Did you know public schools “promote a culture of immorality and death”? That public school students are more likely “to engage in sex and perversions,” “get an STD” and “commit suicide”? Or more to the point, did you realize that putting your children in public schools means they are “more likely to go to HELL”?
That’s what we learned today from an e-mail screed sent out by the Christian Newswire from the people at www.asleepknowmore.com, a religious-right website that attacks public education and abortion and promotes gun rights under the Second Amendment. (Yeah, we know. Weird mix, but it’s common for the increasingly violence-obsessed religious right.) But as we researched that website, we came up with another question: why does David Barton of WallBuilders in Texas associate with the extremists who run it?
There’s more on the Barton connection below. But today’s e-mail, written by Dr. Gregory Thompsom, is titled: “Are You Going to HELL and Taking Someone with You?” An excerpt:
“The government schools are anti-Christian, atheistic and pagan, and they are against God, family, and country. Do not call yourself ‘Christian’ saying you love the children, yet have children in a government school, k-12 through college. Christian priests, pastors, and bishops hate their congregations if they do not warn their people to get out of the government schools. Pastor, you must help the parents with this issue of education. Jesus said ‘love your neighbor as yourself’. If you do not tell your neighbors to get their children out of the government schools, you hate them instead of love them. To know this truth, and not do anything about it in your area of influence is sin. James 4:17 – ‘Therefore to him that knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin.’ If Church or Government leaders say otherwise, it is a lie from hell.”
That’s followed by a list of “facts” about why public education apparently is a threat to America and our children. (A full version of the e-mail is after the jump.) But who is Thompson? Hard to say. The website isn’t clear on who he is or what he does. We did, however, find an interesting photo of Thompson (right) with Barton (left) on the site:
As you know, the State Board of Education appointed Barton last year to help revise social studies curriculum standards for Texas public schools. But does Barton agree with Thompson about the evils of public education and other extremism found on Thompson’s website? Let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time Barton has associated with political extremists. In 1991 Barton spoke at two events sponsored by groups with ties to white supremacists. He later claimed that he had not known the groups were “part a Nazi movement.”
Barton sure gets around, doesn’t he? But is he someone most parents would really want helping write curriculum standards for their children’s public schools?
Here’s the rest of Thompson’s e-mail today:
Are You Going to HELL and Taking Someone with You
OPINION, April 20 /Christian Newswire/ — The following opinion is submitted by Dr. Gregory Thompson:
The government schools are anti-Christian, atheistic and pagan, and they are against God, family, and country. Do not call yourself “Christian” saying you love the children, yet have children in a government school, k-12 through college. Christian priests, pastors, and bishops hate their congregations if they do not warn their people to get out of the government schools. Pastor, you must help the parents with this issue of education. Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself”. If you do not tell your neighbors to get their children out of the government schools, you hate them instead of love them. To know this truth, and not do anything about it in your area of influence is sin. James 4:17 – “Therefore to him that knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin.” If Church or Government leaders say otherwise, it is a lie from hell.
My name is Dr. Gregory Thompson, I have been a teacher, coach, Athletic Director, Principal, Superintendent, School Board member, on state committees, and am warning you that the “Sacred Cow of Government Education” is harming the children now and for eternity. Many are trusting and ignorant, some are willfully ignorant, and many just don’t know what to do.
Facts:
· Government Education helps promote a culture of immorality and death.
· We could not give your child an aspirin without calling you, yet your grandchildren could be murdered without you knowing it.
· your children will receive a much poorer education than is possible
· your children will be more likely to engage in sex and perversions.
· your children will be more likely to be indoctrinated in Sodomy/homosexuality and encouraged to experience it in Government schools
· your children will be more likely to be raped & molested
· your children will be more likely to be bullied
· your children will be more likely to be taught lies
· your children will be more likely to get an STD
· your daughters will be more likely to become pregnant.
· your children will be more likely to become selfish
· your children will be more likely to become rebellious
· your children will be more likely to kill their pre-born child, your grandchild.
· Because of some of these things your children will be more likely to commit suicide
· Worst of all, your children will be more likely to go to HELL!
Do you love the children? I will give you my book free. Please do not be willfully ignorant! “Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy”. I ask only that you help with the cost of S&H. This book bears witness to the truth and can cause strong reactions. Email: [email protected]. God bless.
