth and certainty. Loosed from moral constraints, many are bound by their own lusts, obsessions, and (ultimately) despair. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crossroad.to\/articles2\/009\/3-family.htm\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Click here to continue &#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Berit Kjos Kjos Ministries&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":15269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-children-at-risk","wpcat-17-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
