Hollywood Is Getting Schooled in Wokeness
Children at Hollywood’s Harvard-Westlake high school are being indoctrinated in “left-wing nonsense” that has been described as “wokeness gone mad,” according to an April 18 Daily Mail exposé. The students at the $43,000-a-year school are the children of Hollywood’s elite. But the new report shows that even the leftist parents of Hollywood are frustrated by the radicalism of the school’s curriculum.
“There is a growing group of parents who are desperately unhappy with how things are going,” one mother said on the condition of anonymity. “But we talk in secret.”
Harvard-Westlake’s new Diversity, Equality and Inclusion program mandates that teachers attend a training course taught by Bettina Love, a critical race theorist who believes “[r]acism runs deep in America and blacks alone know who America really is.” She also believes that schools intrinsically perpetuate anti-blackness and are guilty of the “spirit murder” of black students. Instead of learning about the Treaty of Versailles and the Columbian Epoch, students are learning about the women’s liberation movement and the Black Lives Matter movement. Several schools have banned “white” literary texts, such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Little Women, replacing them with texts such as Stamped and Racism, Anti-Racism and You.
Hollywood parents, unwilling to commit career suicide, are afraid to question it. Many outside Hollywood are similarly timid. Many who are confused and worried about what is going on in this country scoff at the mere mention of the Bible, yet it specifically prophesies what is occurring in our nation today. The Prophet Isaiah warned, “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment” (Isaiah 59:14-15). Many are concerned that truth has fallen in the streets, but few are willing to help it up.
Internet Censorship Comes to Canada
Canadian Heritage Minister Stephen Guilbeault tabled Bill C-10 in November 2020, a proposed law that supporters say would protect Canadians from “online harms” but that many leading and ordinary Canadian citizens fear is a massive violation of their liberties.
The law would mandate that content deemed as dangerous or harmful be taken down within 24 hours. Failure to comply on the part of the media platform or the individual could result in a fine of up to $15 million.
Law professor Michael Geist labeled the current Liberal government as “the most anti-Internet government in Canadian history” and “one of the most comprehensive peacetime attempts to redefine free expression in Canada.”
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord” (Amos 8:11). This describes a time when God’s warning message will no longer be available. Why? There will come a point where “the land is not able to bear all his words” and God’s people will be expelled (Amos 7:10). The Trumpet warning message you are reading now will not last forever.
Retired Generals Warn of the End of America
More than 120 retired American generals and admirals published an open letter to the Biden administration on May 10. It warned: “Our nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a constitutional republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of socialism and Marxism versus supporters of constitutional freedom and liberty.” It also warned that Democrats in Congress and in the Biden administration are turning America “toward socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government which must be countered now by electing congressional and presidential candidates who will always act to defend our constitutional republic. The survival of our nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty and historic values are at stake.”
In “What Will Happen After Trump Regains Power,” editor in chief Gerald Flurry explained that President Donald Trump was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election and that the Bible prophesies he will return to power, but “the indication is that regaining office may take considerable work. Donald Trump will have to fight for it. It doesn’t have to be military action, but it certainly could.” So many top retired military leaders sounding the alarm could be an early indicator that the fight between Marxism and supporters of constitutional freedom is about to intensify.
