The LGBT and diversity issues are now even in the most innocent children's TV programmes. This should concern us as Christians as the traditional family structure and values are under huge attack.
I'm afraid I don't like it and I am just not explaining or condoning it to my grandchildren. I don't even understand about the pronouns that people now want to be known by. Even primary schools have had to be issued with guidance. Small children concerning themselves with that!

Is their message 'anything goes '? This bodes ill for us all. Can it really be good for people to be whatever they want to be? It is frankly confusing.

If I may add Galatians 6:8 in KJB, seems a guidance on this.

There is no sin that Jesus will not forgive. Problem with this issue is, some seemingly large percentage of the non-believing population does not acknowledge homosexuality as sin. So while there are no groups of people protesting and trying to get rights to live free of persecution for being a liar or a thief or an adulterer or a murderer, for instance, and having what looks like the support of many others in that endeavor, that is not the case here. Most everyone acknowledges that lying is wrong. That thievery is wrong. That adultery is wrong. That murder is wrong. So there are no marches or growing social movements started by liars, cheaters, thieves, adulterers, and murderers saying let us be who we are and accept us for who we are because we are going to keep lying, cheating, stealing, and murdering.

Another thing I see with this is, even though liars and thieves and adulterers get punished in various ways socially and through loss of relationships etc, sometimes even prison time, generally speaking, liars are not killed for telling lies, nor thieves put to death for thieving, nor adulterers for cheating, whereas homosexuals have been bullied and tormented and murdered in large numbers not by those who know and/or love them, but by people who in many cases do not even know them. This is of course not to say that wronged husbands or wives or boyfriends/girlfriends have never murdered someone who cheated on them, nor saying nobody has been murdered because of all the lies they told, or the things they stole.

No parent wants to have their child brutally murdered because of who they are.

This nonsense has been in the schools for a while now. I'd be HIGHLY reticent to send my kids to any public school at this point, and I'd watch very carefully what they were watching.

What's worse is that questioning the absurdity can lose you your job or land you in legal trouble. Pushing the LGBT agenda in schools is child abuse of the worst kind, yet it is legally protected.

I am just so relieved I am not the only one worried about this, this pervading indoctrination of our children.
Wholesome family values seem to be being pushed aside while justifying some very peculiar behaviours. Our children are surely growing up confused. It's difficult for parents to know how to guide them.

If you have young children throw out the TV. You cannot supervise every show your children watch and letting the TV raise your kids is like letting a psychopath raise them. There are decent videos and DVDs you can get. I would recommend buying them. If it isn't worth buying then don't show it to your children. Many of the historical and educational videos should be seen two or three times so it is well worth the purchase price. You can also get some movies, Fiddler on the roof, Gone with the Wind, It's a Wonderful Life, these are building blocks to our culture and civilization so that would be well worth letting your children see.

I don't think you can exercise this level of supervision if your kids go to public school, they will be a laughing stock, so you have to home school.

You can get a list of great books for your kids to read, especially if the books are at least 50 years old. Don't trust a reading list of must reads at a library if the books were published in the last ten years.

Do not let your kids have a phone and if you do get a computer for your homeschool there are routers that come with a timer so you can make it so they can only access the internet at certain times of the day. You can also block sites like Tik Tok, and other sites notorious for their propaganda and brain washing.

A weekly visit to the library can give them excellent books to read and that is how you develop reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

It’s always something to be annoyed about, isn’t it? I don’t pay attention to this, so why would I be annoyed? People can do whatever they like for all I care. It’s none of my business.

If only such protection could be practiced.
However, it's not good to protect kids to this extent as they must live in this world as it is. The only way I can see is make sure as parents and grandparents to foster strong bonds and respect through which to impart good values and principles for life. A life with godliness and biblical principles. Giving them tools to withstand the sheer nonsense rife around them.

You cannot expect a six year old to be able to withstand the sheer nonsense of a woke elementary school teacher who the children put their trust in.

I also agree that homeschool should only be up to HS and then the kids should go to HS with the tools you have equipped them with to withstand, but don't think it is Biblical or wise to give your child into the hands of Satan to raise. The way I read the Bible fathers and mothers are tasked with teaching their children.

Not everyone can homeschool. Children need a good all round education and social life. I agree with your point though.
It is powerful for parents to ensure they are the foundation and reference point for their children rather than anyone else.

Yes, I think the church should become a "hub" for the homeschool. Suppose you had 20 elementary aged school children, the church could have a full time staff member so that the building is open, they answer the phone, etc. Then the parents of those children would probably be about 24 parents, they would decide how to divy up the supervision. By law the kids need 24 hours of class time, but it can fit your schedule, they don't say when during the week those 24 hours should be.

Also, most schools get $10-12,000 per student. This homeschool should also be given the same (the law needs to be changed and would be changed if all Christians would stand together on this). That would be $200,000. With that they could hire two full time teachers and spend $100,000 on school materials (computers). However, the parents should all be required to give one day (though that could include a Saturday, or an evening). This means you would have 6 adults supervising 20 kids, that gives lots of opportunity for personalized attention and lets the children know that what they are doing is important to their parents.
