Our public school system has systematically and consistently crumbled since 1980 when the Department of Education was formed in the United States under the Jimmy Carter administration.

The memory of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot. (Prov. 10.7) President Biden likes to say, “History will judge…” Indeed, historians judge from all kinds of angles, but God is the real judge.

School leaders encouraged students to wear clothing decked out with rainbows in solidarity and celebration of Pride Month. Some students, not happy with the plan, instead wore patriotic colors.

Almost anyone in my generation immediately flashes back to Luke Skywalker’s harrowing flight over the surface of the Death Star.
