I recently read in the Peshtigo Times (07/24/2024 Issue) of the Crivitz School Board having a “long hard discussion” on a certain policy change.  The article stated they were faced with “some extremely difficult decisions” regarding this policy. 

The policy change was to allow individuals to use the bathroom of their choice based upon their “self-identification”.  Meaning, if you are a boy or girl at birth, but later feel you were the opposite gender, you could use the bathroom of your choice. 

Unfortunately, not one board member had the boldness to stand against this despicable policy.  Of the five board members in attendance, four voted in favor and one abstained.  Not one had the boldness or wherewithal to say this is an immoral policy which endangers our children and decided to stand on truth. 

As the article continued, you see how our government is corrupt and leading us into immorality.  Sure, it’s the local school boards decision, yet, if they reject this policy change, they will not receive Title IX Federal funding which goes towards special education.  Basically, the government is forcing the schools to make this change allowing boys to use girl’s bathrooms and vice versa. 

The Bible states in I Timothy 6:10 that “the love of money is the root of all evil” and here we see the school board putting money ahead of the morality of our children.  Yes, we may have to go without some programs and services or use local tax increases for programs instead of a new building, but at least we can say we stood by a godly principle. 

As it appears they wanted to appease their conscience after making a wrong decision, they commented there has not been an issue up to this point.  As this is a place of education, you would hope they would have done some research, rather than saying since there hasn’t been an issue yet, maybe there won’t be in the future.  A simple search will show all the incidents of sexual abuse that have taken place due to individuals using bathrooms of the opposite sex.  Instead, they chose to risk a young boy or girl being abused and scarred for life than to stand up for what is right. 

In summary, it sounds as if the Crivitz school board, rather than fight for a moral principle, choose money over morals.  Proverbs 22:1, states “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches…”  It appears the school board chose riches over a good name. 

Our official statement, to all the local parents, make the sacrifice and take charge of your children’s education.  Don’t allow strangers who possibly do not hold to biblical principles or standards to influence your children.  It’s time we stand up against this onslaught of immorality which is trying to "train up" our children in the way of hell.
