Sorry about the title, but the reality at a school near you maysoon reflect that very scenario...The time to stop that hastening is now...not next week.
Incredible Story of District 211 School Board Elections
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The title makes sense in context of the story x
My daughter did not start out homeschooling, it was only in the last two years ( my grand daughter is 15years old ) the school were failing her daughter, so she chose to opt out. My daughter had also worked within the school system ( as a librarian ) she saw things from a different prospective when she saw ' behind the scenes ' - Its not a decision everyone has agreed with in the family, but I get it completely x

@Butterfly Well, I'm sure she doesn't regret doing so.

I believe the radio broadcast was made in the US ( in New York 1938 ) not England. Orson Welles narrated it as part of radio series , and the listeners did not know that it was fiction. The radio broadcast was an adaption from the HG wells book. So the panic that took place was actually from those listening to the show, they had to announce that it was ' only fiction ' and not actually happening after it had started. In many respects you can understand how that could happen back then, with no other means than a radio to communicate.

I think that the media today is so biased that they can often themselves not tell fact from fiction...

This is terrible. As a shy young woman I had difficulty in the locker room changing in front of other young women! I can't imagine being forced to change in front of a young man. These young people are really facing unprecedented challenges - no wonder there is so much unhappiness.

Even though I had been a public school teacher, I home schooled my 3 kids and have never regretted it! There are some good organizations offering support to parents who choose to educate their children at home. I think most states have state and local groups. It's a big commitment, but well worth the time and effort.

I would greatly appreciate others' prayers - I've been trying to convince one of our children to get grandkids out of the lion's den. They don't fit. If you teach a child morals they don't fit. I could not repeat on here what I'm hearing that is going on. It breaks my heart - I want them homeschooled so badly.

I work in the public school system. I am joyful that this delemnia hasn't reached my school as of yet. But I am fearful that it will come.

Perhaps it has happened, but I don't see many stories in the news of individuals who have vaginas demanding access to boys locker rooms or wanting to participate with men/boys in sports. Aside from football kickers who actually may be talented enough to kick a 40-50 yard field goal.

While I believe in Grace and do not shame anyone for their sexual identity or preference (knowing I am in the minority with this thinking on this board), this is a travesty which is going to get worse.

I accept accomodation, but not inclusion. If these folks want to be accepted as girls, fine. Let them be called that (I speak not as a Christian, but as an American). But locker rooms and bathrooms should be governed by anatomy. And to accommodate one who denies their anatomy while offending all others affected by it is wrong.

On a semi related topic, women's athletics is being ruined. The very liberalism that (thankfully) brought it about is destroying it.

You're not fully in the minority. If someone has gender issues the last thing that they need from anyone - especially the Christian community - is judgement. I'm a strong anti-bullying advocate and can't stand to see a person or animal abused. I've watched it destroy youth. I was sitting in the doctor's office years ago and a young girl began chatting with me. She was a personable girl and before long I knew her entire history. She told me she had been so badly bullied in school that she had to go on medication to relax her. Really think of that - putting a 15-16 year old on Valium because her CLASSMATES HAVE ISSUES? I've seen so much over the years - young people need compassion.

I don't particularly have much respect for snooty Christians who condemn gays while committing "respectable" sins such as gossip, shunning others, pride, etc. And I was probably like that at some times and have to watch myself. Neither do I like the way some of this is shoved down people's throats.

A young gay man was put in our lives. At first I tried telling his sister that it was a lie of Satan that someone is born that way - I was trying to help. She was livid. So I had to keep quiet. But an interesting thing happened - the young man is really nice; he seems to have more of a sensitive heart than others. So I began going out of my way to speak to him and hug him. We just saw him and he walked right up to me and hugged me. He got me cream for my coffee. I ask him about work and what he's doing. We share a special bond. I really feel a love for him and he knows it. So I learned that God wants us to love people not condemn them. And who knows what God is working through it. I think showing love is the ultimate answer. If Christians loved more maybe we'd draw more people to Christ than pushing them away.

