This business with the Sayreville High School football team raises two more questions in my mind.

How in the world did this happen more than once?

And how was it kept a secret from the student body?

Just askin’.

Today’s public school outrage: Sayreville High School, in New Jersey, has canceled its football season this week, in response to allegations that upperclassmen on the football team sexually abused freshmen players.

This is a Christian blog site, so if you want the gory details, you’ll have to read the newspaper article ( http://www.dailyrecord.com/story/news/local/2014/10/08/sayreville-football-scandal/16915427/ ).

After you read it, you may wonder, “Gee, where do kids get the idea to do such degrading and potentially dangerous things?”

From their public schools, that’s where.

Here is an article I wrote four years ago about a New Jersey Sex Education Conference attended by hundreds of sex ed teachers ( http://chalcedon.edu/research/articles/when-sex-education-turns-into-pornography/ ). The featured attraction at the conference was “Healthy Endings: A Workshop in Anal Health and Sexual Safety.” There were a lot of booths selling “sex toys.” And it was all about educating children.

What the Sayreville football players allegedly did to younger players in the locker room is only what you would expect them to do after being “educated” by “teachers” who attended that conference.

Parents need to re-think their kids being in the public schools.

Folks, it’s every bit as bad as we’re saying it is. You can easily check the information and confirm that it’s true.

Meanwhile, I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that, even if Sayreville High School’s football program bites the dust, “sex education” there will survive and flourish.

As part of some kind of administrative shell game, one of our great universities–Clemson U., in the not-as-red-as-you-thought state of South Carolina–has brought forth a survey demanding details of its respondents’ sex lives. Completion of the survey was mandatory for all students, faculty, and staff ( http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5923 ).

Update attached: Having been found out, Clemson has suspended this requirement.

Well, what was it worth? What kind of schmo tells nosy bureaucrats the truth about his sex life?

One question, for instance, asked, “How many times have you had sex (including oral) in the last 3 months?”

Here are some possible answers, none of which can be proved either true or false.

“Oh, gee–I wasn’t counting!”

“Roughly 20 times a day. That’s the price I pay for being a chick magnet.”

“More times than you, dude.”

Individuals committed to sexual purity might choose to lie, reckoning that if you tried to tell these humanists that you have not had sex outside of marriage, they will think there’s something subversive about you and maybe kick you out of college.

The answer you were not allowed to give was “None of your @#$%$ business, you perverted creep.”

There being absolutely no way to verify the information received, of what possible use was such a survey?

The modern university–where minds and morals go to die.

 

It’s less than two weeks into the new public school year, and we’ve already got a nice controversy: “Meatless Monday” ( http://www.kvue.com/story/news/local/community/2014/09/08/elementary-schools-join-meatless-monday-movement/15299237/ ).

It’s another one of those soft-core Maoist impositions so dear to the hearts of so-called educators.

First they claim kids and parents are breaking down the cafeteria doors, demanding more vegetarian school lunches. Why they expect anyone to believe that, go figure. Then they tell us that going without meat will “improve the health of the planet.” What the dickens is that supposed to mean? The continents are going to start slip-sliding all over because kids are eating meat? The atmosphere’s gonna fly off into space? Like if “the planet” was really, truly “sick,” a bunch of dopy vegetarians could heal it? But it’s all just gibberish.

The next step is to describe “Meatless Monday” as a “movement.” If you can swallow that without choking, they will tell you that all they mean to do is to “encourage” people to skip meat once a week.

Here’s where the Stalinist part comes in. How do these meddling, schoolmarmy lefties propose to “encourage” kids to abstain from meat?

By withholding it from them! Yowsah, yowsah–you can’t eat meat if you just can’t get any! Sort of like the way the Soviet Union used to “encourage” farmers to form collectives. “See, comrade–the children have all chosen not to eat any meat today.” Because there ain’t any!

Finally, they reassure you that “it’s only for one day a week.” Uh-huh. And if you don’t like it in the collective, you can always go back to your own farm.

Look, you want these public school Mugabe wannabes to educate, feed, recreate, and be mother and father to your children, so you can be free to do whatever–well, they’re going to want something in return, aren’t they?

The price we pay for “free” public education is the children’s souls.

Some of you have already sent your children back to school–public school, that is. You really do need to ask yourselves, “What have I done?”

Here is the latest of thousands of isolated incidents from all over the country: a high school girl in Dyer County, Alabama, was suspended because she said “Bless you” when a classmate sneezed ( http://www.momdot.com/in-school-suspension-for-saying-bless-you-after-a-sneeze-for-real/ ).

Saying “Bless you” after a sneeze is hardly the Sermon on the Mount. But to the wacko from the teachers’ union who was in charge of that class, “Bless you” is forbidden. “We will not have Godly speaking in my class!” said this tormented soul.

You don’t have to live in a blue state for your kids to get a blue state education. The teachers’ unions control public education in all 50 states.

What is it with schoolteachers anymore? Last school year, one of them called police because a kid was playing hangman. Now we’ve got one flying off the handle because a kid said “Bless you.” Who can guess what the reaction would have been to “Gesundheit”?

How do they come up with such a steady supply of kooks to put in front of classrooms? Do you have to prove you’re abnormal, before they’ll give you a teaching certificate?

But the bigger question is to Christian parents who insist on sending their children to these schools: What do you think you’re doing?

Meanwhile, I wish I had a nickle for every time I heard some polyp on the Left snarling about “you Christians trying to impose your beliefs on everyone!” That’s projection. These are facts:

Atheists get to impose their beliefs on everybody else (and so do militant homosexuals).

Christians don’t. Not ever.

And it all starts in the public schools–done on purpose, by the teachers’ unions.
