Public School Programs Should Not Be Based on Race

Watch: #95-Black Math Genius Causes Controversy in Jefferson County WV Schools – VisionRoot

On June 2, 2021 the Jefferson County West Virginia Board of Education voted to approve the funding of the Black Math Genius summer program.  The four week program is to cost $63,280 plus or over $1100 per student enrolled.   The cost that parents can purchase the Black Math Genius program for online is $249, less than one fourth of the cost that taxpayers will pay per child.

There are several issue with bringing Black Math Genius to Jefferson County public schools.  First, recruitment for the program began before the School Board approved hiring for the program.  Teaching positions for the program were posted without School Board approval.  There was little input from the community, with only one virtual special School Board meeting for discussion of the program.

The founder of the Black Math Genius program, Assata Moore, has stated that black children are intentionally not taught math properly.  It is highly debatable that black children are intentionally singled out to receive an inferior education.  Here she says at 4:39 in the video that public schools are “systemically racist”.  It is true that in some school systems, such as the District of Columbia, black children often fare poorly.  But is this because of systemic racism?  If so, we must conclude that the mostly black teachers and mostly black administrators in the District of Columbia are systemically racist.  This is clearly a false premise. 

We see the Jefferson County School Board working to introduce a program that is not only very expensive, but where the program’s founder believes in systemic racism.  These ideas are the same as ­those of Critical Race Theory, and derive from a Marxist/Communist point of view, i.e. where formerly the workers were pitted against the capitalists, now one race is pitted against another.

Jefferson County Schools should stick to teaching subjects in a way that does not introduce Marxist ideology, i.e. Critical Race Theory.  This theory is false.  We are all created by God.  As the Declaration of Independence states, we are endowed by our Creator with Inalienable rights.

Are we to go back to segregation?  No, we must categorically reject that approach.

Let’s not forget that intact family structure and parental support, not race, is the most important factor in student success.  The Jefferson County Board of Education would be well advised to adopt policies that recognize this fact.  Those youth who graduate from high school, get a full time job and don’t have children before marriage and before age 21 are ten times less likely to live in poverty than those who don’t follow this guidance  Furthermore, children living with their mother and her boyfriend are six times more likely to be physically, emotionally, or educationally neglected than children living with their married biological parents, according to the Witherspoon Institute.

Let’s focus on what makes all children successful.  Let’s reject divisive and false Critical Race Theory related programs and teachings. As Jefferson County parent Chris Keiter shared on The Richard Urban Show “we need to get race out of everything right now.  … We are all Americans, we are all the human race.”

D-Day Was on January 13th, 2020

In my last blog, Seek First His Kingdom, I outlined the role of Rev. Sun Myung Moon in the evolution of our current world situation. Continuing in the same vein, I will explain how God is working right now to bring a decisive victory.
In Peace Message 10, The Family Rooted In Absolute Sexual Ethics, which Is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom, Rev. Moon states:

Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm.
The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74 percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us in which it should fulfill its duties by restoring the world through the Marriage Blessing on the national level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which began in humankind’s first family.

The religious sphere, particularly centered on the absolute sexual ethics of abstinence before marriage and fidelity within Blessed families, must take the Abel role. Politics must take the Cain position, following the lead of those who understand about true families and Blessed marriage. President Trump had the right idea, when after the Washington DC riots, on June 1st, 2020, he held up the Bible in front of the partially burned out St. John’s Episcopal Church parish house, across from Lafayette Square in Washington, DC.
Before his death on September 3rd, 2012, Rev. Moon declared that January 13th 2013 (by the Heavenly, lunar-based calendar) would be Foundation Day.
It is my opinion, that due primarily to the disunity of Mrs. Moon with her husband’s words and vision, especially after his death, this date was postponed until January 13th, 2020, seven years later.
What events happened on January 13th, 2020 that would bear out this supposition?

