Now is the Time to Apply for Vaccine Exemption

Texans for Vaccine Choice is reminding everyone who is sending their children to government school or daycare that NOW is the time to get the application form for vaccine exemption and begin the process.

It is your Constitutionally guaranteed right. Each state should make the application form available. Texas has it on a website, which is increasingly hard to find. Your school OUGHT to have forms available also, but probably only the private school will do this. Print it, fill it out, and send it in Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.

If your post office is failing to deliver your RR mail, try another post office. Often small towns are best. Other carriers will work but cost more money.

Legally, a religious exemption should not need a doctor’s signature. There are several law firms in the country that provide help for religious and Constitutional challenges. Alternatively, both Texas Home School Coalition and Home School Legal Defense Fund offer legal help to homeschooling members.

Good luck and blessings.

Think Better by Looking for and Evaluating Evidence

Think better by looking for and evaluating evidence.

A lot of people don’t even give you evidence, but just emotional slogans. Watch out for this! You are being deceived, tricked, and led around by the nose. Slow it down, and remember to look for evidence.

Other people refuse to consider what I have to say, because it contravenes “what they know” but they fail to hear out the evidence. Remember to slow down and hear the evidence.

In other cases, people do give you evidence, but it is faulty or fragmentary. Remember to evaluate the evidence. Is it strong?

Hear more about how you — and your children– can think better by demanding and evaluating evidence.

Independence Day, Juneteenth, Character and the New England Primer

I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating Independence. July the 4th is the day that we celebrate liberty (freedom under the rule of law) in the United States. It is evident that we must all work toward this goal these days. Part of that is teaching civics.
In the early American colonies and during the founding of the United States, until very late in the 1800s, we used The New England Primer to teach reading, based in Biblical principles. This became the value set that was passed down and continued to buttress our way of governing ourselves. Founders said that only a virtuous Christian people could be governed in liberty. We have forgotten much of this, and been taught contrary ideas.

Today, I discuss first the little product I have of 6 audio episodes discussing the civics of the New England Primer. Then, discussing why it is important to teach civics and actual history, I tell an amusing incident that recently happened to me, regarding Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a holiday IN TEXAS that remembers the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Texas, the state in the confederacy the farthest away from Washington DC and President Lincoln. Of course, we are for liberty and against enslavement. Aren’t we?

So, let’s do a quick review of history, and consider the teaching of Civics. And btw, I have a 75% off sale on the New England Primer set of episodes (teaching civics, not reading). Go to STORE on the tab above.
