  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Report from parental rights watchdog finds 'social justice' guidelines in nearly 200 K-12 classrooms nationwide

As the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces federal indictment on alleged fraud charges, a new investigation reveals its educational arm has quietly influenced K-12 classrooms nationwide.

According to a May 12 report from parental rights advocate Defending Education, SPLC’s "Learning for Justice" (formerly Teaching Tolerance) materials and "Social Justice Standards" have reached 218 school districts, 30 state government entities, and 42 states, including Texas.

The report describes the Learning for Justice materials as content that “often pushes or reinforces far-left cultural and political ideologies such as left-wing activism, anti-racism, Black Lives Matter, gender ideology and queer theory, white privilege, white supremacy, whiteness, and transgenderism.”

Through its official channels, SPLC “has been able to integrate its far-left content and materials into K-12 schools throughout the country,” with links to the SPLC website and documents found on school district webpages, in teacher professional development and trainings, classroom lessons and other school district resources, according to the report.

SPLC has always left a bad taste in my mouth. They often target Christians who had traditional, conservative "old-school" values. ugh
