Paganism is continuing to infiltrate institutions across America, none more so than the education system across the country.
Recently, troubling reports emerged from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, sparking concern about the encroachment of pagan rituals within academic spaces.
As reported by Fox News, “The UCLA Jewish Faculty Resilience Group spoke to numerous witnesses from the lecture and penned a letter to the administration Friday, calling for an ‘urgent and thorough external review’ of its curriculum to put an end to ‘political indoctrination.'”
According to multiple witnesses, an invited speaker led students in a ritualistic prayer, urging them to physically connect with the earth while invoking pagan deities. This prompted some of the students to express deep discomfort and offense at what they perceived as idolatrous worship.
One anonymous witness shared their dismay, emphasizing their discomfort with the speaker’s invocation to “spirits” and the demand to prostrate before pagan entities.
“I was very deeply offended and disgusted,” the witness says. “She starts with like ‘Thank you, creator. Thank you for this day of life.’ And then she starts praying to like the spirit’s mom and stuff. It was crazy.”
The JFRG’s letter also alleges that the invited speaker voiced chants in support of Palestine, prompting accusations of antisemitism from the professors.
In America today, we are increasingly confronted with overt displays of paganism that seek to draw this nation further away from God. During these times, we must exercise discernment and rely on biblical wisdom to guide us through these dark days.
The apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Thus, engaging in spiritual warfare against the paganism plaguing our land today requires a deep-rooted understanding of God’s Word and a commitment to prayerful discernment.
