Hog Pen High

By Patricia Backora

Contrary to popular belief, “gentle Jesus” does NOT love malicious, violent bullies
just as much as He loves born-again believers who are persecuted by them.
Christ considers stubbornly unrepentant sinners the equivalent of hogs, snakes
and dogs, for they are unclean in His sight (Matt.7:6;23:33). Bullies are
CRIMINALS who commit hate crimes against people created in God’s own image.
What sane parent would allow his/her son or daughter to be educated in a filthy
pigpen for twelve whole years, then expect that precious son or daughter to come
home spotlessly clean, happy and well-adjusted emotionally and spiritually
whole? If you force your child to “mix with” skunks for several years don’t expect
that child to smell like a rose garden.

Does God command Christians to send their children to secular schools where
perverted sex is taught to small children, and children of unbelievers teach their
children dirty jokes and apply peer pressure to conform?

2 Cor.6:17: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.

Too bad more Christian parents can’t afford to send their children to a decent
Christian school where Christ is exalted. Or, home school their own children. I
pray God brings solutions to the problem of providing cruelty-free education for
every child.

Precious Christian children raised in evil secular schools devoid of godly discipline
soon sink into the cesspool of despair, especially when they become the target of
human hogs who oppress and persecute them for being godly. I know from
experience that bullies even persecute other kids who aren’t necessarily trying to
live for Jesus, but are so well-behaved the bullies harbor contempt for them and
pick on them. A few students just want to be allowed to quietly go about the
business of learning without hassles from dumb asses who go to school just to
make trouble. Satan not only hates true godliness, he even hates a poor imitation
of it! He instills hatred and contempt in school bullies toward “squares” and
“nerds” who don’t always have a clever comeback for wisecracks.

God knows how many have precious toddlers pray to accept Jesus into their
hearts, only to later harden in heart and lose interest in the things of God once
they get exposed to all the cruelty and corruption of the schoolyard. Before long
the small child grows up to be “just like everybody else”, out of fear of being
beaten up or becoming a social leper.

What happened to transform an innocent happy Christian child into a sulking,

depressed teenage backslider? Rabid dogs bit them with deadly spiritual poison
under their lips (Romans 3:13). The throat of the wicked is an open tomb filled
with the rotting stench of hell and death. Teachers who act as substitute parents
during educational hours are mostly too timid to get tough with troublemaking,
violent teens because they’re afraid of being hurt or sued by those thugs. So
they look the other way and pretend not to notice one or two children in their
classroom are being devoured by dogs who nip at them when they think no
authority figure is watching. And when it IS brought to their attention, the poor
victim is often the one blamed for being a victim. The victim is re-victimized by
the teacher for acting “different” (unwilling to participate in the ugly, back-
stabbing, power-crazed shark pool school social scene). Such a culture is at war
with God’s Holy Spirit Who lives in the hearts of Christian students.

It is often the BULLY who rules over high schools, not concerned, conscientious
teachers, the principal or anybody else. The out-of-control child is supreme ruler
of his/her own home, in the way they physically abuse and scare weepy, helpless
parents who have tried every trick in the book to straighten out their kids. Only
it wasn’t GOD’S book they tried, just the perverse child rearing techniques of
satan. The Naughty Chair doesn’t always work. Sometimes kids are so controlled
by wicked spirits that only the power of God can set them free. Sometimes the
parents are to blame. Perverted parents are very happy to see their aggressive
punkster kids happy-slapping everybody else who’s smaller or weaker than they
are. These pathetic parents actually think an intimidating bully at school will end
up conquering in the world of work and THEIR kids will be successful and rich
when they’re grown. But they and their kids will lose out in the end and end up
in the festering garbage dump of hell, rejected by a righteous God.

Confident that teachers and parents have no control over his/her life, the teenage
terror decides his/her school will be an outpost of hell on earth and they will call
the shots. It’s the most vicious school bullies who decide who will be the Top
Dogs in his/her clique and who will be rejected as an outcast and sacrificed in this
war of nerves between school staff and trouble-making students. Children who
get targeted by aggressive school bullies either learn to kiss up to the bully and
try to appease him or collapse, unless they are unusually spiritually strong.

I’ll tell you what happened to the typical teenager who no longer loves and serves
the Lord Jesus Christ. Either they were scared away from Christ through intense
emotional persecution or seduced away from Christ by satan’s human snakes who
promised them glory and popularity in exchange for following the crowd to hell.
Some punkster might have called them unspeakably ugly names and blasphemed
God in front of them. Foul jokes and other dirty intimidation assaults the ears of
Christian school students in the locker room. Day after day after endless day it
gets pounded into the ears of Christian children that satan rules the world outside
their home and it’s useless to take a stand against the evil values of his kingdom
of darkness.

