Wow, if this is the way that women are going to do marriage now, then sign me up! In today’s post, I’m going to talk about this family from Montogomery, Alabama. Since I’ve been complaining a lot about the public schools lately, I thought it would be good to have a positive article about what a homeschooling success story. And surprise: they’re not all doing easy degrees in English and music.

This is from the UK Daily Mail:

The parents of 10 children who all started college before the age of 13 insist their precocious sons and daughters are ‘not geniuses’ – instead crediting their ‘efficient’ homeschooling regimen for their family’s academic success.

Monalisa Harding, 53, and her husband Kip, 53, who are high school sweethearts from San Jose, California, homeschooled all their children from the same syllabus instead of sending the kids to traditional schools.

They knew they were on the right track after getting each of their first three children through high school by the time they all turned 11, and their younger kids went on to achieve similar success.

Their oldest child, Hannah, went on to earn a bachelors degree in mathematics at the age of 17 from Auburn University, Montgomery in 2004 – making her the first child prodigy.

Last year, their youngest child Thunder, 11, passed his entrance exams to college, joining Lorennah, 13, who is already in her second year.

Those of the Harding siblings who have already graduated from college have gone on to become doctors, architects, spacecraft designers and lawyers.

Now when I talk to women about raising effective children, what I mean is (at a minimum) is that they will finish college or trade school and move out of the house. Ideally, I’d like to see these kids go on the graduate school or specialized training in some trade. The best would be to get some people who can make the Christian worldview look more reasonable in the culture culture. Someone like a William Lane Craig or a Stephen C. Meyer or a Jay W. Richards.

Well, this family has some people doing advanced degrees:

Hannah earned her bachelor’s in mathematics at the age of 17 from Auburn University, Montgomery in 2004 – making her the first child prodigy.

Last year youngest child Thunder, 11, passed his entrance exams to college, joining Lorennah, 13, who is in her second year.

Eight of the brothers and sisters have already graduated by either 15 or 16 – and all went to university before they were 13.

The most recent family graduate Mariannah, 16, is now applying to do her masters in horticulture in January.

[…]Seth Harding, 20, child six of ten, became Alabama’s youngest lawyer at the age of 19 after getting his law degree and passing his professional exams during the pandemic.

If you’re wondering what their worldview is, they’re Christians. Page 2 of their book says this:

First off, we are Christians. We love our Lord Jesus with all our hearts and have dedicated our lives to teaching our children to love Jesus first and others second. If we succeed in this, then we have fulfilled our purpose on this earth.

Second, we are not perfect. We fail all the time. We fight just like everybody else. We yell at each other in anger at times, yet we know how to forgive. We try really hard to forgive as we have been forgiven.

Third, as we said, we are not geniuses. Every member of our family is of average intelligence. There is nothing special about our genes. Our kids have been able to start college by the age of twelve because of two things: the grace of God and the vision to accelerate our teaching methods that we have come to through Him.

Elsewhere in the book:

We believe in a Christian worldview and creation. We believe that there is scientific evidence that supports intelligent design. Uncle Sam will pay for kids to learn only a single theory, which limits diversity of opinion and growth.

Our right to pray in school is being challenged everywhere (and has already been taken away in many places) even though it is still our constitutional right.

And this is how they get around the dangers of kids being pressured / bullied by their same-age peers:

We believe teaching kids in an age-segregated environment is not the most effective way to develop real-life social skills and exposes them to peer pressure. It is not the way the real world works. In the real world, we encounter people of all different ages. We want to teach our kids how to interact with people of all ages. Homeschooled kids are less peer-dependent and better socially adjusted for the real world.

Same-age peers have no demonstrated achievements in the real world. They bully other kids into mistakes like transitioning genders, premarital sex, abortion, drinking, etc. All the emphasis is on stupidity like sports, movies, music, popularity, gossip and looks. I would rather my kids be influenced by adults with demonstrated achievements in ministry and in private sector jobs.

I did a quick search through the book, and there’s a ton of Bible verses and talk about Christianity in it. This is nice. It seems like these days only East Indians, West Indians (like me), Asians and Africans are doing a good job of raising kids who will make a difference. Nice to see some normal white Christians talking the education of their kids seriously. These days, it seems like parents just want to hand their kids off to atheist strangers. Or they just give their kids everything they want so their kids will like them.

Last point. On dates, I always ask young women about their Christian role models, and then immediately follow up by asking how they intend to raise children like their role models. If a woman offered me 10 Christian kids in college before the age of 13, I would take that deal.

