In recent years, political correctness has taken over the public school classrooms in the United States and Canada. It is coming out that publishers are actually giving textbook writers social engineering guidelines that they are to follow. For example, one educational consultant in Canada has recently come forward and has admitted that he purposely featured girls in a positive light and boys in a negative light in textbooks due to the direction he was receiving from the publishers. The following quotes from that consultant recently appeared in a mainstream newspaper article up in Canada....
"If you had a picture of a person doing something positive, winning a race, performing an experiment successfully, etc., [you had to] make sure it was of a girl."
"If you had to have a picture of someone doing a bad thing - bullying, making a mistake, being unsure which course of action to take, etc. - the image was invariably of a boy."
"The side effect was to show the boys that they are rarely winners and we expect less of them."
"The unstated assumption was that boys did not need the same degree of encouragement."
Well, those are just words, right?
What kind of harm can they really do?
A lot, actually.
Today, boys rank far behind girls in nearly every measure of scholastic achievement in the United States and Canada.
Today, boys are much more likely to have behavior problems, much more likely to repeat a grade and much more likely to drop out of school altogether.
Today, women make up approximately 60 percent of the students at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.
We have a huge problem.
Our boys are falling behind and they are not becoming men.
This yet another sign of the moral decline and the moral collapse that is going on in the United States and Canada.

The following is a poem submitted by a reader of one of our other blogs named Rita. In many ways it does a great job of capturing the anguish that many of us feel over the moral decline of America. We think that you are really going to enjoy this....
One of the biggest con jobs in U.S. political history was pulled on American conservatives over the past decade, and most of them still don't even realize it. For two elections, and for over 8 years, George and Laura Bush portrayed themselves as true conservatives who were willing to fight for Christian values. Well, it turns out that the Bushes were never "conservative" at all. In fact, in public statement after public statement they have denied the very basics of the Christian faith. For example, during a recent interview with Larry King, former first lady Laura Bush revealed that she is actually in favor of legalized gay marriage and a woman's "right" to abortion.
This is a woman that conservative women all over the country have looked up to and have endlessly praised.
So what are they supposed to think now?
The truth is that Christians and conservatives collectively spent millions of hours working to get the Bushs into the White House under the assumption that they were conservative Christians.
But Laura Bush sounded very much like Hillary Clinton during this interview with Larry King....
What is that quote that George W. Bush gets criticized for so much? Something about not getting fooled again?....
There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.
Well, it turns out that the Bushs fooled us over and over and over and over.
But sadly, the truth is that the signs were there all along, but conservatives and Christians did not want to see them....
*George W. Bush was a member of the Satanic Skull & Bones Society:
The reality is that in his interviews with the press, George W. Bush was very open about the fact that he does not believe what Christians believe.
In one absolutely stunning interview near the end of his second term, George W. Bush actually said that the Bible is "probably not" literally true, that he prays to the same God that other major religions such as Islam do and that he believes in the scientific evidence for Darwinism.
This is his exact quote when he was asked if he believed that the Bible was literally true....
"Probably not. No, I'm not a literalist, but I think you can learn a lot from it."
The cold, hard reality is that George W. Bush has never embraced evangelical Christianity.
For example, George W. Bush publicly said many times that Christians, Muslims and all other religions pray to the exact same God. In fact, Bush says that he prays to the God of Islam, that non-Christians and Muslims will go to heaven and that he has "nothing but praise" for Islam.
You don't believe this?
Check this out.
The following a portion of a transcript of an interview during which Charles Gibson of ABC asked George W. Bush his thoughts about religion.....
CHARLES GIBSON: Do we all worship the same God, Christian and Muslim?
PRESIDENT BUSH: I think we do.
CHARLES GIBSON: Does ...
PRESIDENT BUSH: We have different routes of getting to the Almighty.
(Later in the interview.....)
CHARLES GIBSON: Do Christians and non-Christians and Muslims go to heaven in your mind?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes, they do. We have different routes of getting there.
But it wasn't just during the Charles Gibson interview that George W. Bush declared himself to be a universalist.....
In a shocking interview with Al Arabiya television, Bush said the following....
"I believe in an almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God."
During that same interview Bush also said this....
"I believe there is a universal God. I believe the God that the Muslim prays to is the same God that I pray to. After all, we all came from Abraham. I believe in that universality."
"I want you to convey this message to Mr. Sistani. Tell him that I pray to the same god he prays to... Tell Sistani I have nothing but praise for your religion."
Now does any of that sound "Christian" to you?
According to George W. Bush, Jesus must have been mistaken in John 14:6 when He said this.....
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
How in the world can anyone continue to claim that the Bushs are conservatives or that they are evangelical Christians?
The truth is that they never have been.
It is time for conservatives to face up to the truth....
If you ask most Americans, they will tell you that slavery was abolished back in the 19th century.
But that is a lie.
Today you can find slavery all over the United States. Not only is "human trafficking" a major problem (and an issue that we have touched on in other posts), but migrant workers all over the agricultural areas of the United States are being horribly exploited.
Because they are not legally here to work, employers feel free to pay them far below minimum wage. By paying them barely enough to survive, these employers have created a modern day form of slavery.
The following video about modern day slavery in Florida is by Paul Franz, a graduate student at the University of Miami School of Communication and the Knight Center for International Media.
The video follows the story of Joseph Dieune, a Haitian migrant worker who visited the United States to make money for his family back home. He works at a small agricultural center located just south of the city of Miami, and his life is far from easy.
As you watch this video, ask yourself if this is the right thing for American employers to do....
The truth is that this is yet another sign of the moral decline of America.
How in the world can we allow this type of thing to go on in the 21st century?
Unfortunately, this type of exploitation is only going to get worse.
Modern day slavery is going on all over the world, and as the moral collapse of the world continues, slavery is going to thrive even more.
Is the moral decline of America accelerating? Recently we have seen an avalanche of headlines that show how bad the moral collapse of America is getting. Washington D.C. has become an absolute cesspool of corruption, but the rest of the nation is headed straight into the moral toilet as well. But we should not be surprised. This is what happens when a nation rejects God. Everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes, and it is rapidly leading to moral chaos. Let us pray for our fellow Americans and let us show lots of love in the midst of this mess. As evil grows stronger and hearts grow cold, those who let the love of Christ show will shine out like brilliant stars on a very dark night.
The following are 16 examples from just this past week that show how the moral collapse of America is accelerating....

#2) The opening prayer at the opening session of the Virginia General Assembly was delivered by a radical imam.
