CNSNews.com by Elizabeth Harrington:  First Lady Michelle Obama said yesterday that the government can affect who kids "will be forever" if it can shape their "habits and preferences" during the large part of the day they are at school.  Mrs. Obama was speaking on the south lawn of the White House at a reception to honor schools that met the goals of the US Department of Agriculture's Healthier US School Challenge (HUSSC).  The USDA website describes HUSSC as a voluntary initiative established in 2004 to recognize those schools participating in the National School Lunch program that have created healthier school environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity.  The program has since been rolled into Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move!" initiative.  

Commentary:  After reading this article, I decided I had better use this opportunity to remind us all about how one atheistic "militant-type" mother, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, was successful in getting God and prayer kicked out of our public schools.  If Christians had taken just as great a stand against her across the nation, most of America's children wouldn't be in the condition they're in today: drug addictions, rampant teen pregnancies, rebellious, unruly, temperamental, disobedient and running wild.  I'm not speaking about every American kid, but most are in one category or another here.  Compare today's children with the children of the 60s: obedient, respectful, considerate, polite versus disobedient, disrespectful, inconsiderate, mean and bullying.  What has happened to the children?  Madalyn Murray O'Hair and the public school system for a couple of things.  Madalyn Murray O'Hair was a vile woman, finding it difficult not to cuss like a drunken sailor in public whenever she was opposed by someone.  By the way, did you know that Madalyn Murray O'Hair and two of her children died very gruesome deaths; they were dismembered and murdered horrifically.  Do you find it coincidence that her third child, one who parted from the family to become a Christian, didn't suffer such a death with the other three?  Well then, I suppose nothing could convince you; not God, not His Holy Word, not His ministers.  I will leave you with one last thought.  Public schools still teach evolution, even though prominent British scientists, have proven that evolution is a mathematical impossibility, even if you want to believe we evolved from monkeys.  British mathematician, Fred Hoyle, wrote that 2,000 different and very complex enzymes are required for a living organism to exist.  Then, he added, that not a single one of these could be formed at random, shuffling processes in even 20 billion years.  Mathematically, our existence here on earth is comparable to winning a million dollar lottery a million times in a row, or akin to placing a monkey at a keyboard to have him type for 5 billion years (assuming he never dies).  What do you think the chances are that the monkey will type out the entire collection of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, volumes A - Z, in their exact order with no spelling errors?  The chances of that happening are better than evolution ever happening.  Yet these Godless, infidels want to mold our children?  These Godless people who are teaching antiquated theories about how we came into existence shouldn't be in charge of our children's minds for a day!  A number of acclaimed astrophysicists have come to realize, after studying the cosmos and coming to new revelations about the universe, that intelligent design is the only answer to our existence.  If you are interested in what I am saying and you want to know the truth and take the responsibility back of teaching your children the truth, I would like to invite you to visit the Home Education page of this site.  The Bible says, "Fear the Lord your God, keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command you, you and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life, that your days might be prolonged...and teach them diligently to your children and talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up" Deuteronomy 6:2, 7.
