WHAT SHOULD WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN?

My father's bar mitzvah bible -
A mazoretic translation of the hebrew tenach.

What should we teach our children? Could there be a more important question? The implications stretch way beyond our children to our children's children, to all they interact with, to our community and our nation. 

Some might answer "Love." But we show them love. They learn love by being loved. The same is to be said of hard work, respect and morality. Our children learn character by displaying these things for them. 

But what about wisdom? How shall we be wise and teach wisdom? Perhaps the answer is found in a book. But which book? It can't be a new book, because surely there were wise men long long ago.  

Where shall we find the wisdom of Solomon? The answer is in the question. Teach them Proverbs.

Historians believe that the Dark Ages ended when Constantinople, which was the capital city of the Byzantine Empire, fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453 CE. But I think it was about one year later. Why one year later? 

One year later, in 1454 Gutenberg put his invention, the movable type printing press to commercial use producing thousands of texts for the Church. One year later, THE FIRST BOOK was printed on the Gutenberg press - The famous Gutenberg "42-line" Bible using mass-produced movable metal type in Europe. It is called the "Forty-Two Line Bible" because the pages are printed with two columns of 42 lines each. It marked the start of the "Gutenberg Revolution." 

Only 38 years later, in 1492, Columbus first set foot in the Americas. The first European settlers brought their Bibles to the "New World." America is the only Covenant Nation after Israel. 

By the time of the American Revolution, the influence of the Bible was deep and profound. The signers of the Declaration of Independence knew their Bible well.  

George Washington noted, "…religion and morality are indispensable supports… let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion…"

Isaiah 46:9-10

Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 

Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’

ARE YOU A RACIST?

DO YOU BELIEVE???

... race is a "social construct" created and maintained by western Europeans Whites to justify their ONGOING oppression and exploitation of Blacks on the basis of their inferiority, immorality, or incapacity for self-rule?

... whites purposely continue to FORCE Blacks and Hispanics to live in racially segregated and impoverished neighbourhoods BECAUSE they are Blacks and Hispanics?

... whites DESIGN our system SO THAT Blacks and Hispanics receive less and inferior medical care than Whites and consequently lead shorter lives?

... because all Whites are inherently racists their conscious and subsconcious racist behaviour is directed at Blacks and Hispanics in the form of “microaggressions,” which are verbal or behavioral slights?

Simply put, do you believe that America IS systemically racist TODAY and that the whole of American society is designed by Whites to oppress and exploit Blacks and Hispanics? 

ARE YOU A RACIST? 

If you are White you are. That is, according to Critical Race Theory. 

I OBJECT TO THAT ACCUSATION! 

Just because there are racists, bigots and antisemites in American society, not to mention Blacks who hate Whites, does not mean that any of those things DEFINES America. 

It is easy to make the case that CRT is by its very nature and message, a racist ideology. Therefore, teaching CRT is in itself an ACT OF RACISM.

Should we teach ABOUT racism and the history of slavery, as well as antisemtism, in schools and colleges? YES, OF COURSE!! Florida Law ALREADY REQUIRES that THESE topics be taught!!  CRT is NOT that!  It is a THEORY that makes harmful distortions and accusations. 

America's schools should NOT be teaching that ALL Whites are racists and America IS a systemically racist nation. Critical Race Theory promotes hate and instills a desire for vengeance. That is why DeSantis banned ONLY teaching CRT. Don't fall for the media lies!

Besides, as the video below shows, everyone is a little bit racist.

Nobody is denying that Blacks on average have issues and challenges. Black lives do matter, and it is possible that Black lives don't matter enough to those who they should matter most.