But on the opposite end of it is that young women should not be forced to change in front of a biological male. And what young male wouldn't give his right arm to get into a locker room during the hormone-raging years? How do you know someone isn't faking it to get into the girls locker room? I think homeschooling is the answer for Christians. Too much has gone the wrong way.

The media today is all propaganda. Hollyweird is influencing these young people and it breaks my heart. If anyone wants to see what they're doing read "Vigilant Citizen" (link below) you can really see that those in Hollywood are full given over to evil. They're behind the gender mixing. As you know it's Satan's agenda.

Christians have to be cautious: I read that the Jonas brothers - marketed as a "Christian" band had back masking on their music telling them to worship Satan or something like that.

A relative coached a baseball team and told me how horrible all the kids were. So as we sat watching the game, the pitcher flubbed the ball then proceeded to scream nasty accusations at another ball player. I was shocked the ref and coaches let it go on. I bellowed out "That's no way to treat teammates!" Everything got quiet and my relatives shushed me. There was silence and I think my relatives waited for me to be put out or reprimanded. I kept on. I can't believe I was the only adult in that group who would speak up. These kids have to be told when they're doing wrong. The pitcher turned and apologized - though I doubt he would have done it had I not admonished him.

I think as Christians we need to be the first to speak up against a wrong - because sometimes others won't.

We spoke recently with a young one in our family and my stomach turned to hear what was going on in the public school. Hollywood has contaminated their minds.

And this is why I think one of the most precious and important gifts we can give to our kids is to teach them how to think critically for themselves. Everyone will have an agenda for them, regardless if it's a liberal or even a conservative. And if they cannot think through an idea they will hop from one scheme to the other based on who they like best at the time or which friend click they are attached to. The need to be able to reason any and all thoughts and arguments out or down to the nuts and bolts and discern what's really going on. It's not easy to do in today's world, but necessary, I think.

It sounds right, but as much as I fancy that I can think critically, I always end up admitting that I'm not as sharp as I think I am. Seeking the truth for its own sake seems to be a shortcut. Whenever we can take hold of the truth, the ability to think critically seems to naturally follow. When you know the truth, all of the sophistry in the world can't deceive you.

Very true!

Among the education elite, critical thinking skills are synonymous with "higher-order thinking skills." This is part of Bloom's Taxonomy which defines educational objectives as "the way in which individuals are to act, think or feel as a result of participating in some unit of instruction" (Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: the Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain, p. 12).

A young gay man was put in our lives.

When i was in grade school and high school there were a few boys who weren't out of the closet gay, but were nonetheless quite effeminate. I stuttered and stammered horribly well into my junior and senior year so I was basically their friend by default. There was also the token black kid who would have probably preferred to hang out with the more popular kids in school. It wasn't that people were mean or nasty, intentionally wanted to hurt them. They just didn't want to associate with them or me.

The thing i remember most was that they were always so cheerful. Laughter always came easy to them despite the fact that they didn't really have any male friends. I think part of the problem is that kids are being forced to like or associate with someone, and it puts everyone into an embarrassing position. The gay kid is in the spotlight, and woul probably prefer not to be, and the other kids are being forced to associate with someone they really don't have anything in common with.

Years later, I was employed by two gay men for a year or two, and I watched as one of them lost his mind to a brain tumor and the other one also had a seriously compromised immune system. It was ghastly seeing what they went through. They both had it made. They had a thriving business. They both had patents that were going to make them both millionaires, if not multi millionaires, but their lifestyle was literally killing them, not to mention tearing their families apart. It was one of the most tragic things I've seen in my life.

I had some rentals, and rented to a bi sexual man who eventually had to wear diapers. It was bizarre. He seemed like the most normal easy going person in the world. It turns out he was a sadomasochist, and as time went on, he just became completely deranged and demented. I'm not suggesting this couldn't happen to heterosexuals, but they don't seem to be targeted nearly as much.