  • The first case of COVID-19 was reported in the United States
  • The delayed articles of Impeachment for President Donald J Trump were transmitted to the Senate by Nancy Pelosi
  • Citizens and mothers in particular were successful in New Jersey in beating back a blatant attempt to strip New Jersey residents of religious vaccination exemptions for school children.

Let’s consider this scripture from the Daily Inspiration of April 27th, 2021:

Revelation 11

9 For three and a half days the people of every nation, tribe, language, and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses and refuse to let them be buried. 10 Everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy. They will give gifts to each other, because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble. 11 But three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies. They will stand up, and everyone who sees them will be terrified.

How are we to understand these two prophets, who are so reviled, appear dead for three days, and then are revived? They are those who represent the Abel and Cain realms that Rev. Moon speaks about in the previous reading. Abel is the religious realm, so one prophet is Christianity, which has taken a seemingly fatal blow due to moral and family decay and additionally the suppression of Christians by the government during the COVID-19 situation.

The other prophet represents the Cain-type realm, or the political realm. This prophet is none other than the movement of those who support President Donald J. Trump. This does not mean only President Trump himself, but the movement he led that respects the role and value of Christianity in society.

Notice in the scripture from Revelation 11 that “everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy”. I think that this means the euphoria of the fake news media and false, godless technocracy over the fraudulent election where President Trump was seemingly defeated.

Earlier in the same passage in Revelation, the two witnesses are seen preaching for 1260 days, or almost three and a half years, so three and a half days means three and a half years. Additionally, 40 is a number of separation from Satan in the Bible, such as the 40 day flood judgement at the time of Noah. Therefore, I predict that around the time between 40 and 42 months after January 13th, 2020, there will be a resurrection of the proper role of Christianity and also of the political realm that has been represented by Donald J. Trump.

Last time I introduced how the new Kingdom Building movement of Christianity is exemplified by socially and politically engaged Christians of various faiths and denominations, such as the health freedom movement and the seven mountains of culture movement. This is the very movement that is emerging now and will emerge more and more over the next two years.

Furthermore, the Trump movement, whether exemplified by Trump himself or up and coming leaders like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is rising. Look for a substantial rising of both of these movements and a correction of the false Presidential election of 2020 by about July to September, 2023.

Seek First His Kingdom

I will give a perspective of how God is working, in spite of the seemingly negative events that have been happening throughout the world in the past one and one half years. 

Let’s start with a scripture reading from Rev. Sun Myung Moon from the Cheon Seong Gyeong, the collected works of Rev. Sun Myung Moon:

Established Christian churches are making a big fuss because I said that Jesus is my disciple, but they will see everything when they go to the spirit world. Why do I say such things, when I know clearly that doing so will cause me to be inundated with curses?
    How about the established Christian churches? Through Unification Church members, I will clean up anything that is unclean in their back rooms and hold worship services transcending all denominations. After this, I will go to the spirit world. I will go there after completing that trans-denominational worship. You may not know this, but there are already a large number of ministers using our Principle. Some of them read the Divine Principle on a blanket and when a deacon or elder comes in, they quickly hide it underneath the blanket, and then take it out again when they leave, and read it all night. They memorize it and diligently use it.
    Autumn leaves do not fall all at once. Do they fall all at once? They do not. They fall one by one, rather than as a whole bunch. Although they fall one by one, before long the tree, once clothed with green, is left with no leaves. Whether they know it or not, I am dealing with things in that way. (213-34, 1991.1.13)

Cheon Seong Gyeong (original) p. 291

Rev. Moon also stated in the Universal Peace Inaugural Speech in Washington, DC on September 23, 2005:

Christianity in general will become weaker and weaker unless they go with God’s Truth which is given in these Last Days.  This is New Truth.  They have to be reformed.  The New Age came.  All the religions have to be united now.  I am appealing to all of the religions and all of the religious leaders to work  together  to  complete  the  Bering  Strait  Project,  which  I  will  explain  later.    They probably have to, they maybe have to chip in together, from every religion, all the religious leaders, because this project will be for the sake of the well being of the entire humanity.

