We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No, you can't throw away my Bible. Hey! Teacher! Leave those bigots alone.
And I thought the "Gathering Storm" in all its half-truths and fear-mongering was bad. Here is how the Illinois Family Institute explains their video:
The "Day of Silence", sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) will take place Friday, April 17th in schools across the nation. Participating teachers and students are told to remain silent during class time to protest discrimination and bullying felt by students who believe they are gay and/or transgender.
It is our firm opinion that these claims of discrimination, intolerance and bullying (aimed at people of faith who believe God's Word that homosexuality is sin) are diverting attention away from GLSEN's main purpose which has been and continues to be the normalization of homosexuality among impressionable youth.
This 6 minute video, made by a Bible believing church here in Illinois, exposes how our children are being indoctrinated, held captive and forced to accept an unproven and dangerous ideology while Biblical Truth is undermined.
It kind of makes me wonder if these people know anything about the Day of Silence. Do they really think it's going to be some kind of forced-participation event? Jesus, I had to go to numerous evangelical indoctrination assemblies when I was in school. Things like bodybuilders for Jesus and teenage alcoholics who turned their lives around. Yes, it was public school. No, we weren't offered the choice to opt out. Yes, these people told us all about how believing in Jesus would make us able to rip phone books in half and marry beautiful women. Do they think the gays really work like Christians do to make mindless zealots out of school children?
I just love how this video "exposes how our children are being indoctrinated, held captive and forced to accept and unproven and dangerous ideology" when in fact what goes on in this video resembles nothing in public schooling except that it was shot in a classroom. No one is being forced to participate in the Day of Silence.
It all boils down to the unwritten tent of Christianity that is persecution. They are taught to believe from an early age they will persecuted for their faith. There are biblical examples of early Christians being abused and killed for their beliefs. So in order to be the true faithful they have to be persecuted in some way too. When no persecution actually exists they have to make some up, to turn simple disagreement into persecution. "I am being threatened by a handful of people in my school not talking for one day." It's ludicrous. Only incredibly stupid people could view this video as anything but malicious deception.
