Dr. Darrell Furgason in his first meeting as a school board member in Chilliwack, British Colombia, Canada. |
The week before,
I wrote about a substitute teacher in Washington State being asked to accept a
policy allowing biological males to use female locker rooms.
These cases are the tip of the iceberg. They are part of a “gender
fluidity” ideology known as SOGI ["Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity"] that is being aggressively pushed by so-called “progressives” across the U.S.A. and Canada.
“The
implementation (by the State) of SOGI ideology in public schools is a major battle that is raging right now,” says Dr. Furgason, “and we must get involved in it.”
Darrell put action where his mouth is, and ran for a school
board position last October. But he did not approach this alone. Rather, he and four other Christ-followers ran together, knowing the only way
to change things is to gain a majority vote on the board.
There are 7 board positions. Darrell and his friends needed 4 to secure a majority. They knew if they
did not get 4 seats, they would be [as Darrell put it] “in for hell.”
5 of them ran, 3 of them made it, and a 4th lost by 33 votes. So now they're in the furnace...and loving it!
When Darrell told me his story, I wondered why I had never
thought of this strategy before. Getting a majority vote on school
boards and city councils, running as a pack rather than as lone wolves? Humm.....
This idea
needs traction!
Would churches get behind this? Certainly! Perhaps 1 in 1,000.
I'm forwarding this post to radio talk show hosts I know, urging them to have Dr. Furgason as a guest. Not only is he an authority in political science, with two degrees in philosophy, and a Ph. D. from the University of Sydney, but Darrell is also an authority in biblical worldview. A rare combination.

If you know any radio, television or press people who would interview Darrell, pass this post on and have them contact Darrell through the Worldview Studies Center, here.
Let’s get
Dr. Furgason’s voice, inspiration, and much-needed counsel out there!
