The young idealists had their religious beliefs virtually demolished by Darwinism and science. Many found their cause turned to socialism.
1. Those so-called Intellectuals and many of these Philosophers lived immoral lives. These men want you to drop off your children at the local humanist
3. We are citizens of and find our identity in a State that replaces God. And we’re proud of it!
4. Instead of an Omniscient God we had an “omniscient” State,.
5. Karl Marx said in the Communist Manifesto said “replace Home-education with social.” But why? Because we’ve got to destroy the family.
6. Get the mothers out of the home!
Parents are always looking for role models for their children. Whether it is a sports figure, musician, political leader, or other public figure, the temptation is to motivate by means pointing to an exemplary life. The problem is that often those lives are not exemplary and much of what is known about them is crafted fiction...One of my students asked what steps I go though when I am preparing a lecture or a talk or a sermon or a speech. Obviously, the first thing I have to do is make certain I have something to talk about--I need to master the material, do the reading, wrestle through the ideas, allow the concepts to enlarge in my thinking, consider the various opposing views, and arrive at some Biblical worldview conclusions regarding the subject. Then and only then am I ready to start thinking about constructing a presentation.
But, once that is done, what guidelines do I try to keep in view as I start pulling my thoughts together?
Here is what I told him:
1. Have just one point.
2. Frame that one point with a strong introduction and a well-crafted conclusion.
3. Have a strong outline for everything in-between.
4. Use pithy or funny or poignant quotes—or perhaps peculiar facts that you can then hang each of your points upon.
5. Just be yourself--don't try to inject or project some other persona.
6. Don't read the talk--but don't memorize it either.
7. Have fun.
"A lecture should proceed apace from knowledge to understanding to wisdom--offering insights, delights, and always some element of surprise. Oh yes, and its passion should be outdone only by its brevity." Arthur Quiller-Couch
...Some question that girls who have only lived at home will really be prepared for the “real world.” A real woman should already be living in the real world, whether orphaned, abandoned, widowed, or part of a loving family. Those of us blessed with happy families and comfortable homes shouldn’t use them as a buffer zone from the concerns of the real world, any more than as an excuse to be lazy and incompetent. It would be great if every girl knew how to manage a schedule, plan meetings, buy groceries, pay the bills, defend her faith to antagonists, balance the check-book, take a plane, start a business, give a presentation, change a tire, buy a house, make clothes, deal with emergencies, butcher a chicken, write a book, and learn any new thing as she needs to know it. Living in the real world is actually a great way to learn these real-world skills. Families do these kinds of things all the time, and girls who are very involved in their families’ affairs should get a lot of experience navigating the world the way real people do — even more than those who pay an exorbitant sum of money to learn so-called real-world skills in the artificial, insulated environment of a college campus…
…Work — even paid work — is not something a biblical woman resorts to just when times get tough. Let’s go back to our Proverbs 31 woman. By all measures today, her situation was perfect — successful husband (v23), disposable income (v16) — even maidservants! (v15). Yet what do we see her doing from the darkness of the early morning through the night? Laboring. Producing. Earning. Increasing. Even in her comfortable circumstances, she embraced the privilege of productive work, the holy dignity in labor that the Lord first demonstrated Himself. Of all her virtues (generosity, kindness, wisdom, etc.), this chapter spotlights one virtue more than any other: her industry…

Otto Scott with Dad, Fama, Lance Adolescence is now accepted by most Americans as a strange and difficult period marked by wild swings of mood, outbursts of temper, rudeness, rebelliousness, and personality changes — all involuntary.
They would be surprised to learn that this period was unknown, unrecognized, and unseen in every previous civilization, culture, and society throughout the immensely long history of humanity. It is, even today, unknown in large areas of the inhabited world.

The three most asked questions:
What about socialization?
What curriculum do you use?
That is the mentality of sheep.
My children are mine, not wards of the state.
The government has no jurisdiction over my children.
What is my responsibility as a father?
My responsibility as a father is to raise, train, hone, aim, and launch the arrows that God has given me. There are those who seem to think that I should take them, when they are undeveloped twigs, and launch them into a system that will hone them and aim them back at me.
NEWS FLASH!
I’m raising an army, an army of intercontinental ballistic missiles. And one day the silo will open over my home. And when it does, there will be missiles launched to impact this world that have been raised, trained, armed and honed in my home and not by Caesar.
Don't be surprised if you send your children to Caesar to be educated, and they come back Romans.

This is a well-documented book exposing the foundation of public school. An excellent quote by Robert Dale Owen reveals the messianic character of American education. The first communistic experiment was started in this country in New Harmony
As Hitler would later say a hundred years later to a group of parents who told him, “We are not going to have our children follow you,” he answered arrogantly, “What are you? You will pass on. Your children however will stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing but this new community.”
So education to them is the savior of mankind and that is what people believe today. Robert Dale Owen, in his fiery speech, which was later published in the Free Enquirer on July 28, 1832 said, “If this country is to be redeemed, national education extended through all her states must be her redeemer.” This was written by a communist showing what he believes education can do. It saves us. We know that education is inescapably a religious discipline; therefore parents have the duty to educate their children in the nurture and instruction of the Lord.
Public education took root in 1825. Robert Owen had preached that the “children had to be separated from their parents as early as possible so that their characters could be molded by their educators.” The lesson learned by Owen and his followers was that education had to precede the creation of a communistic society. For people, education under the old system, were too selfish, and incurable. Robert Owen wrote a letter saying, “This experience proved that the attempt was premature to unite the number of strangers not previously educated for the purpose, who should carry on extensive operations for their common interest in living together as a common family so they started the Working Man's Party. The Working Man's Party was to keep the ball rolling for socialistic education. Frances Wright, one of the first feminists and big-time advocate of government education said this, “Fix your eyes upon the great object, the salvation and regeneration of human kind by means of rational education and the protection of youth…”
In 1829, Robert Dale Owen and Frances Wright were busily trying to convince Americans to accept the true “religion,” but under the name of popular education, which was the first step toward a socialist society. These two were the most responsible for making The Working Man's Party, a vehicle for promoting the idea of a national educational system.
