Show The Paper That Dares To Take Page 8 The Utah Independent December 18, 1975 TIME FOR NEVADA TO Speaks Out GET OUT E. P. THORNTON The most horrifying example of how a bureaucratic dictatorship can ruin a good institution is the state of our public education system, now that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has reached out its long tentacles and coiled them around every level on which young people of today might hope to learn to read, write, use arithmetic, and enter into postschool life equipped to cope with the task of making a living. Bad enough is the fact that these despotic forces should have ruined our schools. Worse is the alarming turn of events proving that if they get away with it they are going to KIDNAP your child and force him to attend their disastrous, warped institutions of propaganda and brainwashing. Whatever state you live in as you read this, get on your fighting clothes. I do not write with no better purpose than to express a mild (and if mild perhaps boring) political opinion, or to see my name in print. I write to inform where the controlled media covers up. I write to alarm if necessary to get citizen action to save our nation. If I do not activate a few, or always hopefully a lot of people when a danger threatens. I have wasted my time and that of publishers and readers. Here and now I warn you of a mortal danger. Bureaucrats are moving closer and closer to snatching your child from your arms, in infancy, and rearing that child in the ugly philosophies of the socialist conspiracy. These brutish dictators want teach a generation that God is to dead, that prayer is wrong, that marriage is obsolete, that sex in any and every form, at any and every1 age, Should be a liscentious substitute for the virtue of self control. They do NOT want to teach reading, writing and arithmetic, because those are the solid blocks upon which an enlightened mind can be built. And they do not want minds they want enlightened robot minds that can be herded into thinking America stinks", that a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT can be moulded in a peaceful framework, and that America should deny its nationality, give up its means of self protection, throw its wealth at the feet of those who revile us, and who, instead of showing a wish to merge with us, shout through their YANKEE GO bared fangs HOME! These slimy bureaucrats have All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation. President John Adams The only honest dollar is a dollar of stable, The only purchasing power. honest dollar is a dollar which repays the creditor the value he lent and no more, and required the debtor to pay the value borrowed and no more. Sen. Robert L. Owens (Okla) 1913 debt-payin- g, surfaced in Ohio (perhaps other states) but in Ohio we can SEE THEM NOW, and do something about the kidnapping going on. I received from EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ANALYSTS, Box 7175, Longview, Texas 7560 1 , an almost frantic call for action my part being to give the matter such publicity as I can, and hopefully YOUR PART will be to get to work! Three parents whose five children are enrolled in the Winchester Christian Academy, 470 Pike, Canal WinGroveport chester, Ohio 43110, risk having their children wrenched from the homes because they are enrolled in a private Christian school. Bureaucrats are taking legal steps to pry these families apart, claiming the Christian schools do not meet some bureaucratic standard of accreditation. It doesn't matter if the child enrolled in a small Christian school is getting a better, cleaner education, in an environment that does not depend for safety upon having policemen and the corridors patrolling What matters to the grounds. bureaucrats is that they issue ORDERS (not laws) and parents with backbone defy them. In Ohio, heretofore, such cases have been tried under criminal law. Now the would-b- e state is using Civil Law. The big difference is that the latter would remove the child from the home during perhaps years of litigation. Since no parent wants to lose children to state kidnappers, this vicious move might result in the closing of all Christian schools. If you will accept this column as speaking truth, write and protest this outrage to Governor James A. Rhodes, State House Building. Columbus. Ohio 432 5. and send a copy to the GOVERNOR OF YOUR OWN STATE. Or, for fuller information, write me or better still write Christian Schools of Ohio. 15401 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44107. Remember this cancer is in our nation's blood stream, and it will surface not just in Ohio but in 49 other states. You are fighting for the freedom to bring up your own children wherever you live. I hope and pray that this column appearing throughout the country will spark 100.000 people to ACT. When every material thing is stripped from a society, the quality of the people remaining will determine what new culture rises from the ashes. all-power- ful 1 I believe that Copyright Jo Hindman 1975 Recently the State of Nevada owner.

American Enterprise Publications CLICHES OF SOCIALISM Continued from page 3 personal freedom of choice, and private property, is the free market method of voluntary exchange whereby individuals help themselves through serving pthers. Possessing economic freedom, each person may practice compassion and charity with what is his own. This leaves to government (organized force) the very limited task of defending life and property and preserving the peace. Once this basis for limiting government is accepted, it is possible for a person to test any present activity of government at whatever level by a precise standard which tells him whether that activity is a proper function of organized police force. It is a matter of reasoning logically and deductively from our Declaration's premise that man's right to life and liberty is derived not from the State but from his Creator. Leonard E.