A lot of people, including many Christian ministers, did not pay attention to what Rev. Moon said.  Then, they are seemingly blindsided by the sudden assault on the freedom to worship during the COVID “crisis”.

Many churches have lost focus on what is truly important, which is seeking first God’s Kingdom and His righteous (Mt. 6: 33).  Instead, there is more of a selfish focus on church growth, prosperity, etc.  The Exposition of the Divine Principle, the teaching of the Rev. Moon, explains:

The Soviet Union, a nation on Satan’s side, participated in the Second World War on God’s side. How was it possible? When medieval society could not fulfill its providential purpose, it became a hindrance to both God’s side and Satan’s side, which then divided and began developing along paths leading to the maturation of the democratic world and the communist world. The Cain-type and Abel-type views of life worked in tandem to break down medieval feudal society and later, absolute monarchy and imperialism. Just as God’s providence progresses while riding on the currents of its time, Satan’s effort to build an unprincipled imitation of the ideal world is also bound to the currents of its time. When the prevailing social order obstructs the formation of new societies, including those furthering Satan’s goals, Satan joins in the fight to destroy it.

In a similar fashion, fascism had become an obstacle to both Satan’s side and God’s side. Because the providence of restoration through indemnity required that God temporarily permit Satan’s side to form the communist world, the Soviet Union in the Second World War was allowed to join forces with the nations on God’s side to destroy fascism, in order that it might quickly build up its communist state. Nevertheless, as soon as the Second World War was over, the communist world and the democratic world separated like oil and water. 

Exposition of the Divine Principle pp 373-374

Many churches closed during the COVID lockdowns.  Some never re-opened.  Others, however, had their faith strengthened.  So, a pruning of churches has occurred, where Satan’s work can be used in the larger providence.

Additionally there is a new wave of Christianity that I believe represents the real spirit of Jesus.  That is a kingdom building movement.  Examples of this type of movement include the Health and Freedom Summit organized by Clay Clark in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and available on clouthub.com.  Other Christian leaders like Alana Newman and Patrick Coffin have organized health freedom summits.  Others, such as Lance Walnau, promote a disposition of Christianity where we engage and influence the world actively in all of its aspects from a Christian perspective.  Others, such as myself (VisionRoot) also actively work to engage, educate and change the culture, with a Kingdom building mentality.

Although the fundamental issue of God-given freedoms addressed in the above mentioned conferences are key, there is another key element of being human.

According to Rev. Sun Myung Moon, that is the key element of absolute sexual ethics:

Yet, at this time there is an absolute requirement that people must fulfill, no matter who they are. This is the requirement of maintaining their purity, which is the model of absolute sexual morality for human beings. God gave it to His children as their destined responsibility and duty, to be carried out in order to fulfill the ideal of creation. This heavenly path is thus the way toward perfecting the model of absoluteness in conjugal love.

What was the single word, the one and only commandment God gave to Adam and Eve, the first ancestors, upon their creation? It was the commandment and blessing to maintain an absolute standard of sexual purity until God’s approval of their marriage. We find the basis for this in the Bible passage that indicates that Adam and Eve would surely die on the day they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. If they had refrained from eating and observed Heaven’s commandment, they would have perfected their character and, as co-creators, stood with God, the Creator, as His equals. Furthermore, they would have taken dominion over the creation and become the lords of the universe enjoying eternal and ideal happiness.

It was God’s blessing that He told them to preserve their purity so that they could wed as His true children through His Marriage Blessing, become true husband and wife, become true parents and give birth to true children. This knowledge deepens our understanding of this commandment. It is connected with the principle of absoluteness in conjugal love, which is a principle of God’s creation. The profound truth within God’s commandment has lain hidden throughout history: human beings must inherit and live by a model absolute sexual purity that is intrinsic to God’s ideal for creation. This is so that they might perfect their individuality as God’s children and establish themselves as lords of creation.

