The Dangers of Middle School include bullying, assault, no school choice (in many areas) and getting brainwashed in Old Earth Fallacies (OEF's).
When I was still in grade school I would read Time-Life science books and I took the millions of years at face value. Sadly, public schools only lean one way:
#MOYA ==> Millions Of Years Ago
#BOYA ==> Billions Of Years Ago
#TOYA ==> Trillions Of Years Ago anyone?

Since the Corona Crisis, many parents have chosen homeschooling and Christian Schools. School Choice is boss'n' for real. Check out John Stossel's well reasoned essay for learning freedom. Stossel came out with No, They Can't: Why Government Fails - But Individuals Succeed in 2012.
The anti-YoungEarth propaganda is almost complete. I perused dozens of alternatives to Google and hardly found any that were sympathetic to Young Earth Science (#YES). Try this search and see what you get:
"young earth movement" growing.
If you find a search engine sympathetic to YETI (Young Earth Theory Intelligence) let me know:

Remarkably, the Tulsa World had a story on Young Earthers a few years ago.
Flood legends from around the globe are strong evidence of a worldwide cataclysm not that long ago. A global catastrophe just thousands of years ago and the young earth concept go hand-in-hand. Catastrophism implies that most of the rock record (e.g. Grand Canyon) was formed rapidly. Miao, mountain people of China and Southeast Asia, speak the languages of the Hmong-Mien (Miao-Yao) family. Here is their tale:
So the earth began filling with tribes and with families. Creation was shared by the clans and the peoples. These did not God's will nor returned His affection. But fought with each other defying the Godhead. Their leaders shook fists in the face of the Mighty. Then the earth was convulsed to the depth of three strata. Rending the air to the uttermost heaven ... His wrath flaring up filled His eyes and His face. Until He must come and demolish humanity. Come and destroy a whole world full of people. So it poured forty days in sheets and in torrents. Then fifty-five days of misting and drizzle. The waters surmounted the mountains and ranges. The deluge ascending leapt valley and hollow. An earth with no earth upon which to take refuge! ... But the Patriarch Nuah was righteous. The Matriarch Gaw Bo-lu-en upright. Built a boat very wide. Made a ship very vast. Their household entire got aboard and were floated, The family complete rode the deluge in safety. The animals with him were female and male. The birds went along and were mated in pairs. When the time was fulfilled, God commanded the waters. The day had arrived, the flood waters receded. ... [after a number of generations] God struck at them then, changed their language and accent. Descending in wrath, He confused tones and voices. One's speech to the others who hear him has no meaning; He's speaking in words, but they can't understand him. So the city they built was never completed; The tower they wrought has to stand thus unfinished. In despair then they separate under all heaven, They part from each other the globe to encircle. They arrive at six corners and speak the six languages. [1]
Tonal languages include Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, Hmong, Punjabi, Yorùbá, Igbo, Ewe, and Cherokee. Note that the Miao teach that our planet is a sphere with the phrase "globe to encircle."

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a famous Deluge story. Gilgamesh was the fifth king of Uruk (Iraq) which some date to around 2500 BC. There is good evidence for his historicity and Archeologists claim to have discovered his tomb in 2003. [2] Here is an account even earlier than the Gilgamesh tale. It is known as the Nippur Tablet (CBM 13532):
[the confines of heaven and earth] I will loosen ... [a deluge I will make, and] it shall sweep away all men together ... [but thou seek l]ife before the deluge comes forth ... [For over all living beings], as many as there are, I will bring overthrow, destruction, annihilation ... build a great ship ... total height shall be its structure ... it shall be a house-boat carrying what has been saved of life ... with a strong deck cover [it] ... [the ship] which you shall make ... [into it br]ing the beasts of the field, the birds of heaven ...
Nick Liguori has documented 333 tribal accounts of the Flood ... and that's just in North and South America alone! The Montagnais (Innu) of Canada have a tradition of the Deluge:
God. being angry with the giants, commanded a man to build large canoe. The man did so. and when he had embarked in it. the water rose on all sides, and the canoe with it. till no land was anywhere to be seen. Weary of beholding nothing but a heaving mass of water. the man threw an otter into the flood and the animal dived and brought up a little earth. The man took the earth or mud in his hand and breathed on it, and at once it began to grow. ... As it continued to grow into an island, he desired to know whether it was large enough to support him. Accordingly he placed a reindeer upon it. but the animal soon made the circuit of the island and returned to him, from which he concluded that the island was not yet large enough. So he continued to blow on it till the mountains, the lakes, and the river were formed. Then he disembarked. [3]
Why are the hundreds of flood legends global? Charles Martin explains:
The story of the Deluge - or the Global Flood of Noah - permeates nearly every culture in the world in some way, shape, or form. While details vary between the different cultures, the same basic elements, occur in all versions. ... the different versions all refer to the same event - passed on from generation to generation, through various developing cultures. Through these legends, this epic event has remained woven into the tapestry of cultural history - sharing not just the story of survival, but the power of obedience, and the fulfillment of God's enduring promise.

Kudos: Special thx to John "Ark Hunter" Morris (YES, that Morris) for the info on the Nippur Tablet ... BTW, my fave hymn is Hold To God's Unchanging Hand.