I’d like to see women offer men more than just youth and beauty. Every man wants a legacy. And unless a man can work AND homeschool at the same time, he’s going to be leaning on his wife to build him that legacy. Putting the kids in daycare and public schools so they can fumble around with condoms and cucumbers is not valuable to marriage-minded men like me. Marriage is risky and costly for men. We expect a lot. What do Christian women bring to the table? It better be more than “be nice”, “read your Bible” and “pray”. I achieved results, and I expect results from my kids.

Prior to the 2020 election, Joe Biden was credibly accused of sexual harassment. But Biden voters chose to ignore this, believe that he has excellent moral character, compared to that nasty Trump and his mean tweets. After all, they said, could the father of Hunter Biden be a bad man? He seems to speak so nicely. Now we are finding out more about him, from his pick for the Supreme Court.

Rachel Bovard reports on it for The Federalist:

Senate Democrats have signaled their intent to begin confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, as early as next week. Thus far, the only information uncovered about Judge Jackson by the intrepid corporate press is that she will be the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

But research released this week by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, calls into question Judge Jackson’s judicial philosophy concerning sex predators, particularly sentencing for child sex predators.

Senator Josh Hawley had a whole Twitter thread that I re-tweeted. It contained all of his research about the candidate. It’s significant that her actions reflected her ideas about judges being lenient to sex predators:

While at the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson advocated for eliminating the existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn, suggesting that at least some people who possess child porn aren’t sexually motivated, but simply “in this for either the collection, or the people who are loners and find status in their participation in the community.” While on the federal bench, Judge Jackson demonstrated a continuous string of departures from sentencing guidelines for sex predators.

You can see why a judge like this would be so suitable to gropey Joe Biden. This is his dream come true:

In one case involving a sex offender over the age of 18 caught with multiple images of child pornography, the sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of up to 10 years. Judge Jackson sentenced the perpetrator to three months. In another case, where the criminal distributed more than 102 child pornography videos and sent lewd pictures of his own 10-year old daughter, the guidelines recommended 97 to 121 months in prison. Judge Jackson sentenced him to 71 months. Hawley’s Twitter thread lists five other similar sentencing examples.

The Democrats dismissed these charges against their candidate. They seem to be more concerned that she is a woman (whatever that is – they wouldn’t define what a woman is) and that she is black. Apparently, the only way for Democrats to choose a judge was to choose one who has the right genitals and pigmentation. You can’t look at her demonstrated actions supporting sex predators. You have to look at her appearance. Reading is so hard!

The sexual harassment allegation against Biden

Do you remember Joe Biden’s sexual harassment accusation? The mainstream news media tried to cover it up, to help their candidate, but I thought the accusation was very credible.

Unlike most hate crime hoaxes perpetrated by Democrats on themselves, Tara Reade filed a report with the police against Joe Biden.

Far-left Newsweek reported:

Tara Reade filed a criminal complaint with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department of accusing the 2020 Democratic nomination of pushing her against the wall in a Senate corridor and penetrating her with his fingers, according to Business Insider.

This is important, because she can be held criminally responsible for making a false charge. This is not a frivolous woman making a frivolous charge to smear someone she doesn’t know. She worked for him, and she filed a criminal complaint against him.

In addition, she actually told people about the alleged sexual assault at the time it was committed.

The far-left Business Insider reports:

In March, when a former aide to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused the candidate of sexually assaulting her in 1993, two people came forward to say that the woman, Tara Reade, had told them of the incident shortly after it allegedly occurred — her brother, Collin Moulton, and a friend who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.

Now two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain details about Reade’s claims. One of them — a former neighbor of Reade’s — has told Insider for the first time, on the record, that Reade disclosed details about the alleged assault to her in the mid-1990s.

When you’re trying to decide whether an accusation is true, two factors matter. A police report, and corroborating witnesses. Tara Reade had both. But Democrats were not interested – there was an election to be “fortified”.

Biden’s SCOTUS pick is perfect for people like him.

I’ve been posting a lot about people in the public schools who expose children to danger, then attack parents who question what they are doing. I found a story about this for this post. I also have a new study that shows that respectfully disagreeing with children about transgenderism does not cause them to harm themselves. Then I want to talk about the root cause of these problems.

Let’s start with the UK Daily Mail:

A California mother says the government wrongfully took away her daughter, pushed the girl into transitioning to male, and is to blame for his suicide age 19.

Andrew Martinez, born Yaeli, stepped in front of a train on September 4, 2019.

