Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel -because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. – Genesis 11:1-9
This point of this story is that mankind attempted to build the Tower of Babel to reach to heaven and to act in rebellion to God. They desired to become God. So, God made them speak different languages so they couldn’t understand each other (previously they had all spoken the same language). God shut the rebellion down and scattered the rebellious throughout the corners of the Earth.
What does this have to do with education? That’s coming.
I was at a Christmas Party last week talking to a woman whose husband was President of a local school board. She was telling us what a great job he was doing and how proud she was of him, which was nice. Then, she made this statement after finding out that I was working with a group in my county as a voice for parents regarding how their children are being educated. She said, “Oh, well if you’re talking about CRT, it doesn’t exist in our schools. My husband has reviewed all the county textbooks and it isn’t there. There may be the occasional teacher who teaches CRT, but it isn’t in our schools.”
After I stifled the urge to laugh, I told her that of course her husband wasn’t finding CRT in textbooks. It doesn’t exist there. In fact, even when people observe classes or ask for lesson plans, they don’t find CRT explicitly taught. She stared at me blankly. I guess she thought that books would have a CRT Chapter or Section. I asked her if she had ever heard of “SEL.” She said she hadn’t so I explained to her that it was short for Social Emotional Learning and that it was basically the “operating system” for CRT and all other extremist ideas to be taught. Again, a blank stare. At that point our conversation stopped.
Democrat’s BABEL !!!!
