Movie night!: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (full movie)
Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is a movie about the freedom of speech suppression to which Intelligent Design proponents are being subjected to by the atheistic American academic dictatorship.
“With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, if so urged by hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. The surgeon may harden himself whilst performing an operation, for he knows that he is acting for the good of his patient; but if we were intentionally to neglect the weak and helpless, it could only be for a contingent benefit, with a certain and great present evil. Hence we must bear without complaining the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind; but there appears to be at least one check in steady action, namely the weaker and inferior members of society not marrying so freely as the sound; and this check might be indefinitely increased, though this is more to be hoped for than expected, by the weak in body or mind refraining from marriage.”
― Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871)

The elites move against home schooling and parental freedom
The following link is an interview with Elizabeth Bartholet the Harvard professor who is continually trying to ban homeschooling in America.
She says she isn't but you wouldn't know it based on all the objections she has against homeschooling.
Home schooling potential for abuse interview
She tried to bring about a conference with many other like-minded "educators" and legislators in the month of April but thank God that conference was cancelled due to the stay-at-home orders after the Covid crises.
But she's still out there and the itch to attack a parent's rights of home schooling will no doubt continue. Her objections are not only honest but they're not masked of overt bias.
One of her main complaints against homeschooling is that there could be a threat of isolation that children could have to endure at home.
But what kind of isolation is she referring to? The isolation of a public school- like education. As laughable as that might seem, she's actually serious.
You'd wonder ... Is she not aware of how poor we're educating public school children and how dangerous it's become for children in government schools?
The rates of failure in reading proficiency and mathematics... Children are graduating in huge numbers with an average 5th grade reading level every year. And then the bullying and the lack of control teachers have over the children; the countless cases of physical and sexual abuse, etc. -- especially in the inner-cities.
Every parent would want to isolate their children from those problems!
She lists many other issues against home schooling but another one of the big objections is her problem with parents passing on their world views to their children. Imagine that!?
Talk about a leftist-progressive bias! For decades, we've known that the government schools have been allowing special interest groups to slip in and provide material that teaches secularism, bad science and political correctness, etc. But since the numbers of parents removing their children from government schools has risen, this trend has the "power elites" recognizing this vulnerability to their Antichrist agenda.
Every single one of those arguments against home schooling is not only weak and defeated, but extremely crystal clearly biased, unconstitutional, and anti-freedom.
Of coarse, the left has never allowed the US Constitution to get in their way especially when they can just redefine and revise it.
And that's where our nation is going every day faster and faster...
The rebellion against God and The King He has set to rule over the nations will soon be squashed but until then, we'll see this Antichrist landslide falling more and more, and faster and faster.
Let us continue to hold fast to the faith.
I have also provided this 2nd link of Bartholet debating her views with the CATO Institute, a libertarian think tank.
