Indoctrinate U

Anne

Have you had a chance to see the Indoctrinate U series yet?  It is eye-opening.  It exposes the social and political agenda of many of  the colleges and universities.   Perhaps you would like to watch this before sending your children off.  You can watch it on youtube, order online, or watch it here.  Make yourself a cup of coffee, get your notebook,  and prepare to have your eyes opened up!  (Turn off the music ;)) ~Anne

He purchased it for $300.00 for the Library of Congress where it now resides. This was the first official presidential proclamation issued int the United States.

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to “recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”  Read more...
