Raising Politically Incorrect Christians - Part 1

Raising Politically Incorrect Christians - Part 1...Continued from page 1

JoJo Tabares

So here you are, about to graduate your son or daughter in the next year (or three or ten), and send them off to . . . where? If your child chooses what's behind door number one, here's what they win: A four-year indoctrination into the secular world with new and improved peer pressure to adapt to and adopt secular ways.

According to the article College Faculties: A Most Liberal Lot, Study Finds, written by a Washington Post Staff Writer:

  • A March, 2005, study of the Forum, an online political science journal, found that "By their own description 72% of those teaching at American Universities and colleges are liberal."
  • "The disparity is even more pronounced at the most elite schools where, according to the study, 87% of faculty are liberal."
  • "The professors and instructors surveyed are strongly or somewhat in favor of abortion rights (84%)" and believe that "homosexuality is acceptable (67%)."

Conservative media reports countless examples of liberal college professors who no longer leave their political views at the classroom door, preferring blatantly crafted assignments that presuppose a liberal bias and negative view of God and Country.

According to TownHall.com columnist Paul Weyrich, this has been going on for forty years. His experience is recorded in his online article where he relates his days with a professor at the University of Wisconsin who assigned readings from the left and "worked overtime to discredit the founders of our once great nation." A very bold move, considering that most professors at that time were careful about allowing their views to spill over into the classroom and all over their students. He describes how this affected his conservative friend whose father did not understand what was going on in the classroom. His friend, beaten down emotionally by his father, and feeling defeated, slowly began to "adopt the beliefs of his Communist Professor."

Only twenty years ago, I had similar experiences. Friends without a strong foundation in the Bible, and lacking the communication skills to articulate their beliefs, found themselves growing further away from the Father and His plan for their lives.

Have things gotten any better in the last twenty years? Not at all. David Horowitz's book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America exposes what most of the mainstream media will not tell you: 

  • "The Stanford University professor who refers to jihadist suicide bombers as 'martyrs' and denounces America on Al-Jezeera TV."
  • "The criminology professor at the University of Colorado who gives final exams that require students to 'Make the case for gay marriage' and to explain why the United States liberation of Iraq is 'criminal'."
  • "The Brooklyn College professor who calls religious people 'moral retards'."

What is an 18-year-old conservative Christian teenager prepared to reply? How long would your son or daughter be able to hold up under circumstances like this? More importantly, how would that affect his or her walk with the Lord?
