It is amazing to see what God has done.  God says have faith.  Indeed nothing is impossible with God and what th enemy has meant for evil, God will use for good.  Alabama Senate passed SB119  to Repeal Common Core. 

  • It is now in House Education Committee and Terri Collins (chairman of Ed Committee) needs to hear from you if you want Common Core Repealed.

Here is link to Ed Committee members:

  • Please call (334) 261-0500 on Tues and Thursday and ask for Terri Collins...you can also call that same number and ask for your Representative and Education Committee Members

Before Common Core, Alabama was rated 25th in national rankings; today we are in the low 40's.
>The key variable that accounts for that drop is not lack of funds, not bad teachers, not terrible school plants--NO--it is Common Core.

Business leaders were used, as well as military leaders.  They even bused in educators in droves to convince us.

However facts are out.  Many schools have failed and have been disrupted.  Many children have been harmed and innumerable stress pushed on their young minds and bodies read here.  Even a top school that was used as a role model on the Race to the Top application, for winning a national award for narrowing the achievement gap,
  • (George Hall Elementary School in Mobile) has been destroyed and forgot. 

There's pdf charts (see slides on left) from Theodore Rebarber of Accountability Works done Feb 2019 to share with everyone specially legislators.  Shocking the failure and ignored for so long.  So much wasted money but worse so much wasted futures of children...they are priceless and they have paid the price.  Watch video on left-Common Core-sheep to the slaughter and listen as mental health counselor (30 yrs experience) tell you the harms.  Watch rest of videos for more info.


Common Core has failed per Bill Gates and business leaders need to understand that truth.  They also need to understand that all that technology do not make children smarter as tech execs confirm that with their action for their very own children..sunshinestatenews.com/story/parents-have-been-right-all-along-about-common-core-officials-should-listen.read here.

The secret about the data mining being done in schools is now out.

So hard as the other side tries--Common Core must go as parents have been praying for a very long time and sadly many children have caused self-harm to the point of no return.  As one of the leading writers for ELA, Sandra Stotsky had said....Common Core is like poison and it doesn't matter how expensive it is...you must get rid of it.  That would be the logical conclusion for those who truly love children.   God certainly does so we better get on board.  If you are one who have been supporting Common Core, pray and let God lead you to truths that can set you free.  Here's great links to contact legislators.
A Boy Is Healed
"And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”  Matthew 17: 14-21

 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.  2Chronicles 7:14-15

Calling on those are called by his name...

The above Scriptures are so very encouraging during these dire times but it also serves a notice on what is expected.   God has laid a charge for us who care about children and has given us an invitation to come boldly to Him in prayer.  He said the the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God to the pulling down of strongholds.  The Founding Fathers relied heavily on giving their troubles to God in prayer.  Let us not forget to follow their legacy and do the same for our families of today. It is unfortunate that evil men have turned education upside down and teachers can not be blamed as they themselves are under duress.  Join us as we lift children, families, teachers and other educators in prayer.  Please share this article throughout and put the hashtag #Praying4thechildren.

If you are a family who have children suffering through the Common Core State Standards Initiative, please join us on March 20, 2019 at the steps of the Alabama State Capitol.  This is a special time where hurting families will be prayed for and get a chance for their concerns to be heard.  It is a time when caring churches can help stand with them.  One incredible testimony of the harm that's been done is the story of the George Hall Elementary School in Mobile...click here for more.

Also read the Arne Duncan speech where he used George Hall Elem as an example.  Event will be from 10 am to 2 pm and we will be joined by praying churches along with experts who will share information that will show how important it is to end the harm.  Just as the pro-life movement turned when they showed the video the Silent Scream of how the child is being harmed in the womb, we hope to share with you the facts on how the child is being harmed in the mind.  It is heartbreaking but we know that God is our Redeemer.  Yes, the problem is big but we have a bigger God and He is able to help us.  Be sure to join us if you are able and if not be sure to watch it on fb live.   We will give you a list of medias that will be showing the event.

Check back on this article for more updates.  See the downloadable pdf file that you can print and share with your churches.  We thank God for his Word is a lamp unto our feet and He is our hope and help.

God Warns...

Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!  It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble."  Luke 17:1-2
