Have you noticed how those in favor of the education levy boast about being in favor of “education,” as if those of us who do not support the levy are against education? People with conservative or constitutional views are not against education; we are against the indoctrination that comes along with public education and being forced to pay for it. Education and indoctrination are not the same thing.

Public schools, by teaching leftist “values,” evolution, socialism, and humanism, are producing adults who will vote leftist/globalist, to repudiate America’s founding principles and move our country toward socialism. They inculcate a federally established religion (humanism) with its associated creation myth (evolution). Teaching humanism to children at taxpayer expense (extortion) violates the Declaration of Independence, which references God four times. Installing secular humanism as the federal religion to be taught in public schools violates the First Amendment’s establishment clause. Here are some areas of mutual exclusion between humanism and our nation’s heritage:

Humanist Manifesto I denies a Creator, while the Declaration of Independence asserts a Creator. Manifesto II specifically denies the Saviour, while article VII of the Constitution acknowledges His birth. Manifesto II recommends ending national sovereignty and forming a one-world government, while this nation was birthed by a philosophy, declaration, and war for independence.

I am all for education, but not indoctrination under the guise of “education.” As long as the indoctrination is there, I will vote “no” on all levies.
