This year’s “Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action” is just around the corner, scheduled for February 6-10. School districts across the country are participating in the event, promoted by BLM at School, a national group which provides lesson plans and resources for educators.

Parents will want to check and see if their school is participating in the event, as BLM at School works to indoctrinate students from K-12 into a radical political and sexual ideology.

BLM at School operates under “13 Guiding Principles.” Some of these sound good, such as teaching children about empathy and encouraging loving engagement with others. It’s important for children to know their lives matter and they are made to reflect God’s image. They should learn to love and respect all people.

Christians should be concerned about these issues and engage them, and it’s important for families to have meaningful discussions about our nation’s history of racism and hatred. And it’s vital for the church to bring healing to this brokenness in our world. But BLM at School has many principles and goals that are deeply troubling. The goal is to transform children into radical activists who “are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.” Students are asked to support and affirm various sexual identities, gender identities and gender expressions.

Jacob Kersey, a 19-year-old police officer in Port Wentworth, Georgia was put on administrative leave on January 4 and investigated by his supervisors for posting the following comment on his Facebook page: “God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That’s why there is no such thing as homosexual marriage.”

The three statements contained in the post are Christianity 101 truths, based on the clear teachings of the Bible about marriage (Genesis 2:24), God’s creation of mankind as “male and female” (Genesis 1:27), and the connection between Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:31-32).

But the post ultimately cost Officer Kersey his job. How did it happen?

Kersey’s supervisors at the police department received an anonymous “tip” about his January 2 post and confronted him about it.

How did he react to being questioned about the post by those in command?

In an email to the Daily Citizen, Kersey explained, “I was in complete disbelief but I immediately knew that I had to stand for the Word of God. I believe that was the Holy Spirit enabling me to make a Christ-glorying, God-honoring decision in the moment even if I did not understand what it would mean for my career.”
