Phil, Stay tough! You are the light in that school (Matt 5:13-14). If the kids are as bright as you say, ask them questions to get them thinking. Questions like "Why do you think that is true?" "Do you think there is a right and a wrong that applies to everyone? If not, what gives you, or anyone, the moral authority to say what Hitler did was wrong?" Also, "I know your smart enought not to just believe whatever you hear; have you started reading anything about that topic?" Or if you want to use mathematics, you can ask "Why are the laws of mathematics the way they are? Clearly there is order and complexity to them; how did that happen?" There are endless possibilities. How about this classroom exercise: Take a bag of wrapped candy and tell the students that there are enough pieces for everyone but here is how they will be distributed: 1. Everone must close their eyes during the game. 2. The bag will be passed from student to student each taking however many pieces they want. The only rules are 1. There must be some left over at the end, 2. Everyone must get at least one piece, 3. Everyone must keep their eyes closed (the teacher takes the bag from student to student) . Inevitably, the bag is empty before it reaches the last student. You can discuss some basic "math" questions like "Why didn't everyone get one if there was enough for everyone?" It teaches basic human nature and the flaws in socialism. The game is even better if you have a student bring in the bag and then make them the last person to get the bag (be sure to bring in something extra for them, though)! These questions will get them to think for themselves and inspire a search for the Truth. There are some great references that can help them find truthful answers (see this part of Orrin's blog for some great recommendations: http://orrinwoodward.blogharbor.com/blog/Philosophy/_archives/2007/12/19/3419153.html#comments). Get some copies of recommended references and have them available to share, if they are interested. Lastly, Phil, I don't know how big your school is, but it's likely you're not the only faculty member who feels the same way. Seek out another teacher who can share in this with you and swap stories (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). You'll need that encouragement and support, as Truth often draws criticism. Godspeed, Larry
