No Child Left Behind (also known as the “Elementary and Secondary Education Act”) is the federal government’s tool for shaping education.  It is overdue for reauthorization, but President Obama has made his intentions clear in his “blueprint” for education and in his appointment of radical gay activist Kevin Jennings to the Department of Education.

It’s not hard to envision the perfect classroom in Obama’s America.  It’s a place where:

–Affirmation of homosexual marriage and alternative lifestyles will be taught as part of “anti-bullying” and “safe-schools” programs.

–Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, would be in charge of sex education, values instruction and counseling.

–Unelected bureaucrats and special interest groups would select the standards, curricula, teaching methods, and materials for the classroom.

–Parents and local communities –the foundation of American education—would lose their say in how their children are educated.

–Homeschoolers and private schools would be subject to ever-increasing government oversight and intrusion.

Through bad times and good, America has remained, in President Lincoln’s words, “the last, best, hope of mankind” for one reason:  our belief in the principles in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.  That belief has been passed down from generation to generation, from parents to their children.

But is we risk losing that belief if we allow government to further intrude in the sacred relationship between parent and child.

Now is the time to organize and defend our children.
