WHY PARENTS NEED

THEIR OWN INFORMATION NETWORK

1. Media deselects parent attracting news when it embarrases the system.

2. Creation Science doesn't deserve to be in the classrooms, so they say.

3. Signers of the Declaration and Constitution not taught in schools.

4. Religious humanism replaces Christianity in the schools.

5. Sex-abuse seminars for first and third graders.

6. Delinquint behavior books for elementary kids like "Murder in the Doll House" and Goosebumps series from Scholastic, Inc.

7. Outcome Based Education under many other names, a failure still being worked on children.

8. Few parents know the changes that are happening.

9. Christian Parents Information Network provides a storehouse of information.

10. This network exists for you to get and to give information. It exists to help parents communicate with other parents as in a town hall where everyone can hear everyone. United we stand, but isolated, we will be too often told, "You're the only one to ever say that."

The system is so big that it is nearly impossible for all the paid employes of the system to hear what parents have to say. And folks, there is no one out there in the system who is gathering all your opinions in one place.

Parents are the only ones with reasons to gather the information they need. We parents must do it ourselves because no one else is doing it for us.

Information in the media.

Each source is selective in what it prints.

Parents need their own selection. And that selection must not be by someone who must answer to any of the other media voices.

This means the parents selection must not be made by one who is paid by the newspaper, radio, or tv.

Neither can it be anyone who answers to the state school system.

And it can not be a parent who is concerned about their local political, economic, or social status more than they are concerned about the children's education. .

The parent's information network must be free to say whatever seems good and necessary to help the children's education.

School administration people have demonstrated a unified front with the system. For example printed headline of 'manufactured crisis in education' was a unified front saying there is no crisis.

Yet nation wide, many voices are working to reach you parents with evidence that demands a verdict from you the parent.

I am not satisfied that the school system says there is no crisis. I will not be satisfied until you the parents have seen the evidence and decided for yourselves. I am working to show the evidence of recent events in education, locally and nationally and reaching all the way to China, Russia, Europe and Mexico and Canada. When you have seen and understand, then the first step is accomplished.

Then it is up to you what you will do.

Will you remain silent as the school system says you are silent about the education of your children?

Will you remain uninvolved in the education of your children as the new World Book Encyclopedia article on Education says?

Or will you take charge of the training up of your children?

To be a parent or to be a supplier of clay to the school molding system, that is the question.

Too much literature even now referrs to parents as the supplier of raw material to be shaped and molded by the schools and then consumed by the end-user, business and industry. Does that sound like Brave New World? It is the forerunner. You can slow it down. If you act.

I am here to help parents get information necessary to guide their children's education.

Parents need the truth about training up children.

No one parent can gather all the details of what's happening. That's why we need our own network of information.

Gathering stories from each of you is part of my purpose. Stories from different schools, classrooms, parents and children to give weight to the truth of what is happening. No one parent can do it all. But together we can put together the information necessary to protect our children and guide their education.

Parents responsibility is to train up their children. Many courts are upholding the school system authority over the authority of parents and that is unacceptable.

After four years of trying to get these views published through radio, tv, newspaper, or by the school system, the world wide web is now my recourse to reach you.

Nation wide the books are being published by conservative traditional Christians in an effort to wake up the sleeping majority. Major city newspapers are carrying big stories that barely get mentioned in smaller towns.

One example is the incident in Pennsylvannia the Spring of 1996 where a school district took authority over the parents and over their children to force a genital inspection. That story didn't even break the media blockade for nearly two months. We read about it here a very long time after it happened.

Dallas read about it just as late because of the media stonewall to that story.

Why did the stonewall happen? Because the story went against the powers that control the school system.

By the way, the story in Dallas was much more extensively covered than it was here in Wichita Falls. Not many people saw the article because it was so small on a buried page in the Times Record News. I asked several people in the school district if they had read the story, and they had missed it. Now they've mostly all gone back and either read it or gotten filled in on what it said. My point is, that not even the school people necessarily saw that story when it was printed here. It got very little radio coverage. I say it is a terribly important story that shows the growing state attitude of control over our children.

Because of the reluctance to publicize stories that run against the school system, Not just this story, but other things that occured right here in Wichita Falls, it is hard to get local coverage when it run against the system. I have even handed out flyers on the street trying to wake up parents to the crisis in education. W.F.I.S.D. put out an education report in 1996 saying it was all a manufactured crisis.

Hopefully enough of you will read this and begin to take appropriate action. We cannot be too busy with work to take righteous care of our children's education. Because of the cares of the world, the love of many for the things of God, does grow cold. Let us return to our first love.

The courts are being double minded in their legal decisions. When the schools are taken to court for a poor education given to children, the courts say it was the responsibility of parents and therefore the parents can't sue the schools. Then when it seems convenient to the courts, when the parents want to exercise that responsibility to control some current event during the education process, the courts have said, No, after the children enter school, they are the responsibility of the school system. So you see how the courts do not favor the parents, but the courts are giving power and control to the state. The courts have to first take that power and authority away from the parents before they can give it to the states. Will you stand by and let this continue? I hope not.

This pictures a bias against parents that is turning the education of our children over to the state system. This too is unacceptable. I am working to wake parents up to the danger in our education system. If the present momentum is allowed to continue, it will not be long before the parents are just the suppliers of children for the state to educate according to whatever standards the state dictates. This idea has already been put in print through many sources. The parents supply the raw material, children. The school system prepares them for the new world economic order (see WFISD literature from 1996). And the commercial companies employ them as workers who are contented and conforming to the system.

Even the new student card being pushed by Texas educators right now is part of that system to identify students who conform well to the system.

Parents, you must begin now to reclaim your control over the education of your children.

EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Somebody has to show what is right. If the local beuracracies won't do it, then it is up to the people who pay their taxes to let their voice be heard. If all the people can hear is the voice of the government, then the people will be mislead by the government.

Why? Because our Constitution was not designed for the government to lead the people, but rather it was designed for the people to lead the government. That's why it says true and just government is by the CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE.

Godly or ungodly education ?

To define a godly education as referenced by our founding fathers and the Bible.

To uncover hidden agendas of people who want a nation of humanists.

To recover political power for the people who believe in God through His Son Jesus Christ.

To restore truth of our nation's heritage to the classroom, One Nation Under God.

Any other good material for families and their children, such as nutrition, exercise, play, sports, studies of the creation by God, news, money, and all things pertaining to daily life.

Emphasis on training up our children in a godly way.

Parents need information about things affecting their children. This network exists to provide that information. You are invited to supply information that others can use.

We need to know what's right and what's wrong. Then we can increase that which is right and decrease that which is not helpful to the life of our children.

This is your network. If you are a parent, your most important responsibility to anyone is to your children. Use this network to give others information that can help them and receive information for yourself. I will do all I can to provide information. I need input from you about things in schools you know. Together, we can put together a picture of what is happening in our schools. Then we can understand the influences affecting our children.

Parents responsibility is to train up their children right. Popular culture is trying to train up children in a way that is contradictory to traditional values.

This network exists because the popular media of newspaper, radio, and tv have consistently declined to carry information that "rocked the boat" of established government authorities. The popular media now exists for economic and entrenched political reasons.

The people do not have a voice that can be heard in the roar of the media.

COMMERCIAL FOR PROFIT ADVERTISING: Big companies advertising their products for profit can be heard for the price of their big dollars. This is evidenced by the tremendous sale of horror books to our children at your local grocery stores and drug stores and book stores. I'm speaking of a series by R.L. Stein called GOOSEBUMPS. These books have their own special sales and marketing at Target, Albertsons, many book stores, Ekerds, Walgreens, and especially through your local public school libraries. Those books are not helpful for our children, yet the school system has allowed them to flood the libraries from elementary to junior high.

ENTRENCHED GOVERNMENT BEURACRACY using the media to promote its government perpetuating view to the exclusion of contrary views of the people. This was evidenced when a local group representing hundreds of families with children in our public schools wanted to voice an opinion contrary to that which the school system was releasing. We were taped by the tv station and they were ready to go on the air, so they said. Then the next day, they said, they were sorry, but since the school board had no comment, they could not air the tape. All the school system had to do in that case to keep the family voice off the tv was refuse to respond to our message and the tv station played right into their hands.

CONTROL OF THE LOCAL PAPER: When a local editor wants to play it safe and not rock the boat, it is rare to see stories published that strongly attack what the local school system is propagating.

CONTROL OF THE EDUCATION MEDIA: Just consider the way our school system published their paper saying the voices were wrong who said there was any crisis in education. When asked to print both sides of the story, the school system denied that request. The school system spends big bucks to influence people into believing what they want them to think. The local paper mostly prints stories that are in agreement with the entrenched authorities.

PTA: The Parent Teachers Association is exclusively devoted to serving its national interests so far as I can see. When requested to send home a flyer of pertinent information to parents that did not originate at the national level, they said "NO." They claimed it was too political. Well they, the school system did send home letters saying what the entrenced powers wanted the parents to believe, but the opposition voice was excluded from the information loop. And the parents voted accordingly without seeing the other side of the story.

Who is the media serving? Maybe a better question is 'What is the media serving?' Seems to me the media is serving the big dollar. Media is bowing down to the dollar more than it is serving truth.

PEOPLE'S VOICE can now be heard on this web. Every big impersonal organization has a voice, but not the little people individually, until now with the virtual publication on your local network.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MEDIA: After World War II, mass media came into its own power here in America. Television, radio, national newspapers and magazines grew in power and influence until now we see the news and views as decided by a few. Today, hundreds of millions of people are influenced by the opinions and desires of a very few through mass media.

The GOVERNMENT has a voice, and you pay for it with the taxes you pay.

The CORPORATIONS have a voice to make their profit, and you pay for it with buying their products.The SCHOOL SYSTEM (government) has a voice paid for by your taxes to promote their views.

PEOPLE now have opportunity to make their voice heard through the world wide web. This website can be seen by everybody in the world who signs on to the world wide web. Local people can communicate with one another in their own city, and with other cities through all fifty states nation wide.

Think of it. Will you use this power to gain the truth for you and your children.

Neither the government, nor the school system, nor the for profit corporations have the interest of you and your children at heart. The governement is not a person, so it cannot have a heart. Neither the corporations nor the school system. But people have a heart, and it is the voice of the people that gives power to all the non-person power centers. Too often it has been the silence of the people. I seek to change that.

The corporations want profit far too often more than they want your best interest..

The government wants power and control. If you don't believe it then consider Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years taking power away from the family and giving it to the school system.

Taking power away from the states and giving it to the bigger and bigger central government.

Government knows it exists legally only by the consent of the people. Therefore government tends to let the people know only that which seems favorable to the government. Consider the U.S. Dept. of Education which has grown like a cancer since it formed just a few years ago.

Education in America was much better before the national government started dominating. Please remember this nation was made great by people educated in local schools without a national education beuracracy.

When you connect on the World Wide Web to the U.S. Dept. of Education home page, all you see is how great the new system is. There is no information to the contrary. The government agency is promoting itself, not the welfare of your children.

That is the reason for our need to unite as a body of parents and make our voice heard for the good of our children.

See the front page menu on Major Issues for specific examples of educational problems that you have a right to help solve for the good of your son or daughter.

Sincerely, Larry A. Rice
