Two reasons to Homeschool

Those who proselytize the dogmas of modernism believe in their articles of faith with as much fervor and righteousness as the dogmas they seek to supplant. Two of their Thirty Nine Article include the doctrine of the sacred communion of the drug-abusing sexual revolutionists and the doctrine of ecological original sin. I happen to come across these two examples in my daily news.

A guest speaker at an assembly at Boulder High School in Colorado has told students as young as 14 to go have sex and use drugs…the instructions came from Joel Becker, an associate clinical professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles. […]

“Why I am going to take that position is because you are going to do it anyway,” he continued. “I think as a psychologist and health educator, it is more important to educate you in a direction that you might actually stick to. So, I am going to stay mostly on with the sex side because that is the area I know more about. I want to encourage you to all have healthy, sexual behavior.”

WND also has reported on similar assemblies that have been used by schools to promote homosexuality, including one where parents were banned from the event, and a second where WND reported school officials ordered their 14-year-old freshman class into a “gay” indoctrination seminar after having them sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to tell their parents.

First it was his world history class. Then he saw it in his economics class. And his world issues class. And his environment class. In total, 18-year-old McKenzie, a Northern Ontario high-schooler, says he has had the film An Inconvenient Truth shown to him by four different teachers this year.

“I really don’t understand why they keep showing it,” says McKenzie (his parents asked that his last name not be used). “I’ve spoken to the principal about it, and he said that teachers are instructed to present it as a debate. But every time we’ve seen it, well, one teacher said this is basically a two-sided debate, but this movie really gives you the best idea of what’s going on.”

One wonders why the impulse to fornicate is described as irresistible, so much to that it is folly to speak against the vice, whereas the impulse to live well and gain wealth, which is what lies at the back of human industrial activity, must be resisted at all costs, nay, sacrificed on the altar of Gaea, that we eco-sinners might receive Her blessing.

Frankly, I prefer the old paganism to the new paganism. The Vestal Virgins had a decent respect for decorum and chastity, and Juno and Minerva and Diana all preserved maidens and matrons from uncouth imposition. Pan may have been a nature-god, but he did not demand the sacrifice of cities and civic life. The lares and household gods protected the house, the hearth, the marriage-bed: would that the Old Gods rise up again from Tartarus, or descend from cloud-dark Olympus, and avenge themselves on these modern scofflaws and crackpots.
