The first step to accomplish that task is to break down their moral fiber and their relationship with parents and parental respect. They must destroy their views of Christianity and the Bible \u2013 your religion, the religion that the vast majority of Americans claim to be. Our schools, by their nature, are dooming your children to believe that America and American Values are evil! Please watch this short video that is not a commentary on the values of public government schools, but about how they are not only retaining their powerful territorial mind-bending rule over your children, but how they are growing their evil agenda exponentially, paying for it with the dollar$ from your own wallet$ and purse$, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Parents USA!

We&#8217;re spending more money on education but not getting better results for our children.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because the machine that runs the K-12 education system isn&#8217;t designed to produce better schools. It&#8217;s designed to produce more money for unions and more donations for politicians.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, teachers&#8217; unions have been among our nation&#8217;s largest political donors. As Reason Foundation&#8217;s Lisa Snell has noted, the National Education Association (NEA) alone <a href=\"http:\/\/reason.org\/news\/printer\/big-education-and-big-labor-electio\"> spent $40 million on the 2010 election cycle<\/a>. As the country&#8217;s largest teachers union, the NEA is only one cog in the infernal machine that robs parents of their tax dollars and students of their futures.<\/p>\n<p>Students, teachers, parents, and hardworking Americans are all victims of this political machine&#8211;a system that takes money out of taxpayers&#8217; wallets and gives it to union bosses, who put it in the pockets of politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Our kids deserve better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Machine&#8221; is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mVyNlJUKgug\">4:17<\/a>\u00a0minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by the Moving Picture Institute in partnership with Reason TV.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.MovingPictureInstitute.org\">www.MovingPictureInstitute.org<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reason.com\/reasontv\/2012\/09\/05\/the-machine-the-truth-behind-teachers-un\" target=\"_blank\">Video Source: http:\/\/reason.com\/reasontv\/2012\/09\/05\/the-machine-the-truth-behind-teachers-un<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<h1>It\u2019s Time To Break The Machine: The Truth Behind Teachers Unions #EdReform<\/h1>\n<p>From 2010 to 2011, as teachers were being laid off or having their salaries frozen due to strained (or busted) school budgets, NEA <a href=\"http:\/\/unionfacts.com\/employee\/National_Education_Association\/JOHN\/WILSON\/\">Executive Director John Wilson<\/a> saw his pay increase more than $100,000\u2013to a whopping $492,484.00 in total compensation. NEA\u2019s President, <a href=\"http:\/\/unionfacts.com\/local\/employee\/342\/NEA\/0\/DENNIS\/VAN_ROEKEL\/\">Dennis Van Roekel<\/a> wasn\u2019t as fortunate. In 2011, he only brought raked in $460,060.00 in total compensation. These are but two of the executives that run the nation\u2019s largest teachers union. Yet, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/unionfacts.com\/local\/employees\/342\/NEA\/0\/\">many more at the NEA<\/a> who collect six-figure salaries paid for the dues taken from teachers who are paid by taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s education system has become nothing more than a political-public education scheme\u2013a machine, if you will\u2013that is fleecing taxpayers while robbing children of a better education and life.<\/p>\n<p>For those public-education \u201cgraduates\u201d who may still have trouble with reading comprehension, a new video co-produced by ReasonTV and the Moving Picture Institute brilliantly captures the problem and why it\u2019s time to break the political-education machine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2013\/01\/Chalkboard-Teachers-Unions.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22439\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2013\/01\/Chalkboard-Teachers-Unions.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laborunionreport.com\/portal\/2012\/09\/its-time-to-break-the-machine-the-truth-behind-teachers-unions-edreform\/\">Read More: http:\/\/www.laborunionreport.com\/portal\/2012\/09\/its-time-to-break-the-machine-the-truth-behind-teachers-unions-edreform\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calvin&#8217;s Commentary: If your children are in public schools, get them out!

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
