It's December and today's episode is going to be about Freedom & Traditional Christianity.

I have questions and thoughts to share that I think are of particular value to non-christians, both educators and parents, during this Christmas time. This is not another rant about the war on Christmas. On the Fires of Freedom podcast, every topic goes to the heart of how and why are freedoms are slipping away before our eyes, and this Freedom & Traditional Christianity episode is no different.

I'm dedicating this episode to the Undercover Mothers Group, a group of about 800 women fighting the ideological tidal wave of woke values that is sweeping through the nation's most prestigious independent schools, just as it is sweeping through all our nation's institutions.

Woke values are overly anti-traditional Christian and Christmas and I'm going to make the case that the systemic disparagement of any group puts at grave risk the cognitive moral – and all other kinds – of freedoms for everyone I've ever met.

Regarding the Undercover Mothers Group, I only follow them online. I have no idea if these women are Christian or not and I don't know what their political views are or whether they agree or disagree with mine. I do know that they're fighting for their children's right to bond with their parents, and for them to see their parents as authority figures. They're fighting for their parental rights to make decisions for their children and they're fighting for psychological and sexual boundaries for their children, standing up against a self-righteous group of people.

They are fighting to reverse the overbearing tyrannical and moral influence of the National Association of Independent Schools on its member schools and in the influence that cascades down through the classrooms onto the students; overbearing tyrannical and a moral influence that reaches the sacred ties between parents and their children.

This movement, like all other parts of the woke movement, wants to put the state authorities and experts in control of children's hearts and minds. Remember that phrase from the Bush lead war in Iraq, we're going to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqis? Something similarly destructive and equally unexamined or self-examined is happening in the NAIS. It is a supremacist attitude that screams “our values are so good, so righteous, we have the right to force them on others” even if it harms the family, even if it comes between parent and child.

Now you may be thinking I have no connection to Independent Schools so what does this matter to me? Well, these schools have tremendous power and influence, and the vast majority of people in institutional power…
