A Tragic Attack in California on Christian Children Ignored by the Media
America’s values are under attack. For years, many of us have felt it in subtle ways: policies that prioritize bureaucracy over freedom, rhetoric that pits neighbors against one another, and cultural trends that undermine faith and family.
But this latest incident in Oroville, California, is a stark reminder that these attacks aren’t always subtle. Sometimes, they’re heartbreakingly literal.
Last week, at Feather River Adventist School, two innocent kindergartners were targeted in an act of pure evil. Roman Mendez, just six years old, and Elias Wolford, a five-year-old, were critically wounded when a man walked onto their school grounds and opened fire.
If you’re hearing about this for the first time, I can’t say I blame you. The mainstream media has barely touched the story. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative they’re desperate to sell.
The shooter met with the principal at Feather River Adventist School in the early afternoon on Wednesday before opening fire and wounding two young boys before turning the gun on himself. The young victims were identified as 6-year-old Roman Mendez and 5-year-old Elias Wolford. Mendez was shot twice, resulting in internal injuries, and Wolford was shot once in the stomach, also resulting in internal injuries. Both boys remain in critical condition.
If that doesn’t make your blood boil, the shooter’s motives will. Authorities revealed that the man—who will not be named here out of respect for the victims—wrote about his intent to carry out “child executions” as retribution for what he described as “America’s involvement in Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians.” Think about that. A grown man, with a documented history of mental illness and a lengthy criminal record, walked onto a Christian school campus and attempted to execute children to make a political statement.
Where’s the outrage? Where are the media outlets rushing to cover this story? You’d think this would dominate headlines, but instead, it’s being quietly swept under the rug. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the tidy, politically convenient mold that the left-wing media loves to exploit.
The truth is, the Biden administration has been quick to lecture law-abiding gun owners while ignoring the root causes of violence. They love to grandstand about “common sense gun reform,” but they can’t be bothered to enforce the laws already on the books. And when their policies contribute to chaos—like defunding police departments or demonizing religious institutions—they’re nowhere to be found when it all goes wrong.