[…][The] bereaved mother Abigail Martinez accused her Los Angeles County school of encouraging Yaeli to take hormones and undergo gender reassignment surgery as a child, while failing to properly treat her severe depression.

Martinez, 53, a mother of four, claimed school staff told Yaeli not to speak to her mother about transgender issues, but secretly had her join an LGBTQ group that persuaded the girl that the only way to be happy was to transition.

Read this:

The El Salvador-born mother said an older trans student ‘coached’ Yaeli on what to tell social workers to put her into foster care, so that the state would pay for her gender reassignment.

[…]Martinez said one trans friend and their parents ‘coached’ Yaeli, persuading her to run away from home in July 2016 and tell the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) that her mother had slapped her in the face.

As in most of these cases, the child was depressed by her same-age peers. Children tend to focus on appearances, not achievements, because they have no achievements. They attack people who are weird or look different. This doesn’t happen in the workplace. That’s why parents should not place their children in schools where the opinions of peers are seen as very important. Bullying causes some children who would do fine in a workplace to get depressed. And then the schools and hospitals suggest transitioning as a “cure” for the depression they caused, by not reining in the bullies.

Look:

…the mother claimed it was Yaeli’s depression that was the problem, not gender dysphoria.

[…]Instead of proper treatment for mental illness, Martinez said her daughter was encouraged by the school and her LGBT support group to take hormones and pursue gender reassignment surgery, and cut Martinez out of the process.

There’s no father in the photo in the article. Mothers who want to protect their children from the state and the schools need to prioritize commitment-ability in men, not appearance and fun. The men with uncomfortably strong theological and moral beliefs are exactly the ones who tend to stick around.

Mothers often don’t want to make moral judgments the way that fathers do:

I didn’t want to be the mean mom to say ‘no no no.’ I wanted to give her the help she needed at that time.

Mothers want to be liked. Fathers want to lead.

The secular left authorities told the mother not to talk to her child about God:

‘On the visit days, when she came to my house, I was told not to talk about God,’ Martinez said. ‘They told me if you do that, you’ll never see your daughter.

Her taxes pay their salaries. She can work for money to pay them with her God-beliefs, but they tell her what she can and can’t say to her children with their atheist-beliefs. Atheists think they know better than parents.

Everyone thinks that Obama was such a great president, but actually, he is the one who put in these policies that turn government and schools against parents:

A former civil rights director for the federal Department of Health and Human Services Roger Severino… told DailyMail.com that he believes district officials were afraid of losing funding and desperate to show their pro-trans credentials after being sued by the Obama administration in 2013 for discriminating against a trans boy, and inappropriately pushed gender reassignment on children as a result.

People like to say that disagreeing with transgenderism will cause children to self-harm, but research shows that is false.

What do the studies show?

Here’s a recent post about Sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) from the Christian Medical & Dental Associations by Andrè Van Mol, MD. SOCE refers to therapies that help people to change from same-sex orientation to opposite-sex orientation in sexual attraction, identity and/or behavior.

He writes:

To recap, using a strongly representative sample of a United States sexual minority population in data from the Generations study of the Williams Institute, Sullins used several validated measures to assess behavioral harm from having experienced sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE, now preferably called SAFE-T).

The findings “demonstrated positive evidence of the absence of harm from SOCE therapy.” Specifically, “Those who had undergone [failed] SOCE were no more likely to experience psychological distress or poor mental health, to engage in substance or alcohol abuse, to intentionally harm themselves, or to think about, plan, intend or attempt suicide, than were those who had not undergone SOCE.”

Unfortunately, any time conservative Christian men like me try to bring some rational argument and scientific evidence to bear on these problems, we get attacked by the feelings-oriented people in government and schools.

Our society has no place for male leadership

Men have a vision for children – to know God, to be independent, to be responsible, and to enter into respectful, productive relationships with worthy people of the opposite sex. We try to point children in a good direction, but many people see our leading as wrong, because children don’t get their way.

I was once interested in marriage to a “conservative” Christian woman. She was very concerned by my plans to raise children who would be financially independent and effective at serving God. She wanted them to do what they liked. I explained that people who do what they like are unstable, and unable to help people around them. The funny thing was that she was deeply in debt after doing a degree in BALLET, and unstable in her own life. She didn’t see my stability and wealth as anything to respect. Children need to rule fathers, she said. Feelings are more important than facts.

I really think we need to be more respectful of male leadership, so that children will not become victims of “compassion”.
