This spring voters in Texas will go to the polls to nominate candidates to represent political parties in the general election in November. Many citizens fail to understand the significance of these primary elections. It is not uncommon to hear complaints by people who do not like the choices they have in the general election. Usually, these same people did not participate in the primaries to help choose parties’ nominees. It is the dedicated and committed few voting in a primary who set the choices for the majority in the November elections.

January 12, 2012 By
It is January of 2012, an election year. Voters in Texas will choose men and women to represent them in Congress, the US Senate, and the Texas legislature, and we will live with the consequences, good or ill, for the next two or more years. It is critical to our freedom in Texas and in the United States of America that people educate themselves on the candidates running for office and vote for those who represent their beliefs and values.

Home Schooling Changing the Culture
December 13, 2011 By
The modern home school movement began in the 1980s as evangelical Christians began to react to the culture and the public schools, which promoted the culture through politically correct curriculum and teachers and students who reinforced what many of these parents saw as direct attacks on the biblical and traditional values they were trying to instill in their children. Many of us were simply trying to protect our children and trying to follow what we believe is our biblical responsibility to raise our children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
Be Prepared for CPS
December 8, 2011 By
Last week I had a good meeting with the interim commissioner of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and the head of Children’s Protective Services (CPS). It was my first time to meet these individuals since they had assumed their positions. What prompted this meeting was a problem that a THSC member had with CPS. This member had been investigated twice in the previous six months regarding anonymous allegations of abuse.
Lessons from a Day of Infamy
December 7, 2011 By
President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it a day that would live in infamy. December 7, 1941, was the day that would, as some survivors recall, change America forever. In the midst of negotiations with Japan to avoid the United States’ entry into World War II, Japan attacked an unsuspecting navy lying at rest in Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor.
Our Children Are Too Precious And Our Freedom Too Dear
December 7, 2011 By
Sometimes home schoolers tell me that they are too busy to be involved in politics or that they think THSC is too political. It is a sign of the times that home school families in Texas have so much freedom that they can ignore the process by which we choose our government.
Fair and Impartial Includes Character
December 6, 2011 By
In October a video was posted online by a young woman who had evidently been abused by her father for years. What made the video “go viral” was the fact that it was seven or eight minutes of verbal profanity and physical beating with a belt by a sitting Texas judge. While the judge has been suspended, with pay, by the Texas Supreme Court, he will not be prosecuted, since the statute of limitations has passed. Even though calls for his resignation have been many and passionate, he does not seem inclined to do so.
Blizzard Hits Jobs Bill
November 3, 2011 By
As President Obama continues to barnstorm the country to sell his “jobs” bill that would cost the taxpayers another $447 billion, his and his party’s poll numbers fail to improve significantly. The bill cannot even pass the Democrat-dominated US Senate.
Mainstream Media – Attack Conservatives, Give Liberals a Pass
November 2, 2011 By
If there were ever any doubt about the anti-conservative bias of themainstream media, it is now on full display. The most high-profileexample of late is the full-throated assault against Herman Cain regarding 12-year-old allegations,by two female employees, of past sexual harassment. This is soreminiscent of the attack against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomasduring his nomination process in the early 1990s. The details willobviously come out in the near future, but it’s interesting to contrasthow long it took the mainstream media to cover the scandal involvingliberal John Edwards and his presidential campaign. In fact, a tabloidbroke the story because the mainstream media didn’t seem interested.
Parental Rights and CPS
November 1, 2011 By
In the ongoing battle for restoration of the fundamental constitutional right of fit parents to direct the care, control, and upbringing of their children, we often challenge Child Protective Service (CPS) workers who investigate allegations of abuse and/or neglect. While state law requires that every legitimate allegation be investigated, often these caseworkers go beyond their legal authority.
