In a recent hearing conducted by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Senator Mike Braun (R-IN), asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, “Do you think the parents should be in charge of their child’s education as the primary stakeholder?”
Cardona refused to call parents the primary stakeholders; instead, Cardona responded, “I believe parents are important stakeholders, but I also believe educators have a role in determining educational programming.”
Does that comment concern you? Because it should and reveals their belief that they are the ones who should have control of our kids. In fact, when Common Core was introduced several years ago, the Secretary of Education actually had the audacity to say out loud that it was the government who was in control of the children! Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Programming is the key word in Education Secretary Cardona’s sentence and for years that has been the goal of the government to dumb down our children and program them into good little socialists.
My husband and I watched this Communist agenda first-hand when we worked in China as English teachers. Thirty years ago, when I asked the students “What would you do if you had a million dollars?” Two of the responses, were truly revelational and reflect the mindset now happening in our nation to our children. They included:
1. I will never have a million dollars, so why think about it? (defeatist with no hope)
2. I would turn it over to the government so that we could all share it. (socialist brainwashing)
Our education system doesn’t just need reform. It needs a complete overhaul and to start over beginning from the top down. That is where we target our prayers this week.
Father, we lift up our children and the educational system in our city and all across our nation from preschool all the way through higher and continuing education schools. For too long we have allowed the secular governmental system to pour its socialist, anti-parent, anti-law enforcement, anti-God agenda into our children. We repent for allowing them to take it over and we ask for your mercy now as we pray and prepare to take it back.
Lord, from the racist Critical Race Theory agenda they are working hard to force feed our children to gender dysphoria, anti-police, anti-parent, anti-God curriculum, we pray for a hedge of protection around the minds of the students. We pray the socialist curriculum that has revised and replaced the true history of our nation would be exposed and destroyed and replaced with truth.
We pray from the School Board members to the principals, teachers and assistants, that those who are there to export Leftist and Communist agendas, turning children against God, parents and our nation, would be exposed and removed. We pray that godly leaders would replace them and that there would be such a shaking in our educational system that it would shake out the corruption and lies and that it would bring transformation so that truth, morality and biblical principals are once again taught and become the foundation of every education and in every school.
Lord, we also pray for those who have been brainwashed by the present system, who are either still students or those who have graduated. We pray for those who believe they know the truth, but have been fed lies. We pray for truth to prevail in their hearts and wash away the anger and wrong information that has been poured into their minds. We declare that they shall know the truth and the truth shall set them free!
We pray over our own children and all students that they will be trained up in the things of God in the way they should go, so when they are old they will not depart from it.
May the people assemble, including the men and the women and children and the alien who is in our city, so that they may hear and learn and fear You, and be careful to observe all the words of Your law. That even the children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear the Lord our God, as long as they live.
Thank you Lord for completely overturning and uprooting this ungodly educational system in our nation and helping it to be restored to a biblical foundation and start again.