At first, many helpless Christian kids do try hard to resist the daily abuse and
indoctrination of the devil. When they complain to mom and dad, even their
Christian parents tell them to “toughen up” because the REAL WORLD is even
more cruel. But in God’s sight, the godless secular school IS part of this evil
world system. Christ is daily lampooned as an old myth while “alternative
religions and alternative family life styles” are rammed down the throats of
innocent Christian children. Home schooling is against the law in many parts of
the world. As satan picks off your children’s souls the nominal church nods its
head and retreats within its cloistered walls, hiding its head in the sand like an
ostrich. The devil wins by default as church leaders preach their lame “God loves
everybody the same” message to people who feel like their hands are tied in a
world they can do nothing to change.

Sometimes Christian children have even been unjustly penalized by teachers and
principals for bringing Gospel tracts and Bibles to school. The one thing which
could strengthen and encourage a persecuted, bullied child is taken away from
them in time of need by secular humanist educational officials. Godly principals
and educators are forbidden BY LAW to teach about Jesus Christ and His love
and His ability to transform broken ruined lives. Even if some teacher wanted to
help a bullied student cope by encouraging him/her to turn to the Lord Jesus for
supernatural strength, that teacher is effectively gagged. His/her job is at stake.
God-fearing teachers and principals know they’d be fired by the school district if
even once they warned unruly kids about the wrath of Almighty God, or the
terrible hell fire which awaits them for their wickedness. Any mention of a
personal god must be generic in nature, appealing to ALL religions on earth. The
secular humanist god tolerates the evil rot which infests secular schools. Even
some “religious” schools are steeped in error and permissiveness. Kids who claim
to be churchgoers and lovers of Jesus might be just putting on a front. Until no
adult is looking, and then they join in the bullying themselves.

It would cost the state some precious MONEY, but kids at high risk of being
badly bullied should be picked up by a special school van AT THEIR DOOR and
taken home from school the same way. If this isn’t possible, at the very least
BUG all school buses with hidden microphones and CCTV cameras to collect
evidence of any harassment that goes on while traveling to or from school. The
bully counts on apathetic school officials giving this tired old excuse: “We can’t do
anything. It’s your word against theirs.” Audio-visual evidence isn’t biased and
it’s solid proof of wrong-doing. If enough electronic evidence of actual harm or
threats to harm (how many injuries does it take?) is collected, the bull(ies)
should be permanently expelled from the school district as dangerous
undesirables.
Classrooms, locker rooms, hallways, lunchrooms, and even rest rooms should
be bugged to discourage verbal or physical assaults. Teacher can’t always be
there to personally see the bullying, so electronic eyes and ears should do the
monitoring to help keep order on campus.
I also suggest surveillance systems be installed on playgrounds, not just to
protect kids from aggressive peers, but to gather evidence on any unauthorized
adults who might approach playing children.
I’m all for an individual’s right to a reasonable amount of privacy in daily life,
and I’m against the Orwellian Big Brother State which watches you so closely the
authorities even know what you’re eating for breakfast. A police state could be a
byproduct of fear gone wild. A balance needs to be struck between personal
privacy and electronic vigilance against criminals who make life miserable for
others. But your right to privacy ends at the point where you use your privacy to
hurt other people.
How can anyone safely drive a bus while it’s full of screaming, fighting kids
pushing, hitting and shoving each other, and making it difficult for the bus driver
to think straight and watch what’s happening on the road? Allowing that type of
behavior on a bus full of children is a health and safety violation which should
be reported to the proper authorities.
Airlines have begun to install Air Marshalls on their planes to protect
passengers. An adult Bus Marshall (preferably a volunteer) should be installed on
every school bus, morning and afternoon. The best qualified for the job would be
ex-Marine drill sergeants in top physical condition, skilled in self-defense
techniques. If a kid is caught beating up some other kid on the bus, that dirty
little thug would be kept under restraint by the Bus Marshall while the driver
parks the bus and calls the cops on his cell phone. That rotten bully would be
handed over to the police for assault and battery, just the same as if an adult had
been attacked in the street by a thug. If irresponsible, negligent parents of bullies
get upset about THEIR kid being detained by the cops, tough luck! It’s their own
fault for not making their brat mind.

Some kids manage to tough it out by “joining the crowd”. A very few simply
don’t survive, not even physically. Christian parents, preaching love and tolerance
of even the most evil servants of satan, turn a blind eye and just tell their kids to
rise above the crowd of bullies who attack them daily. Fearful of being beaten up
or worse, some Christian kids might do away with themselves out of abject fear.
Too many Christian parents wimp out by painting Christ as a weak-kneed, mealy-
mouthed Captain Nice instead of the Mighty Lord of Hosts.

