meaning involve them in converting the “unchurched” to evangelical Christianity.
Is this what George W. Bush really intended for No Child Left Behind?
I think so, especially after we've been so bombarded by the GOP Insanity being exposed and enabled of late. This also may be what is truly behind the attack on our Public Schools. All just part of the scary christian dominance plan.
The Evangelical christians are creeping into Public Schools to get your kid!
This Needs to STOP!
The 4- to 14-Year-Old Window: Turning Children Into Evangelists in Public Schools
“Political movements (like Nazism and Communism) trained legions of children with the goal of carrying their agenda beyond the lifetimes of their founders….Even the Taliban places great emphasis on recruiting children,” wrote Dr. Wes Stafford, president of Compassion International, one of the largest worldwide missionary groups, in an introduction to Bush’s 2009 book, The 4–14 Window: Raising Up a New Generation to Transform the World. “May God inspire you to join us in His battle for the little ones!”
Damn! What is next with this god-illness?
Luis Bush also provided the theoretical rationale for the charge on public schools. In a nutshell: it’s a matter of taking the battle to the enemy.

“Our purpose is to get kids involved in the harvest”¾meaning involve them in converting the “unchurched” to evangelical Christianity.

“Ask them, ‘What is God’s punishment for sin?’ Tell them that the punishment for sin is being separated from God forever.
“Ask a child, ‘Can you think of anything you can do to get rid of your sin?’ Guide them toward salvation by asking questions like, ‘Who is the Lord Jesus? Why did God send his son into the world?’
“Ask questions to see if the child understands how to receive God’s salvation. Explain God’s condition for salvation: You have to admit that you sinned, and you have to believe in the Lord Jesus if you want to be saved.”

As we go through the motions of converting one another, I discern her reason for being here: her grandkids. She is afraid of losing them to liberal churches and damnation.
“My daughter goes to a liberal church,” she says despairingly. “Congregational,” she sniffs, with a combination of disdain and embarrassment.
“Their father told the kids that there is no hell! And my daughter says she wants to move away from our ‘fundamentalism.’ So I guess it’s up to me.” Her voice is almost ragged with exasperation.

He continues boasting about how effective he has been in sneaking into enemy territory with his balloons. “With ballooning, I got into a Catholic church, an Episcopal church,” he says with a roll of the eyes and a knowing wink.
Recently, he adds, he has been making real headway in the public schools. “You have to be sneaky about it,” he cautions. “You can’t say to a kid, ‘If you come to the group I’ll give you a balloon,’ because that’s considered a bribe and can get you in trouble. But you can stand outside the school doing balloons, or have kids tell other kids about it.
“I’ve been in trouble in just about every kind of every which way!” he gloats, puffing out his chest. “But you have to be very careful,” he adds with a dark, knowing look. “We have an enemy. And he is real. And he is effective.”

Her response is fast, short, and unequivocal: “The Bible tells us we don’t have to worry about anything!”
Is this religious freedom or religious entrapment?
What parent wants their child to be Harvested for God? That sounds so sick and evil!
People really believe that this is the correct way to live? the road to salvation? To give your life or your child's live up to be a slave to some weird church group?
It's one thing for an adult to choose freely, but it's a completely different thing to allow our children to be preyed upon, snuck up on and entrapped for a god or religion's Harvest.
