I have total admiration for the work that Jen has
done. She is very brave. I am a 7th grade English teacher in Los
Angeles. I am glad that Jen brought up the matter of the Across the
Centuries/Islamic teachings. The history teachers at my school have
been clueless.
Last year one history teacher admitted she allowed a Muslim student to
lead a prayer to show how Ramadan works.
Now we have Planned Parenthood come to teach a two week unit on sex
education. Why can't our health teachers do this? I am considering
speaking out about this. I am not comfortable having an agenda
spreading organization indoctrinating our students. If you have any
ideas, I'd love to hear them! Jen, please keep up the great work!
Regards,

When I read your webpage, I wonder: where is the love
that Jesus taught? Certainly, the whole tone is the opposite of love.
You need to examine your conscience. You will be judged by your fruit.

Response:
Sir, Jesus taught a lot. What I do I do out of love for the
children that are being frightfully led to dangerous places. As far as
what Jesus taught and the way He taught it, you're right, He teaches
with love. And it's with love that He said in John 5:14 "quit sinning
or something worse may happen to you." Matthew 11:20, Jesus says, "WOE
TO YOU BETHSAIDA! WOE TO YOU KORAZIN!" In Matthew 7:5, "Jesus calls
us, 'Hypocrites.'" In Matthew 7:11, He says, "Thou you are EVIL...."
Jesus is invited by a Pharisee, which we ALL are at times, to dinner
and how did JESUS respond? Jesus goes to the man's house and OFFENDS
them with the SEVEN WOES. Then in Luke 12:51, Jesus tells us, "I did
not come to bring peace on earth but division." These are but a few
verses that I know of where Jesus showed "His love" but the point is
that we, you and I, are called to follow Jesus in all things. So let
us learn from the Master and be lead of the Spirit. (excerpts from
Matt)
Sir, I understand where you are coming from, you have no idea how I
have wrestled with the Holy Spirit to love the people I am confronting
face to face. I confess my heart has grown so cold and hard at time as
I open my eyes to what is being taught to our children. This past year
has been the hardest of my life. I have been going through such
growing pains that I hope to never go through again. I am sincerely in
prayer that my part is done in this as far as the media goes. But I
will go where He leads.
You said look for fruit. The media wanted to publish a post I had
about the fruit, you would not believe the things that have been
happening because of "BlessedCause" and what God did through it. But I
took down every page that pointed it out because if I bring attention
to it, it would put the events in jeapordy, and for what? Only my
pride to boast.
God has blessed me with so much fruit I am completely astounded. But I
do understand your concern, I have been concerned about my position
all year. I praise God for His mercy and leading. I failed the test so
many times, standing in front of the school board, but God doesn't let
me skip class, and He most definately led me to this place. If you
doubt me, please read the beginning of "God the Author" at my site.
Learning to love those who are determined to corrupt children, even if
it's only because they don't know any better, is not easy but it can
be done. Right now He has me in an extremely nurturing place of
healing and my heart is softening, thank God. You have no idea how
often I wanted to shut my eyes and be blind, ignore the facts and
focus only on the love of Christ and drink it in. Yes, I need to do
that, so very often, it's the only way to love those I've confronted,
and I can honestly, finally say, I do.
Thank you for your concern. Please pray for me. God be with you, JenT

Re: 'Across the Centuries'.
I have talked with my daughter's Middle School Principal and she has
decided to skip the chapter on Muslim history altogether. They skipped
from the Roman Empire and went directly to the Middle Ages.
I think the problem with the book can be traced to an Arabic Muslim
'scholar' who is listed as one of the authors of 'Across the
Centuries'.
By the way, it is unconstitutional for the U.S. or any State to teach
religion, because it breaks the 'Establishment of Religion' clause
(separation of Church and State). That book was indoctrinating our
children in some of the Authors' own religious views when it made
erroneous statements about the Christian faith. I think it was no
accident. The Islamic Mullahs want to indoctrinate our children,
subtly leading them toward Islam and making it look attractive.
Muslim clerics and apologists are infiltrating our colleges, and I am
sure that one of their future aims is to get control of our
educational system as administrators and teachers. May God help us and
our children. *******************
After I sent my e-mail to you , I began exploring some of the links on
your site, and the articles from newspapers. I sent an e-mail to
Senator O'Connell to let him know that I was 'totally and completely'
opposed to the subject matter in the text books. I am only one voice.
I also buy into some of the conspiracy theories, and I DO believe it
is largely about oil (money). It's always money.
So, I don't really need any more information specifically from you, as
I discovered there was a wealth of information on your web site. If
there is ever anything I can do to help you in this particular cause,
feel free to count me as an enlisted man in your small army.
Oh, I also intend to send 'shredder' a letter, I hope you don't mind.
Being a non - practicing Christian, I find that I must sometimes edit
my text very carefully...I promise I will. ;)
Happy Easter -GF

Like what you are doing. Have had some similar experiences. In Fairfax
County, Virginia, H-M came down hard on those of us who complained
about their dumbed down math books. Keep up your good work.
I did not see any link or reference to John Taylor Gatto on your site.
You might want to check johntaylorgatto.com and read his books. He has
the best insights to school issues of anyone I have read.
If you must keep your kids in public school, teach them to be
skeptical, to question what they are "taught."

Dear Jennifer Shroder:
Be of good courage and walk tall before the Lord. Repentance is your
witness! What could more clearly demonstrate the work of a loving God
in someone's life than open confession, and what does the nation need
more than that. You are a leader in this great cause, to bring us to
our knees that we may know Him and be blessed! David (...I have sinned
against the God alone) , Saul, Paul, and others were openly sorry for
their sins. What you have shared today is enough. It will not matter
what the paper does. That you have taken the steps is enough--you have
sought to walk with a clear conscience before God and man...now
release and forgive yourself:)
The Lord your God is Holy and His ways are above finding out. Like
Esther, you were born for such a time as this. There is Glory in His
house and you are the Lord's handmaiden. Be at peace child. He will
work ALL things together for YOUR good!
His love no knows bounds and he is well pleased daughter, trust His
love and MERCY!:)
May you walk TALL and STAND STRONG as you encourage yourself in the
Lord this day!
With Warm and Peaceful Regards,
CS