Contrary to modern liberal church teaching, God views (and treats) people
differently, according to how they respond to the Gospel. No, God doesn’t relate
to everyone the same way. Some are hardened sinners and permanent enemies
of God while others have the potential for repenting of sin and becoming His own
dear children. The children of the wicked are unclean (counted as pagans) in
God’s sight while the children of godly Christians are holy (acceptable to God) (I
Cor.7:14).

Christians emphasize the importance of going forth into all the world to spread
the Gospel. True, and very, very necessary. As a committed Christian, you
cannot and must not hide your light within the four walls of some church
building. But even adult missionaries periodically take furloughs for a well-
deserved rest, to get badly needed R&R from the hardships, stress and
persecution endured in foreign lands. Cowardly Christian parents are asking
helpless children to get NO break from month after month of the DAILY breaking
of bullying and persecution endured in godless schools. Even when Christian
children get their spring and summer breaks and other occasional holiday time
off, their inward spirit man is grieved that the torment will start all over again
once school starts again.

Even when Christ sent His own grown-up disciples out to spread the Gospel, He
instructed them to waste no time in areas where His message was rejected and
scorned. Instead Jesus’ disciples were to shake the very dust of the unbelieving
area off their feet and consign those wicked people to God’s future judgment
(Matt.10:14; Mark 6:11). If an adult believer were severely persecuted he would
usually be able to go find another job. In God’s Word He instructed His people to
FLEE to another place if they were persecuted (Matt.10:23). Can a bullied child
flee? So much for school always being an ideal mission field! Little children and
helpless teenagers are forbidden to flee their persecutors at school, and if they do
they get into big trouble with the law for truancy. Bullied kids get caught between
a rock and a hard place, and invariably they get crushed.

In Jesus’ day anyone who wasn’t a Roman citizen could be forced to carry a
Roman soldier’s military gear for a whole mile, no matter how heavy the burden
might be. The Roman soldiers occupied Christ’s country. Those cruel, haughty
soldiers symbolize satan and his oppressors. Their heavy equipment, used to
keep Jesus’ countrymen under occupation, symbolizes satan’s WMD. Jesus
taught love. He commanded His followers to carry a Roman soldier’s burden TWO
miles instead of just one (Matt.5:41). But Christ did not command His disciples to
volunteer to carry the enemy’s oppressive burden ten miles or even three. Yet
helpless Christian children are expected to cheerfully bear any burden of
oppression the bully decides to dump on them. They are forced to carry satan’s
burden of oppression not one mile, but a million miles! It can literally break your
back if you try to carry a two-hundred pound backpack for even a quarter mile.
Yet bullied children are expected to carry satan’s WMD in their souls for many
months or years. The emotional (sometimes physical) scars of severe bullying
are lifelong and the painful memories become a heavy burden to bear.

What kind of nurturing environment does an evil hog pen school provide?
Children barely finish learning their ABC’s before the satanic Law of the Jungle is
instilled in them. Only the cleverest, “coolest” and most evil among them can
expect to survive the gauntlet of bullies looking for an easy victim. Children in an
ungodly secular school learn to covet more and more THINGS to maintain an
acceptable image to impress bullies who will pick on them if they appear poor.
The pressure on Christian children to conform to evil is monstrous. Many,
discouraged, just fall into line with the rest of the kids and do as they do so they
won’t stick out enough to get attacked. They learn to curse and swear and cheat
to get ahead. And if they act “good”, their name is mud among those out for
blood. Profound spiritual damage is done to Christian children who are daily and
hourly marinated in the rot and the filth of an ungodly school culture, and have
hatred and violence rammed down their throats by their perverted peers. Even a
grown adult would have trouble keeping his/her integrity in such a dog-eat-dog
environment as many modern hog pen high schools have become.

This stupid doctrine of unconditional forgiveness and tolerance of evil stinks in

God’s nostrils. Why? Because God is a just God and can tolerate no evil.
Christian “love” can degenerate into a catchall excuse for sinful apathy, moral
cowardice and laziness. And just what do you mean by “forgiveness”? Is
unconditional forgiveness called for when your child comes home with his face
smashed in, a few teeth missing, or is permanently disabled by bullying? How do
you forgive some human skunk who brags about doing this and warns your child
that if he/she makes a complaint or comes back to school after getting home
from the hospital, they’ll get more of the same abuse? Talk about casting your
precious spiritual pearls before swine! Pigs only LAUGH at your forgiveness.
They’ll only snort their defiance, turn around and tear you to bits.

