School is out for the summer, so I thought it would be fitting to share a few, true school stories. The subject matter is not new – this has been happening for several years, and it’s not going to go away. And you and I have a job to do.
Five-year-old Jimmy came home from school one day three months after starting kindergarten and announced “I have a boyfriend!”
His mother was shocked. “How can this be? I’ve taught him morals and values from the day I brought him home from the hospital, and after only a few months in school, he says this! What next?

Cory, normally an energetic and happy fourth grader stepped off the bus and shuffled up the driveway with his head down. He slumped down on the couch and sat there. He did not say a word. After a few minutes, his mother asked, “Cory, are you okay?” Cory looked up. “Are people “No, they aren’t. Why do you ask?” I know it’s not true, but my science teacher said human beings are animals.” His mother sat down next to him quietly for a moment before speaking. “People are made in God’s image. Jesus did not come to die for animals. He died for people. Animals do not go to heaven or to hell when they die. They just die. Besides people have a spirit and animals do not. God gave man authority over animals, so man is above animals. Does this make sense?” Cory nodded still perplexed why his teacher would say such a thing. “I will talk to your teacher,” his mom said.

Twenty-two-year-old Jesse, a college student, sent this text to his mother while he was in class. “I’m learning that I’m a girl if I feel like it, and mothers and fathes are no longer relevent, and if things don’t go the way I want them to, it’s because I’m oppressed. Yay college.”

In Jimmy’s kindergarten class, it seems the intention of this particular school staff was to get children so confused with who they are that the students lose their gender identity altogether. A person must wonder “Why?“
*****
In Cory’s fourth-grade situation, his mother learned that the teacher was not allowed to share her Christian values, and so on the authority of GOOGLE, she taught her class a lie. Again, why?
*****
In Jesse’s college class, the barrage against the human mind continues its relentless quest to destroy the minds of this generation. Why?
*****
In the latter two situations, the students were able to discern the lie taught by the one teaching it. Sadly, with Jimmy, he didn’t see the danger that the mind is a terrible thing to waste in lieu of what he was being taught.
As a mother and grandmother, I urge parents and grandparents to teach truth to your children, regardless of their ages. Let them know who we are in God’s eyes. Since man is created in the image of God, that alone gives us value and worth. That is who we are. Pray for your children because a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
