Georgia Insight is Retiring!

Webmaster’s note: While “Georgia Insight” might not be be produced monthly, there could be periodical publications as issues arise. Stay tuned.

March 2024
For over 40 years I have volunteered in politics and lived out my motto from Mark 14:8a – “She hath done what she could” – which describes my goal and activity in the political realm.

In recent years, I expanded that first political motto to include Ephesians 6:13a – “…and having done all … stand.” Both have explained the reason for my reporting on the activities of the Georgia General Assembly and, sometimes, I ventured into issues affecting us on the federal or other-state level, as well.

Those scriptures, also, provide my motive for entering politics – it was an extension of my ministry as a Bible teacher. Always, the value of legislation could be determined by its agreement or disagreement with Bible doctrine. The Bible consistently reveals the criteria to determine whether legislation should be supported or opposed.

Early in my ministry, a reader encouraged me to focus on Georgia politics. He said, “Because we can get national information, but we don’t get state data.”

My first publications were handwritten on legal-size paper and reproduced for distribution to those who asked for it. Later, the gift of a used electric typewriter was a God-send for me, as well as my readers! Then came the computer and eliminated the need for white-out for typographical errors! Praise the Lord!!
It has been my joy to serve you as a political reporter, editor and publisher. Thankfully, all of us are blessed to have several Christian conservative individuals and organizations that share politically critical information with us. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless them and each of you!

With prayer and gratitude,

Legislators Must Protect Students’ Constitutional Rights

In November 180 representatives and 56 senators were elected to the 2019-2020 two-year term in the General Assembly. Reelected incumbents know which hot-button issues they’ll face, but legislative freshmen and incumbents need information about emerging problems.

ACTION – Explain the following issue to your senators and representatives and ask them to pass a law to protect the privacy rights of students whose rights are being superseded by educational guidelines and policies.

After 28 Years, Channel One Stops Broadcasting into Schools

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, August 10, 2018 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

For the last 28 years, Channel One has aired a commercial twelve-minute non-academic television program into schools for children in grades six through twelve. Ten minutes of each program were dedicated to youth-specific news that was designed, carefully, by Channel One for use in classrooms.

Participating schools were given 19-inch television sets for each class of 23 students who would be shown special youth-specific television programming 180 days of the school year or 90 percent of the total days schools were in session.

Their take-advantage-of-captive-audiences strategy became obvious with this braggadocios comment from Channel One’s president: “The advertiser gets kids who cannot go to the bathroom, who cannot change the station, who cannot listen to their mother yell in the background, who cannot be playing with Nintendo.”

No doubt, Channel One’s intent was to take advantage of classroom children, and they did. By 1990 the captive audience included about 40 percent of all 11- to 18-year-old students, meaning almost half of grade schools had contracted with Channel One to show ten-minute versions of news and two minutes of commercials created for impressionable children to absorb in school classrooms.

“Look, we have to stop with political correctness. We have to get down to creating a country that’s not going to have the kind of problems that we’ve had with people flying planes into the World Trade Centers, with shootings in California, with all the problems all over the world. We have to find out what’s going on. And we can’t be the stupid country any more. We’re laughed at all over the world. We can’t let people come into our country and break our borders.”  (Fox Business 2016 Republican 2-tier debate, January 14, 2016)