The Family Rooted in Absolute Sexual Ethics, which is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom: Rev. Sun Myung Moon

An example of God’s move in this providential area is the exposure of the dark area of sexual misconduct.  Both within the church and in society at large, sexual exploitation and misconduct is becoming more exposed.  To understand why this is key to the Kingdom Building movement, it is necessary to study Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s teachings on absolute sexual ethics.

A good place to start is to read The Family Rooted in Absolute Sexual Ethics, which is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom, and to study The Principle Two Hour Diagrammed Lecture Manual booklet.

Movie Review-Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer

By Richard Urban

Gosnell is a must see movie about Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a sociopathic Philadelphia doctor who performed thousands of abortions at a sub-standard clinic in inner city Philadelphia.  Gosnell stars Dean Cain as detective James Wood, Sarah Jane Morris as DA Alexis ‘Lexy’ McGuire and Earl Billings as Kermit Gosnell.

Because the local and statewide government considered a woman’s “right” to an abortion to be sacrosanct, the abominable conditions at the clinic were never revealed.  The clinic was not inspected for 17 years, in spite of numerous complaints. 

Finally, an investigation into illegal prescriptions written by Dr. Gosnell let to a raid on the clinic at which time police and detectives found unbelievable conditions, like babies and baby parts in trash bags and babies’ feet in jars.  Gosnell routinely delivered babies alive and then cut their necks with scissors to kill them.

The movie is riveting and very moving.  It is not an anti-abortion movie, although that is the ultimate effect.  It is telling the truth about what abortion really is and what goes on during abortions, both legal and illegal.

In Gosnell’s clinic, untrained 15 year olds gave pre-abortion women anesthesia!  Cats ran around the clinic.  There were turtles, which Gosnell fed during the raid on the clinic.

Yet, there are stories of hope and redemption, such as that seen in the last scene of the movie.

I also really liked the character named Molly Mullaney.  She is a blogger who is only interested in the truth and who perseveres in her quest to find the truth.  She is a stand in in real life for Calkins Media columnist J. D. Mullane.

This movie is a must see for everyone, whether for or against abortion.  Apparently, some don’t want people to see this movie, as only Fandango Now carries the movie on Roku.  Why not Vudu or others?  The movie is listed on Vudu, but you can’t rent or purchase it. 

For more ways to see the movie, released in October 2018, go to gosnellmovie.com.  I purchased the movie for $10.00 on Fandango Now, and suggest you do the same.

Also, see this revealing interview at The Daily Signal:  The True Story of Kermit Gosnell and His Victims (dailysignal.com).

Plan for Election Integrity

In light of the many irregularities and outright fraud, nationwide in the 2020 elections, it is essential that West Virginia moves to protect the integrity of elections in West Virginia.  Here are some key points:

•             Eliminate early voting.  All voting will be on Election Day.

•               Mail in voting should not be allowed at all, unless a citizen lives outside of the United States.  That is what the great majority of other countries do.  See this analysis of other countries:    For those living outside the county, a Photo ID must be submitted with the request for a ballot.

•               Eliminate using electronic voting machines.  Use paper ballots.

•             Do not use Clarity voting or any other third party reporting system.  All counting and reporting must remain in the state.

•             In case of a challenge of the election results, failure to follow rules will automatically invalidate any contested election and a new election must be called i.e. if observers are not allowed to view ballot processing, or if ballots are destroyed or voting machine audit records erased.  An additional approach is to make violations a felony, as Arizona is moving to do.

•               Use paper ballots to speed up voting and eliminate fraud.

•             Tabulate votes, when not done manually, using two machines from different manufacturers.  Results must match.  Results will be recorded by each county and records will be retained on local servers and backed up by physical records of ballot counts.  No third-party processing of election results is allowed.
