It seems children have always been attracted to substances that are not good for them. Why? One reason is they see their parents and other adults taking or using them. An obvious example of that is smoking cigarettes. It’s a kind of reflexive “monkey see, monkey do.”
I remember a story of a little two-year-old boy who had watched his mother take a prescription pill every morning and evening. She kept it on an upper shelf in the bathroom medicine cabinet. One morning, when that little boy’s mother was in the kitchen and his father was in the shower, he climbed up on the toilet, stretched his way over to the washbasin, ducked down to be able to open the door to the medicine cabinet above the basin, grabbed the pill bottle, and downed every single one. There were no child-resistant caps at that time. When his dad came out of the shower, he saw what must have happened. Mom, Dad, and the inquisitive little boy rushed to the hospital where his stomach was pumped out, saving his life.
That action on the part of a two-year-old is illustrative of how attractive and tempting danger can be to your kids. Temptation can be unintended, as in that case. Many times, however, the inducement is intended and overt, but it conceals the danger that lurks. You’ve probably seen the warnings filling the television that “Rainbow Fentanyl” is designed to make kids think this poison is candy. It has even been packaged in common candy wrappers and boxes. Parents are wondering if they should let their kids go out on Halloween because of this hidden danger. Fentanyl is so dangerous it can be absorbed through the skin and kill you simply by handling the substance!
I understand why mothers and fathers are worried about fentanyl. It is dangerous. The problem I see is that there are many who are oblivious to or not sufficiently concerned about the poison that is being doled out to our kids in school. No, not fentanyl. The poison I am referring to is the teaching of immorality, encouraging them, teaching them to be sexual deviants. Taking the authority away from parents regarding transgender medication and surgery. Starting instructions about homosexuality and transgenderism in kindergarten, sometimes even earlier. Our kids’ minds are also being poisoned by the teaching of CRT. Please go back and read my post of March 11, 2022.
This sort of instruction is a greater poison to both their life on earth and their eternal life than the horrors of fentanyl. I encourage parents to take it just that seriously, and warn your children about it. Do your best to stop it. Just as you would dash to grab a fentanyl pill from a reaching hand, use every effort to protect your kids from life’s greater poisons.