God, being perfectly just, cannot forgive sin unless it is atoned for. Why else
would He have insisted on animal sacrifices to cover sin until Christ came to pay
for sin once and for all? Immediately after Adam and Eve sinned, an innocent
animal had to be sacrificed in their place, and God made coats for the two sinners
to cover their nakedness. Sinners are spiritually naked in God’s sight.
Unrepentant sinners are left exposed to the fire of divine wrath (John 3:36). If
God forgave sin without the sinner being cleansed by the blood of Jesus, the devil
could point a finger at God and accuse Him of being an unrighteous judge Who
failed to uphold the righteous demands of divine justice. If a sinner isn’t in his
right mind and “knows not what he does” you can have compassion on him/her.
But many unrepentant sinners laugh at those they’ve hurt and do it again and
again and again just because they can get away with it! To state that you must
forgive all unrepentant sinners is to say that Jesus’ atonement covers even those
who trample upon his blood and permanently reject Him. Following that
rationale to its logical conclusion, you could expect to see rapists and perverts up
in heaven, doing the same old wicked things they’ve always done.

What kind of a wishy-washy wimp refuses to take a bold stand for justice and use
every lawful means to FIGHT for the rights of their own defenseless child(ren)?
Even animals fight to protect their own offspring from bloodthirsty wolves! The
foundation of God’s own Throne is judgment and justice (Psalms 97:2). God’s
own dear Son is going to dispense godly justice upon all who reject His righteous
rule (Luke 19:27). Christians yell that you better forgive and love unconditionally
every lowlife pervert that comes along or you’ll fry in hell. Read every Psalm
where David entreated God to punish evildoers who persecuted him in the
wilderness. Where do you think King David is today? Heaven or hell? Has God
changed His mind about what is right and wrong? Did God send King David down
to hell to shovel coal because he didn’t stand still and smile while King Saul threw
a spear at him? Some Christians would chide David for failure to “love” Saul
enough to let Saul use him for a pin cushion. Baloney!

Jesus says this about forgiveness, in the case of your spiritual brother: IF HE
REPENT, forgive him (Luke 17:3). Notice that little word “if”. This “unconditional
forgiveness” doctrine doesn’t fly for at least two reasons: First and foremost,
there is no repentance on the part of a bully who assaults you on the school bus
day in and day out. The word “repent” comes from a Latin word which means to
“turn around”. You turn around to go in the other direction. You don’t keep on
going down the broad way to destruction. To repent is to TURN FROM SIN, not
just mouth an insincere “I’m sorry” when the teacher forces you to do it. The
other reason this scripture doesn’t apply to unrepentant bullies is an interesting
one: Jesus said forgive your repentant BROTHER. A bully is NOT my brother! I’m
tired of hearing this ridiculous donkey dung about the brotherhood of all men.
That’s secular humanism, not the Bible. I’ve got a different dad than a bully does.
God is my Father. Satan is the bully’s father. When unbelieving religious people
insulted Jesus, He didn’t shower unconditional Hershey’s Kisses on them. Christ
said satan was their father, not God, and they practiced the works of the devil
(John 8:44).

Where there is true repentance, God expects you to forgive and reconcile. But
you are no greater than God is. What if your little girl came home crying, with her
dress torn, her eye blackened, and some of her hair pulled out? Why should you
brush off violent criminal acts committed against your children as if they were
only harmless pranks? You’re no holier than your Maker. He cannot justly forgive
anyone who refuses to repent and goes around bragging about the evil they’ve
done. Does God expect more patience and mercy from you than He does from
Himself? Are unrepentant men of violence precious in the sight of God? God says
in Isaiah 51:8 that the wicked will end up as motheaten worm food.

Even when you can’t truly forgive an unrepentant individual, release them into
God’s hands and just pray for them as He leads. Ask Him to disentangle your
injured emotions from the situation so you’ll keep His peace in your heart and
mind. Some people are so grossly wicked and rebellious they’re beyond all
prayer. If they’re that hopeless, God’s Spirit will soon remove any burden you
might have to pray for them. But don’t stew and torment yourself over wrongs
others do you. Bring them ALL to God in prayer and leave them there, fully
expecting that God, the Righteous Judge, will settle the score (see Luke 18:7)
and heal all the hurts. The unrepentant violent bully will rue the day he ever
messed with God’s own! An angry bear is a gentle kitten compared to God, once
His wrath is heated up to a rolling boil (Psalms 76:7).

Righteous divine wrath IS called for in such a terrible, desperate situation as

severe bullying. But that’s God’s job, not yours (Rom.12:19). He promises to
pay back the evil done to you. Don’t ever let anger boil in your bosom or you’ll
poison yourself on it and sink into a deep funk of depression. Only the LORD is
big and strong enough to contain and rightly channel the terrible wrath of divine
justice. Never take it upon yourself to wreak your own vengeance or you’ll just
end up getting in deep trouble or harming yourself spiritually. Instead, release
that dirty lowlife who hurt you into God’s capable hands. God’s got more than
enough anger for both of you, and he’ll see to it that your unrepentant persecutor
gets the thrashing of his/her life. Ask God to not only take the heat of anger and
depression of hurt away, but to replace those negative emotions with His own
joy, the joy which comes from a profound peace which passes all understanding
(Phil.4:7).
