A CALL TO ARMS

By Mickey Nichols

I am completely astounded at how extreme leftist ideologies have gotten so deeply ingrained into so many different institutions in America. Politics, of course, lead the way, followed by the educational environment, corporate structures, the entertainment industry, healthcare facilities, and even down into such small areas as community HOAs and local sports associations. It seems as if a small minority of people have wedged their way into positions of leadership and policy making in the media, in school boards, and, of course, again, politics, and have agendas counter to the beliefs and desires of most average Americans. The “average” Americans I write of are so busy in their daily lives of work, raising a family, keeping up with inflation, etc., that they hardly have time to devote to fighting against the rising tide of socialism, CRT, LGBTQTIA+, “inclusion” and diversity, corruption at high levels, liberal judges, illegal immigration, and a whole basketful of other damaging rules and regulations handed down by wrong thinking think tanks. It is akin to the story of the crew that was sent to drain the swamp but couldn’t accomplish the task because they were so occupied with fighting the alligators off their butts that they didn’t have any spare time to work! See also the obstacles placed in front of our previous President who was handicapped from Day One of his term by false accusations of complicity with a foreign government that was knowingly perpetrated by the America-hating crowd of communistic leaners. Even today after all the lies have been exposed these same people refuse to accept the true facts. And I do realize that the term “true fact” should be an overstatement but in today ’s world a “fact” is no longer true unless a privileged few says it is true! In other words, it is only “true” if it agrees with their narrative. Thank goodness for the brave news outlets that dare print and expound the truth! Let me shine a spotlight on one arena that is particularly galling to me personally and that is coopting of parents’ jobs by evil intended school administrators and officials. I am referring to the evilness of

promoting “Genderism” or other types of nonsense designed to cause confusion and doubt in young children's’ minds about their sexuality.

Many school districts across the country have either in-school or after-school activities or “clubs” that have only one objective: to foster in a young child’s mind that he or she might be the opposite sex of what God intended for them to be. And all of this is absent the approval or even the knowledge of almost all parents! The “best” age to perpetrate this indoctrination is around ten to thirteen years old and mostly happens in middleschool age children. How appalling is the idea that these self-appointed overseers of what is “best” for children deem to do so under the very noses of the parents but without their knowledge and approval! I recently read of one case of a twelve year old female who asked her Mother for permission to attend an after school “art club” class only to be led to believe at this “club” that they may very well be living a life as a female when they may “identify ” as a male! And the instructor of the class made a point to ask all the children to not tell their parents what the actual intent of the “club” really was. Fortunately this particular young lady confided in her Mom that she was disturbed and confused after the “art” class and that she was not at all comfortable about the content of the class. The mother was, of course, livid that this had happened without parental permission, and began the process of seeking explanations about the “art club” . What she and her husband found was that the school district at first adopted a “stonewalling” attitude towards them and their questions and when this tactic did not deter them the school then began to make threats against them. The threats involved reporting the parents to the local Department of Child Services as potential child abusers. Ironic, isn’t it, that the abusers themselves want to report the parents as abusers. But this tactic has begun to be used more and more against any individual or group who doesn’t meekly go along with the far left looney tunes domestic terrorists who have gained a modicum of control in this country. And as more and more leftist liberals obtain positions of authority in the educational institutions, in the courts, in the corporate world, the media, and, especially, the government, we (I write here of common sense people wanting to do the right thing for their children), have to begin to fight fire with fire. Seek help from any viable source such as conservative groups who have banded together as organizations

that have the resources to combat the statue quo. These organizations have the financial wherewithal and experience to properly and legally battle the entrenched liberality that exists in our school systems. If you are in a location that doesn’t have this type of organization locally, then try and find a national group with the same goals as yours. Several or even many of these foundations exist solely to listen to your story and, if possible, will add you to their litigation lists as plaintiffs. If you cannot connect with any of these groups, then form your own organized group of freedom fighters. Gather like-minded individuals together, because you can be certain that if it has happened to you or your child that it has happened to others as well. Listen to each others’ stories and create a well thought out rebuttal to what you see as propaganda from the left promoting any of the aforementioned areas that denigrate your parental rights and responsibilities. Many times the mere outing of their “secret” or clandestine agendas will cause the disappearance or wilting of these antiGod ideas because the light of the truth will blot out the darkness of evil. Sometimes, though, evil roars back at you so you need to be prepared for the backlash. Oftentimes only a legal ruling will quell the advancement of this evil

simply because it is deeply rooted with powerful or, even worse, blinded people. ‘Ole Satan has a tricky way of shading truths to the point that even heretofore good people can be fooled into going along with profound error. Swimming against the tide is always difficult but we are fighting for the moral and spiritual lives of all the children of America. Indeed, ALL of our lives are at stake here. As the number and overall percentage of Christians in America continues to diminish those of us who remain as Christians must step up our game. We must organize, we must not falter, we must not allow one single child to be subjected to the evilness of the LGBTIQUA+ gang and their GSA, gender identity, transgender, “identity closets” , or other “secret” on campus gatherings that promote false ideas of sexuality to our youngsters. Parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, and all concerned citizens who do not want this filthy, perverse, Satan-inspired garbage poured into the minds of our school age children must rally together to demand cameras in classrooms and clubs at school and other locations where adults meet with children. The future of our nation is at risk. The other side wins when we simply do nothing. Get involved. Get active . Elect decent, Godfearing people to school boards and then inspect, inspect, inspect! People do what you INSPECT, not what you EXPECT. Do not let even one tiny episode of wrong-doing go unchallenged, for by doing so you will embolden the next wrongdoer. And, lastly (which really needs to be firstly!) PRAY and ask the Lord to forgive us for not acting and praying sooner and to shut down all evil doers in the lives of our children. God bless and keep all who enter into this fray.
