Just as we see in Twitter-- Wolves Must Be Exposed We have seen truth unleashed and it is powerful. WATCH THIS AND KNOW THE TRUTH :  Our Alabama Legislature and Governor have failed Alabama Students, in fact in over a decade we have not reached the 25th ranking or gotten anywhere near but have been swimming in the very bottom. It is only right that parents expect accountability and transparency. Our very own next door neighbor, Florida has managed to get rid of Common Core and is now being touted by experts as having the best ELA standards and the best Math Standards. Why is our Alabama Legislature and Governor not having meetings with our next door neighbor instead of hurriedly processing our kids to more Wokeism disguised as help! A Biden Administration that has allowed lies to permeate to the point that many have died does not truly care aboutcour physical health let alone our mental health. In light of the wokeism permeating schools today talking and collaborating with our neighbor who have developed top standards...well this is the least we can do. Our motto is we dare defend our rights. Parental Rights demand knowledge in what actually is being taught in our schools. Click on pic of classroom to see what experts found when they studied the Florida standards. We can not continue experimenting on kids.   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children...Hosea 4:6   We also should realize the kids are tools for elections.

Will Your Legislators Lift a Finger To Call Gov Ivey? Let Them Hear From This Mother's heart.10/12/2022 God has set TRUTH loose! Listen to the 13 min video it gives you a complete picture of the design to destroy children.
PICTURES IN MOTHER/Counselor Speech can be read better on Rumble Click on Link
We are asking for an immediate action such as a Special Session or Executive Order as HB123 allows 14-18 to go on mental health counseling without parental permission. Already we are hearing students getting emails directly to take part in survey and parents do not know. These are dangerous times for the mind of these youth. Mental Health in schools must be examined in light of these speeches in the video. In an instant a child can be exposed to harm because parents are kept in the dark and this is an emotionally vulnerable age group. This unconstitutional attack on parents must be stopped immediately. Please ask your legislator to make a simple phone call to the Governor's office. They may tell you no, no, no and that it's impossible but please press them for children's sake (most would surely save their children from this). Who would put their children outside in the dark of night alone without any protection. That is what we have done with today's youth in today's dark world where schools are run by Bureaucrats who would mold children to Bidenism as he is funding these programs by the billions. Please insist for your legislators to call Ivey to do their part for us. Let's have faith and pray and see God move (Please Attend Nov 5th 1-4pm "Watchman To Protect The Children" Prayer Rally in Montgomery at State Capitol- bring your sign representing your county "Standing to Protect the Children"- check here for more updates). IT IS TIME TO STAND UP ALABAMA. May GOD bless us.
 Parents and Grands Need To Know So They Can Help Their Children.
There is so much information out there and parents must see beyond the words and see the big picture. Hear from amazing people with a heart for children inform you of what is going on. You will hear from variety of speakers to empower you as a parent who wants the best for your child and you know part of that is you having knowledge. Please be in prayer as it means a lot for your family and our future. God bless.
Teacher: What are you most proud of? Veronica: ..protest for our library...we held a protest...had news coming,called everyone, it really showed my voice mattered...parents re-posted on fb and even teachers were proud as well knowing we weren't in class but we were doing the right thing Teacher: that causes me to think about your experience..what you said is you were empowered to use your voice you saw your voice had value. Also mention that end result wasn't quite what you expected. So for those who are watching and wondering, well if you used your voice and had the protest and it didn't go in your direction then how do you feel your voice was valued? And why is it even important