| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
For the longest time, I have referred, and many times I have referred to our government schools, our so-called public schools, as seminaries for Satan.
Never has that been more true.
This is an event that was recorded just before the election.
And it's some mothers, and this is a mother and a daughter, talking about how the school had such...
A profound and immediate effect on her teenage daughter, who had been homeschooled prior to that, when she put this child in the government school, the public school, the seminary of Satan, depending on how you view this thing.
And it truly is amazing how they came after her.
You know, when you talk about social media and how it has that huge effect on you, just think about the effect that these My story is about my daughter who was socially transitioned at her public school.
Having been a homeschooling mother for over a decade, I was forced to put my children in public school due to having financial issues and having to go back to work full-time.
While homeschooling, my daughters were your typical preteen girls.
They were confident, secure, just your typical girly girls.
Within a year of them being in public school, I started slowly seeing the impact of what was really being done behind closed doors.
Both my daughters were riddled with anxiety, couldn't sleep, started self-harming and struggling with suicidal thoughts.
I particularly noticed my oldest daughter, Penny.
Doing different things like talking in a lower toned voice, dressing more masculine, wearing tight sports bras, wearing boys boxers, and cutting her long hair off.
I started noticing pronoun pins on her backpack, books I didn't buy show up in her room that were transgender focused, and her art taking a very dark turn with satanic and witchcraft symbols.
When I would inquire about these things, she would shut down and go quiet.
She became very disconnected from me, and she would often tell me that I just didn't understand her anymore.
This disconnect, I have now learned, is by design.
I found myself going from having a close relationship with my daughter to watching her slowly pretend to be a boy and get dangerously depressed and completely shut off from me.
After refusing to let her have transgender pride flags at my house or to affirm the transgender narrative, she chose to live full-time with her dad, who was affirming her.
I felt I had lost my daughter.
I prayed and was resolved to stand on the truth.
After some time, and what I believe was a miracle, She wanted to start coming back to my house and also ask to homeschool again.
Within months of her being out of the public school, her anxiety, self-harm, and depression started to slowly subside.
And by the grace of God, this past year, she gave her life to Jesus.
applause applause applause Thank you.
She's learning her true identity in Him and is learning to accept exactly who God created her to be, which is a beautiful young girl.
It continues to be a fight of rewiring her thinking where lies have crept in.
Many of the stories she's going to share with you, even here today, I have only even recently found out about as even preparing for this speech.
We are still on a journey of healing, and it is truly a detox from what's socially going on in the public school doctrine.
If there is one thing I could tell parents, it is to never affirm your child in the lie of transgenderism.
Tell your child the truth, because it is the most loving thing you can do when they are confused and believing lies.
Now you can hear from Penny.
Thank you, Karen.
Thank you.
My confusion about my gender and sexuality began my first day of middle school, sixth grade.
The first friend I had made told me she was bisexual and shared with me her sexual experiences with another girl in the school bathroom.
This information confused and shocked me as it was such adult contact Content being shared with me.
Later in another class, I was asked to fill out an About Me worksheet that asked my pronouns and a name I preferred.
Which, again, confused me because I had never heard such concepts until then.
By the seventh grade, I had chose Penn as my preferred name and began binding my chest to appear flatter.
My teachers would call me by this name in class, and upon my request, kept this a secret from my parents, calling me one name in the classroom and another name in front of them.
My teachers not only supported me in this, but they also encouraged it, going as far as recommending me gay pornographic books and taking the role as my affirming caretaker.
I had fully identified as gender fluid, going back and forth through pronouns depending on the day.
In that year, I also began cutting myself, leaning towards suicide as comfort, and would have seasons of depressive episodes.
In the ninth grade, I had fully developed an anxiety disorder.
Making sleep an almost non-existent thing.
And these tendencies were common among my friends since we were all suffering the same things and would apply to each other's coping mechanisms.
All of this happened during the vulnerable stages of my parents' divorce, which made me a very easy target when searching for somewhere to belong.
Entering 10th grade, I decided to switch to homeschooling due to my mental health declining significantly and me wanting to get better.
As I spent more time at home, away from the heavy influences of school, teachers, and friends, my mental health slowly but surely began to improve.
It wasn't until this year, though, my 11th grade year, I had met Jesus.
I began to get more involved in the church.
Due to the solitude of homeschooling, I had not only found healing in the community that I had found, but I had realized how deep and dark the pit I was in.
I'm still a work in progress, but I've never had such a better hope for the future than I do now.
For a young woman at this age...
Isn't that amazing?
And you know, they will tell you exactly the opposite.
There was a piece on the Drudge Report.
Belief in Satan and hell is linked to greater stress.
Now, only if you oppose those things.
If you embrace them, oh, then everything's great.
If you embrace New Age religion and the occult and everything, oh, you don't have any stress at all in your life.
Well, you know, that may be true.
It may be true.
We're in a war, right?
We're in a spiritual war.
But you look at the reality.
They're always telling you, we've got to use their pronouns or anything because otherwise they're going to be suicidal.
That was what was driving her, suicidal.
She began cutting herself.
She had severe depression, severe anxiety because of what they were pushing on her.
I'm telling you, it's...
It's not an exaggeration to say that they are seminaries of Satan.
And there isn't any rule or regulation that some president or governor or public school board or even a principal is going to do that's going to stop that if there is some teacher who is over your children who has that kind of agenda.
And how do you know?
How do you know who they are?
And why are we paying taxes for this?
Why have they sucked that money out of us to pay for these abhorrent systems?
The common man.
They created common core and dumbed down our children.
They created common paths to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
