A former educator and teacher union president has directed several accusations towards my position on wokeness and education. Given his background and rudeness, I have no expectation of honesty from him and won’t address him.
It is not surprising Democrats and current/former educators associated with teacher unions have issues with my letters. A hit dog will holler.
Wokeness is a state-imposed, anti-white racist cult. It is an invasive belief system forced upon the populace as indisputable fact.
The Biden administration is violating the separation of religion and state principle through implementation of wokeness. Wokeness is the de facto State cult.
Parents have the responsibility before God to be faithful interpreters of the world and to guide and protect their children.
They trusted public schools wouldn’t interfere with parental instruction on matters of faith.
No more. Public schools indoctrinate students into wokeness.
Insiders tell me the local school district administration won’t resist woke indoctrination.
I suspect they fear groups like the Biden administration, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and Indiana State Teacher Association (ISTA).
In particular, I understand that they are fearful the ACLU will sue the corporation, and the legal fees will be exorbitant.
Actions by school administrators in some Indiana districts against conservative teachers indicates they have little desire to confront wokeness anyways.
John Kluge, a Christian, reached an agreement with Brownsburg High School administration to use students’ last names to avoid conscience issues with gender pronouns. He was later pressured to resign after the administration reneged upon the agreement under activist pressure.
Were teacher unions outraged over this?
Teacher unions supply the Democrat party with campaign donations and protect worthless, incompetent teachers. They promote wokeness. They don’t care about conservative teachers.
I recommend the Youtube video The Biggest Bully in Schools: Why Public Education is Failing for an exposé of teacher unions. The video is linked below in the related content section.
Watch Fox News Features Accuracy in Media’s Indiana CRT Investigation too. It exposes Goshen Community School and other districts misleading parents about curriculum.
I am suspicious the state legislature is not seriously combatting wokeness and gender ideology in education, either.
The Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives appoints committee chairs.
Let’s suppose he intentionally appoints a nominal Republican to chair an education-related committee.
The chair may be intimidated by the aforementioned groups when considering strong bills against wokeness and gender ideology.
Rather than face their wrath, he kills the bill and never presents it in committee.
He may allow impotent bills with no teeth to proceed to score political points with conservative voters, though.
Those supporting equal protection of the preborn at conception suspect their bills have suffered a similar fate. Tough educational legislation might face a similar fate.
Despite a Republican majority, conservative parents should not depend upon the state legislature or school boards to protect their children from wokeness. While individual legislators or school board members may have the best intentions, compromising leadership renders them relatively impotent.
I think Christian parents should withdraw their children from public schools and pursue alternative education like homeschooling.
Alternative education may result in reduced family income and leisure time. Conscientious, biblical Christians should be more concerned with giving their children a biblical worldview, though.
Pastor-theologian Voddie Baucham says, “We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans”.
If you keep them in public school, you can expect them to be exposed to anti-white racism, unbiblical sexuality, a distorted activist view of American history, depraved individuals, and age-inappropriate sexual content.

I recommend these Youtube channels and commentators for good content on politics and news from a Christian and/or conservative worldview: Albert Mohler, Allie Beth Stuckey, Bill O’Reilly, CBN News, Hugh Hewitt, John Anderson Media (Australia), Nick Freitas, Ruthless Podcast (language warning), Scott Jennings, The Hot Zone with Chuck Holton, Vince Dao, and Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Albert Mohler’s channel on Youtube has a daily episode called The Briefing with Albert Mohler that I highly recommend. Allie Beth Stuckey’s channel is top-notch, too.
For livestreaming of political protests and riots by conservative commentators, check out Nate Friedman, Cam Higby, James Klug, and Nick Shirley. I don’t agree with the perspectives of all these commentators and the language of protesters is often obscene. Most news outlets will not cover these illegal assemblies, though, because it doesn’t promote their narrative.
Depictions of Jesus Christ are used in some illustrations. I realize that some including conservative Presbyterians consider this to be idolatry. I respectfully disagree with their position on this matter as the commandment forbids worshiping such depictions, and I do not worship these illustrations.