to continue to persevere in this way and attempt to be "agent of change" what would you say to someone who is wondering because of the end result not being exactly the way you wanted. Is it still important to still use your voice and what did you learn from that experiences that that a participant can probably glean from? Veronica: ..it gave me the opportunity to show students you need to be the change. You need to be the one to have the change. You have to be the one to start. Teacher: Thank you for that Veronica: ...it showed students if i can do it you can do it. Teacher: ..even though end result is not what you'd like there was this collective build up of students being agents for themselves in here and having their voices heard. And there was space created for you to actually voice a concern and voice what you wanted and make demands of the system as well. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  .
Resolution To Remove And Replace Emotional Thinking with Traditional Objective Education Whereas, one of the best researched, evidence-based therapies that are employed by psycho-therapists worldwide to treat mental-illness is to detect and replace cognitive distortions. A cognitive distortion is a dysfunctional way of thinking that often results in distress for clients. One of the most common and damaging is emotional thinking, and, Whereas, emotional thinking places an emphasis on subjectivity, feelings, emotions, beliefs, multiculturalism, political correctness, social engineering, globalism, evolution, sexual freedom, contraceptives, environmental extremism, global warming and climate change, victimization, diversity, acceptance of homosexuality as normal, and redistribution of wealth, and, Whereas, not only are students as young as six being taught how to manipulate others by using emotionally evocative words, the children’s cognitive processes are also being programmed to think in emotionally reactive ways, and, Whereas, for years the American public has been warned about how perverse, sexualized, rebellious, deceitful, fraudulent, hypocritical, corrupt and deviant American education has become, and now we have the videos, posters, video-clips, podcasts, photos, interviews and news reports in the post-election results to prove it, and, Whereas there are now proofs that Alabama contractor CASEL is delving into encouraging our young people to be protestors and supporting absence from school to be part of protests, citing it is good for them, and, Whereas Alabama parents want education focused on academics and not make an army of protestors out of their children or sexualize them, and Whereas, in light of the atrocities that has taken place in Vanderbilt University and reportedly that mindset is across 50 states, we demand a new look at all schools to make sure we weed this agenda out, and, Therefore, we urge our Alabama Legislators to repeal bills that puts in SEL (Social Emotional Learning Programs and Requirements) in our schools. We also urge our legislators to put back Traditional Education based on facts, and, We hereby resolve to ask our Legislators to have bills pre-filed before January to get Alabama children back on track without EMOTIONAL LEARNING and back to Traditional Education. Any Mental Health Programs a student is under must come from parents GIVING PERMISSION AND ENABLED to make choices on secular or faith based providers. As Vanderbilt University has shown the love of money has been so strong that the mutilation of children--became fully encouraged. This is something God-fearing Alabamians cannot tolerate. Resolution Resources: see www.Hopeink.tv click on call to action https://legiscan.com/AL/text/HB123/2022. CASEL which is how much of mental health $$ are being used. Pay attention at 12 min to 17 min in about the words agent of change, empowered, collective, demand: https://youtu.be/m3yHe45dipA "Young People as Change Agents: The Obama Foundation's Approach to Civics Engagement (Opinion)" https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-young-people-as-change-agents-the-obama-foundations-approach-to-civics-engagement/2018/01 https://learning.ccsso.org/social-and-emotional-learning-and-multi-tiered-system-of-supports. After which you need to add things up and realize the track the children are being put on to change our way of life, our nation and lots more money on the way to ensure goal is accomplished.

