My 17 yr old entered a debate with one of his super liberal senior teachers on this and other liberal/democratic topics yesterday.. (which has become a routine of sorts for the last several months with this guy).. I'm SO very proud of the common sense my 17 yr old brings to the table AND he's not only studying the situation at home so he can debate successfuly but also coaching the kids his age so they can understand as well and chime in to help.
If I dont do much else to mold this young man, I think he'll still be fine since he: Fears and honors the Lord and :believes you should labor for what you recieve!
Very proud of my 17 yr old!
Oh, and after Jacob was allowed to give a somewhat drawn out explanation of how/why oswamma's group is flushing our country down the toilet - the only response the teacher could give him was "Your way of thinking is not right"

to which Jacob responded and said, Ok Sir, please tell us why You and Yours believe we should give the country and the beliefs on which it was founded away, if you dont mind... at which point the teacher waved him off and told everyone to shut up and study
