About Alternate lifestyles bu Dolores Westcott

Dolores Westcott comments on schoolchildren being taught an alternate lifestyle:

I advocate parents taking their children out of public school and then the infamous, scandalous public school system would die a much-needed death. I took my own younger ones out of public school back in the 60's when I could plainly see the contentious system evolving as reflected in my middle son's agony of attending school each day on the stage of the auditorium in his school (lack of needed room) with a teacher who needed to re-start her own education at the kindergarten level. My present husband, who had been a vocational arts teacher in a very small town here in Oklahoma when we married in 1995, and I subbed for a few years after he retired from the public school system back in 1996, and I was appalled at the condition of the school system. The students (if we can call them that) were undisciplined, dressing wildly, behaving wildly, cursing at the teachers, and the teachers were not only helpless, but pitiful in their inability to control the situation. The whole system is broken, busted, and we would be smart to realize it. When a situation is untenable, my philosophy is to walk around it, over it, under it, or whatever is needed to avoid immersing myself and my loved ones in it.

Of course, I believe this is another symptom of the increase in horrors ushering in the end times, but I also believe we should do as Jesus admonished us to do and that is to occupy till He comes. Yes, we can fight back by petitioning, marching, raising our voices, all to no avail, because this is a system that has gone totally corrupt and what good could it possibly do to clean up one small area of the sewer while at the same time being overflowed with yet more sewage rushing at you? I don't think Jesus meant for us to beat our heads against a brick wall and all we end up with is a bloody head! No, the answer is to abandon the entire system which I did. It wasn't easy to pay the fee at the church school but I maintain we can do very hard things if we but choose. Today, the home schooling technique seems to reap great rewards and the parent then has some control over what his/her child is exposed to. Of course, I also realize that there are those standing over there in the stands laughing at me, but that is okay. There are those who will submit themselves to the Lord and those who won't!!!!!!!

I guess it is time to come down off my platform, but that is my philosophy about all this. I think this applies to TV shows, the internet, books, movies, public places that are objectionable, people that are objectionable, on and on and on. We need to come out and be separate from it, them, or whatever. There needs to be a clear distinction made between right and wrong and we need to stop going into the barrooms and telling the patrons that they need to limit their drinks to some arbitrary number which some wretched bureaucrat has behind the scenes decided is a safe amount to drink. If we can't do away with the barrooms, we at least need to stay out of them and don't lend them credibility or validity.