There is a battle for bodies, mind and souls and the enemies have infiltrated all institutions to win. Look at today's Administration who values the physical death of babies, the death of families and their finances and they blatantly show it by funding it while the American people wallow in inflation (some Democrat has called it theoretical). God says man does not live on bread alone but on every word from the mouth of God. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. " Matthew 4:4 KJV Evil men know the importance of words. Parents now know Common Core called College and Career Readiness Standards are the very opposite. Evil knows how to turn this world around with lies...same tool as in the Garden of Eden--nothing new. Here's some videos to share with your church as it is time they stop hiding in the closet but become involved as the enemy has targeted what the church is about and has almost won. The enemies have become so bold that grooming children as young as 3 is now promoted by Education System. Education Being Used To Groom Children As Young as 3 YRS Old The chaos is being shared everywhere. Are your children safe in schools, are you safe at the stores, are you safe anywhere...that is now a question when you step out into society. It doesn't matter the color---evil devours anybody they can and it starts with lies such as NY's Bail Reform to help the poor ( a ploy from Dems and their partner George Soros read more here: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/07/video-how-soros-spent-18b-control-media-defund-frontpage-magazine/ .  Here's a glimpse of the result: Elections Have Consequences and Being Informed and Involved is Now Necessary As Just Singing Louder in our Churches Like the German Christians did--Does No Good. An elderly German man who lived through the Holocaust tells the following story: I always considered myself a Christian. I attended a church since I was a small boy. We had heard the stories of what was happening to the Jews; but like most people in America today, we tried to distance ourselves from the reality of what was really taking place. What could anyone do to stop it? A railroad track ran behind our small church, and each Sunday morning we would hear the whistle from a distance and then the clacking of the wheels moving over the track. We became disturbed when one Sunday we heard cries coming from the train as it passed by. We grimly realized that the train was carrying Jews. Week after week that train whistle would blow. We would dread to hear the sound of those old wheels because we knew that the Jews would begin to cry out to us as they passed our church. It was so terribly disturbing! We could do nothing to help these poor people, yet their screams tormented us. We knew exactly at what time that whistle would blow, and we decided the only way to keep from being so disturbed by the cries was to start singing our hymns. If some of the screams reached our ears, we'd just sing a little louder until we could hear them no more. Years have passed, and no one talks about it much any more; but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. I can still hear them crying out for help. God forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians, yet did nothing to intervene. Ezekiel 33  The price of freedom is vigilance. Americans must open their eyes wide and choose wisely their leaders. May 24th is almost here. In Alabama folks have til Monday 5-9-2022 to register to vote for May 24th Primary which is pivotal. Governors like DeSantis and Youngkin are what every state needs. Tim James has been endorsed by Betty Peters who had served in the Alabama State Board of Education for 16 years and has been one of the leading fighters against Common Core. We need to seek wisdom for this opportunity to end the harm to our precious young people and our future. It will affect the fate of our state and our Republic. Please pray before you listen and after-- that God would show us the way. But please remember what God expects of us to continue to live in this "city on a hill". BTW here's a question with an answer many need to know--"James knows what to say, but I’m not sure what he will actually do. Still wondering about that toll bridge he built at the end of the road his dad built as governor. Why didn’t the state build the bridge too, instead of letting his son build it? Is that how he got his start in that business? Just asking. " Answer: The Foley Beach Express was a private project - road and bridge. The state didn't build the highway. The Foley Beach Express Comm, made up of investors and developers, purchased the land from the landowners in order to build the road and bridge cutting through to Canal Road to lessen the traffic burden on Ala. 59. This is a fact anyone can research by researching the land deeds showing where they purchased the parcels. When the project was complete, the road was vacated and deeded over to Baldwin Co. that didn't spend a penny to build it, but it is now a large part of their infrastructure. The bridge was sold to a bridge commission after awhile. Tim and his investors had to build the road for the whole concept to work. Without a shortcut the bridge was of no value to solve the traffic issue. Not a dime of State Highway Department /ALDOT $$ was expended. The landowners bought in and sold a piece of land to make the project happen. It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

So, what gives? There is a loss of the "fear of Almighty God". Pray for Repentance.
It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. Luke 17:2
Legislators need to accept that Education is Now Being Used for Indoctrination and ask God for wisdom to defend vs abuse precious children. Here's sample of how SEL is now tool for evil to destroy our nation:

SEL-Social and emotional learning- is about a wide range of skills, attitudes, and behaviors that can affect students.
Call to Action:
Please call 334 261-0500 and tell your House Rep to Vote NO on the following bills
SB171-Numeracy Act--to be voted on Tuesday and is being pushed by A+ which gave us Common Core ( which has SEL..check out page 5 and study multi-tiered systems of support for yourself.)