I think children today are in a significantly different culture than that of 50 years ago. It's one where a dislike or an unfriend on facebook is catastrophic. I read where a kid in grade school was so embarrassed by his cell phone going off in class that he killed himself. Sex and violence are pervasive, and becoming more and more mainstream.

Your story reads like many others - where do you fit in, in the complicated social networks in public school. Many more go through it than you realize. Kids can be very very cruel.

The culture is poisoned - this is why: Illuminati Hypersexualization of Children Exposed – Disney Pedophilia & Satanic Rolemodels

It's interesting, don't you think, how the common accusation these days is that Christians aren't critical thinkers? That we're 'anti-science' and 'anti-reason'. And yet, God is the God of science and reason. Sitting firmly in a biblical world view with a solid foundation of what is morally right and wrong, of what is scientifically provable or not, is actually a brilliant place to start, and where so many people go wrong. In today's world it's not 'right or wrong' it's just 'what feel's best'. And they go with that. The bible tells us that the heart is desperately wicked, and so right there we know that probably judging everything based upon feelings alone is not the most sound approach a person could take.

Oh I agree; Pascal also said: 'The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of'...

I went through a period of stuttering - it came out of nowhere. It didn't begin until I was 19 and it embarrassed me so badly. I was a shy person so it affected me even worse. Then one day at college I had stuttered so I went and sat on the floor in the hallway and cried. Yes - right there in the open (I'm an emotional person.) After that the stuttering stopped. I have no clue to this day why it started (stress?) Or why crying made it stop (release?)

I wasn't a social butterfly in school - I was painfully shy. I always had a few friends that weren't in the cliques either.

Today I am seeing that it is better to have no friends than the wrong kind. I was watching a show about a young teen in Florida who took her life after being bullied. It was heartbreaking. I think public schools are cauldrons of evil now. And social media has intensified it. I was speaking with a youngster who related horrible things the kids were doing - at a young age. He said one of the kids he was forced to sit with ordered 100 d***os off Amazon. I didn't know 10-11 year old kids even knew what they were. I myself didn't know until I was in my 30's and a friend told me. It just sickened me that these kids even knew stuff like that. Then I heard even worse that I can't repeat. These kids today don't stand a chance.

I was taught what was morally right and wrong as a child, but I didn't have any critical thinking skills back then. I just assumed my parents, teachers, etc. had my best interests at heart. They taught me what they were taught. The ironic thing was that so much of it didn't make any sense to me. The bible didn't make any sense to me.

30 years later, I began to dig into scripture, and discovered that the whole world is deceived, and the only thing I could do was surrender to what the word says, but how do I know I'm interpreting it correctly? When I carry out the experiments listed in God's law, I begin to see why they make sense. I begin to see how the world works, and how God works.

Seeing is believing.

The problem now is that just about everything I was taught is wrong. The bible makes perfect sense now, but I live in a world gone mad.

These kids today don't stand a chance.

I was educated and disciplined by Catholic nuns and priests. I was compelled to sing in the choir, but as it turned out that was a great therapy for stuttering and stammering. It's odd that someone who stutters or stammers can sing without stuttering and stammering. I think it is due to the fact that one doesn't have to think about what they're going to say when they sing.

I'm ambidestrous which means that I don't have a dominant hemisphere in my brain. I'm scatterbrained, and had trouble forming coherent thoughts, sentences, etc. It's a vicious cycle because one has to speak to get over it, but if no one wants to talk to you, you don't get much practice in.

I don't really have anything to do with children anymore. They scare me. They're dangerous. Child suicide is on the rise, and a kid that has no problem killing themselves will have no problem killing anyone else either. So many of them are on meds. They spend too much time in front of violent tv or video games, and it desensitizes them to any sense of empathy.

I think that a lot of them can see that they don't really have much of a future. They see older kids growing into adulthood, and continuing to live with their parents instead of moving out on their own. They seem to have lost all amibition to become independant. They've become vicious and sadistic before they can even grow up.
