“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” – Matthew 18:6
Recently, CBN wrote an article about the new common core standards for sex education in public schools. I have put two excerpts from their article below and the entire article can be read with this link: CBN
“The new standards advocate for abortion, requiring teachers to tell sixth graders about it. It also compels ninth-grade teachers to provide information about local abortion clinics to their students. The transgender agenda plays a strong role in these lessons which urges that children should be allowed to choose their own gender identity, and any pronouns they select to be identified by must “be respected by the adults in their lives.”—CBN
“The standards require that children as young as kindergarten should learn about gender identity. Third graders are taught that gender is on a spectrum. Other topics include lessons about hormone blockers for transgender youth and how to “explain” masturbation”-CBN
Clearly, these standards violate God’s Teachings! The question really is, “can a child who is taught these standards starting at Kindergarten withstand the onslaught from teachers against their faith”. And I think the answer is: Doubtful.
Once a child enters first grade, they spend more of their waking hours at school then they do with their parents. When children are very young, they believe anything their teacher says, even when it conflicts with what we are teaching them at home.
Even when children simply mishear their teacher in, for example math, they continue to think that 2 +3=4 (if they think their teacher said that) no matter what we say at home. Young children believe what their teachers teach them and that is why the content of what teachers teach is so very important.
A good education without faith is useless. The most important thing we can ever teach our child is: Faith in Jesus Christ. All else is useless without it. And these new standards violate what we are teaching at home and what is taught in the Holy Bible. Period.
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6
This is the lesson our children need to learn ?