https://www.hopeink.tv/concerned-grandmothers-blog
Also Alabama Eagle Forum has some reminders for our Reps and Senators on the Truth that SB171 will be teaching Common Core Math and how did that happen...read here. Also a good point:
- If college-educated, K-5 teachers need math “coaches” with Masters’ degrees to show them how to teach, write lessons for, and test K-5 math students using the same failed standards we've had for 10 years, then you know the standards are bad! We didn’t need 700 coaches before Common Core! (BTW: We're talking about teaching simple K-5 math: addition-subtraction- multiplication-division)--from above link on Eagle Forum--Alabama has a “math crisis” but the "Numeracy Act" doubles down on failure
Also please ask your Reps and Senators to support Bob Fincher's bill to repeal common core--HB387 it is again in Terri Collins office to sit and die along with the bill to remove SEL in our schools HB457?
They hope you won't remember this fact--the same people that convinced us to support Common Core are now convincing our Legislators to support the Numeracy Act and they swear it will fix the problems...will you believe them again?:??
It was hard for legislators to believe the filthy books that are in our schools. But facts show it is and facts show they have destroyed dreams of families most specially the Black Community and our state!
YES, SEL IS IN Math

Time for churches to help the children and save them from what's going on in our schools...now using the minds of children as playground of the evildoers.
Gov. Ivey Not Listening To Parents--Could Have Gotten Rid of Common Core But Instead Has Helped Misled Leaders Open Problems of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that keeps giving us CRT. Stop them.
Remember the good things Common Core State Standards Initiative was going to bring for Alabama...here we go again with a Mental Health Initiative
https://www.alreporter.com/2020/02/27/state-leaders-unveil-a-major-mental-health-legislative-initiative/.
They apparently didn't learn the lesson that their Common Core State Standards Initiative aka College and Career Readiness caused Mental Health Harm (though they were warned-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCaXTNcNJRI) and their Biden/Fauci led-lockdowns and continued circle of masking, unmasking has added to the harm on students.

Parents called, as it was a bill that Prohibits Common Core but is called the Numeracy Act and places detailed guide for the Math. Problem- it detailed including Common Core Math- as exposed by Eagle Forum--Ogap as mentioned in bill is Common Core Math.
More than academics this has behavior modification and lots of assessment for compliance. We have seen how children have been manipulated through education with CRT and the Comprehensive Sex Ed...don't overlook this bill.
So a substitute bill ( of 52 pages) was submitted on March 1st and guess what? Senators were convinced this was going to fix our education woes starting in Math. It got passed in committee and voted on the Senate floor within one day--can we say fast-tracked? When you finally finish reading the 52 page bill...you wonder if legislators truly had time to read this fast tracked substitute bill and understand it. Note the terminologies Pause on these words- behavior, assessments, dyscalculia:

More resources for you to see the truth about what is being done to children...our future. Every Alabama citizen has a part to play. What we allow -- will happen. Each one can help stop this but it takes prayers and action:
Alabama didn't need Common Core-they already had good schools to pave the way. Sadly,
Arne Duncan touted one of our best schools as a "role model" to let in his National Transformation. Switch and bait from True to False...that is the story of the destruction of George Hall Elementary.

2. Look up Schooldigger.com and see chart of the slide of George Hall Elementary to the bottom...compare it with our state chart (from Ted Rebarber of Accountability Works) see it's demise along with ours.
3. A little insight on the school that was a role model school:

4. This school had the right foundation but Common Core State Standards Initiative aka College and Career Readiness came.
5. Maybe it's time to study what made it work to make children's future brighter again.

States are under siege under the cover of education:
“Parents normally send their children to school (or park them at the computer for pretend school) to learn academic disciplines, including English, math, science, and history. But in most public and some private schools, more and more time is being redirected from academic instruction to “social-emotional learning” (SEL)—the cultivation not of knowledge but of the “correct” attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and behaviors.
If this weren’t worrisome enough to parents who thought that is their job, SEL proponents such as the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) are now brazenly trumpeting an even more troubling aspect of SEL: the opportunity to turn impressionable students into leftist activists. … “
