Why Johnny can’t read: not enough phonics
Phonics is a part of the solution, but two other key ingredients are, first of all, more parental involvement – to become readers, your kids need to be read to. Parents, whether you homeschool or don’t, God has appointed you as your children’s teachers (Deut. 6:4-9).
Secondly, we need to end the public system, where the State and teachers’ unions take on a role God gave to us, pretending to know our children better than we do. Imagine if instead of one school system, individual schools had to compete for students: they’d have to market their results, and parents could then choose from among a menu of schools what was best for their particular child. Instead, governments across North America have decided they know what’s best for everyone, and have inflicted learning experiments on children in state-wide and province-wide fashions. Then, if the experiments fail, it isn’t just a few children that are impacted but children en masse who are hurt.
Wealth “gap” in Canada mostly an age gap
The world touts any wealth inequalities between groups as a reason to forgo the 10th Commandment and envy what our rich neighbors have. Envy is, in this scenario, painted as virtuous, because their envy is motivated by a wish to help the less fortunate with the money our neighbor has. But what if we noticed that most of the rich are also old? And most of the poor are poorer because they are younger, and most will be better off in time? That would undercut the momentum to pillage the rich, wouldn’t it?
Why more legal suicide? Because otherwise suicidal people will kill themselves.
The Left doesn’t reason, they just emote, such that they don’t even need to make sense. Their latest argument for expanded access to euthanasia? Well, “as the National Post succinctly put it: ‘Canada told mentally ill must be euthanized lest they kill themselves.’”
Actress Christina Applegate shows that liberals know it is a baby
Pro-life Christians often approach the issue of abortion like it’s a matter of education, rather than proclamation – that it’s due to an information deficit, rather than being a sin problem. But that forgets what the devil does. Sure, he uses miseducation too, but always to pursue his sinful ends – as this Not The Bee article shows, abortion is very much a spiritual issue
Appreciating the Irreducible Complexity of the human foot
We are amazed at the brilliant engineering of the Roman arch, but what of the foot that has 3 separate arches integrated in its design? We are indeed wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14)!
The secret religions in your favorite movies (4 min)
Expressive individualism – your feelings should be your guide as to what is good, and true, and right – is being pitched at our kids. But what does Jesus say about following our heart (Luke 9:23)?
(This one ends abruptly, like there were another 5 seconds cut off, but by then her point is made.)
