There are 1,183,700 violent crimes committed in the public schools in a given year, according to reports from the Department of Education and the Department of Justice. But there are only 1,209,000 violent crimes reported to the police in any given year—in the entire country! So what gives? Many violent crimes happening in schools are not reported to the police, including half of the “serious” violent incidents. Why are there more violent crimes happening in the public schools than on the streets? Are parents aware of the pressure cooker of violence simmering away in public schools in the present day?
In the wake of the Voice of the Martyrs tragedy, Kevin Swanson also addresses the problem of suicide among “professing” Christians.

“ Great Sermon! ” Wake up fathers and mothers! Our families are being destroyed and we are sitting back letting it happen! No Christian child should be in the secular, humanist public school system. They are not misionaries. They are victims of the worst atrocity ever committed on any child and this by their own parents. Wake up sleepy! God is holding us accountable for the children He entrusted to us.

“ Great Sermon! ” "Not only is suicide a sin, it is the sin. It is the ultimate and absolute evil, the refusal to take an interest in existence; the refusal to take the oath of loyalty to life. The man who kills a man, kills a man. The man who kills himself, kills all men; as far as he is concerned he wipes out the world. His act is worse (symbolically considered) than any rape or dynamite outrage. For it destroys all buildings: it insults all women. The thief is satisfied with diamonds; but the suicide is not: that is his crime. He cannot be bribed, even by the blazing stones of the Celestial City. The thief compliments the things he steals, if not the owner of them. But the suicide insults everything on earth by not stealing it. He defiles every flower by refusing to live for its sake. There is not a tiny creature in the cosmos at whom his death is not a sneer."
-Orthodoxy by Gilbert K. Chesterton. May Mr. White rest in peace.

“ Great Sermon! ” AGAIN 1967 was the YEAR they relaxed the dress code. This junk has started the same year? I used to be Catholic, and the priests told me an my peers in Catechism said that HARD ROCK not Rock and Roll, had a bad spirit behind it. I remember the secular music taking a turn in 1964 from 1963 as well. Could it be because some protection of the nation was taken away? The music in 1963 was brighter than the years coming in sound...WOW suicides among CHRISTIANS?! this is scary!
