We're Failing the Children

David Rice begins a five-part Substack series titled "Why is Child Porn Legal?" 

One so wants to recoil from this stuff and not think on it. But in all honesty, porn has affected, on one level or another, almost everyone in modern society. Christians must be willing to take up the cross and fight. Porn, and in particular child porn, is a scourge that grows ever larger.

Our betters (those with most of the money, education, and influence) have long since abandoned their moral position and are not to be followed or trusted. This includes elected officials who pay lip service to protecting children but in reality do little or nothing.

From Rice's article:

"Overall, the Miller decision is just bad law. One of the justices, William J. Brenner, Jr., was eager to remove as many obscenity laws as he could. We can all give him thanks for his service to this nation. I need a sarcasm font. We were given a law which created a market for obscene materials across the nation. Its claim to return the issues to the states is a valueless claim. We are one bad petition initiative to change the Missouri Constitution to enshrine the right to porn in our libraries and our schools. This is what happens when you side with a Free Love worldview."

Just to keep it real, here is journalist Elizabeth Nickson of Welcome to Absurdistan:

 We Chose the Pornification of the Culture, and,

Child Rape in Hollywood. How Much Can You Handle?

Our local culture has become so degraded that our Christian County Library is on par with public libraries in St. Louis and Kansas City for the amount of smut pushing the early sexualization and indoctrination of our children.

But there is hope. The monthly library board of trustee meetings have become a sort of revival of Christian sentiment. Pastors are getting involved, though sadly they are few and far between. Victims of the "pornification of our culture" speak about its trauma, and how to be saved and healed.

The "educated" voices that speak in favor of allowing minors access to smut are slowly being overcome by common sense and sanity. But the Enemy of common sense and sanity will not give up easily.

 The next meeting of the Christian County Library is scheduled for Tuesday, January 23 at 6 p.m. Check the link to confirm the location as the meeting draws closer.

In the meantime, keep up with David Rice's series. Don't turn away. Local action has national impact.

Let's Go Missouri!

 

At least he showed up

 The Ozark School Board had a big vote to purchase property for up to $8.65 million on January 8. The banker on the school board and the real estate guy on the school board didn't bother showing up, oddly enough. And the third guy was:

They aren't quite sure what they're going to do with the building (wink wink), but you can bet your bottom dollar it will need lots more of your Ozark property tax dollars to make it ship shape.

You have to spend money to save money, right? As Assistant Superintendent of Operations Curtis Chesick says, "This is an opportunity to save money on future growth."

The Chamber of Commerce Again

 

@MissouriChamber is STILL pushing DEI.

2024 DEI Conference.

Why? @LtGovMikeKehoe is endorsed by the Missouri Chamber and running for Missouri Governor 2024.

The Chamber is a leftist lobby that no conservative should be working with. #moleg pic.twitter.com/4JA6mRJMEU

Harvard's Black Swan Event Has Huge Implications For Diversity, Inclusion, Equity

 That Harvard's plagiarist President Claudine Gay was forced to resign in order to stop the credibility bleed at the university, is great news for local government schools. What happens at the university level percolates down to the K-12 educational institutions, as well as business.

DIE, or DEI has been implemented in our local Christian County Schools. Administrators and school boards should expect to be held accountable for its implementation. It's one reason why there is chaos in our schools, whether it is how testing is done, how students are disciplined, how they are taught to feel about themselves and others, and so on. 

On X, Bill Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square, wrote a post about it. He said in part, "But as we all know, our higher education system (HES) is critically important as it can affect and influence the minds of our younger generations, thereby profoundly impacting the lives of all of us. The HES can affect what’s taught to toddlers and what is taught in elementary and high schools, as ed schools train the next generation of teachers and superintendents, and design the curricula they teach. The HES can convince a generation that some of us are oppressors, and others are the oppressed, and provide justifications for what kinds and what degree of violence and terrorism are appropriate tools to address this perceived oppression. The HES can affect our medical establishments and the ethics of medicine, e.g., some of our most controversial procedures and medicines, and the advisability of their use on children, and so on. You get the point, I am sure."

In the short video below, Ayaan Hirsi Ali also discusses how Diversity Inclusion, and Equity can affect local schools, and how important it is that this pernicious agenda be destroyed. The Harvard Black Swan Event is also our opportunity to divest our local schools of DIE. Watch:
