I am writing this to inform you of some things that are happening in our school systems that
you might find unbelievable. There is one in particular that just happened. A first grade class
in California, had an assignment from the teacher to bring in something to tell of your family's
Christmas tradition. It looks like what we would call, 'Show and Tell' in my school days. A
little girl brought in an ornament from her tree which was a star. Here are the words of the child as she was explaining the meaning of her ornament:"“Our Christmas tradition is to put a star on top of our tree,” the little girl said. “The star is named the Star of Bethlehem. The three kings followed the star to find baby Jesus, the Savior of the world.”
Before she could say another word, the teacher intervened and stopped her from talking. Listen to the teacher's words, "‘Stop right there! Go take your seat,’” How would you have liked to hear that from your teacher? The child was made to sit in her seat, and was not allowed to finish her presentation.
The story only gets worse. When the little girl's parents talked with the principal, the principal defended the teacher in her actions. The principal said that there was no way that little girl could finish her presentation. because it was to protect the other students from being offended. The principal continued and explained that the little girl was allowed to write about her beliefs in a journal, but she was not allowed to share her beliefs aloud to any other student.
The man who wrote this article is Todd Starnes and he concludes with this statement: What happened inside that classroom is nothing short of un-American. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of my tax dollars being used to pay the salaries of public school teachers who humiliate and bully Christian boys and girls.
This is why we need to be praying for the church in America, and praying for our country. May God have mercy on us and restore our nation to the integrity it once had.
