Thinking of Public School?
My friend Keri over at A Happy Home posted this article recently...just a little reminder of why our family homeschools.

Thinking of Public School?
It seems to me that any thinking individual would be able to clearly see the ridiculous bias in religion that public schools are soaking in, and in turn are confidently seeking to saturate your children in. It’s been long understood that districts seek to turn your children into devout secular humanists, but with multiculturalism added into the mix it becomes almost laughable if it weren’t downright tragic.
Imagine this. You’ve sent your tender children off on the yellow school bus, imagining a day full of learning to read, practicing math, and engaging in science experiments. This, in itself, is a figment of anyone’s imagination given the consistent rock-bottom test scores that continue to come out. No worries, however, because the NEA will fight any semblance of teacher/school accountability, and if tests won’t become easier to pass, then we’ll just forgo them altogether. Click here to watch a video on just what it is that is passing for math nowadays. Instead of moving forward building bigger and better ferraris, your children have to reinvent the wheels on which the vehicle sits.
So, if your children aren’t learning academics, what are they learning? How about the five pillars of Islam? How about being given the opportunity, for extra credit of course, to dress up like a Muslim? Even if you are unlikely to have a “really, great teacher” (as so many children seem to have in their parent’s eyes) who actually uses a textbook, you will find requirements such as the one “...in the Byron Union School District in California, where students were instructed to "become Muslims" was "cultural education.".
So, continuing our example, let’s just say that you’ve bought into the notion that lessons like this, expounded for the majority of your child’s waking hours every day, will still somehow foster a love for God, family, and country (after all, your sweet child does get an hour of Sunday School every week). As your baby graduates high school, you’d maybe like to buy an advertisement in his high school yearbook, wishing him well. This you will be allowed to do, as long as you don’t offend anyone by saying anything as humiliating as “May God bless your life.”
The ironic thing to me is, by this time your child will be so indoctrinated with the religion of pacificism and multiculturalism and feminism and hate-America-ism that he really won’t care a spit about what you put in his yearbook, as long as you are not in any way offering a “desecration of Allah." .
No Christian child belongs in a public school. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.
Blessings,

If my kids were little I would home school. I think home schoolers do a great job educating their children.
Hey, thanks for letting me know that you received your book!
I hope it blesses you!
I continually pray for health in your family!
Thanks for visiting Biblicalwomanhood.com through my website!
On another note,
thank God that I homeschool!
This post was downright scary!!
Thanks again,
Candy
Thanks for visiting me and running this post. I think we should be scared about what is being taught, and we ought to prepare our children for the war of the minds that they are going to engage in all too soon. May God give us lots of grace to do it, and the vision to see it through.
Blessings to you and yours,
Keri
"No Christian child belongs in a public school. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it." Hmmm...very interesting comment. I disagree 100%. I am a Christian and went to public school in the 1960's and 1970's, graduating in 1978. I believe the Lord strengthened and helped me in a way I would never have been strengthened and helped if I had been home schooled. I'm grateful to Him that there wasn't such a thing as home schooling at the time! My parents protected me so much as it was I'm not sure I would have turned out well. But who knows? I'm grateful for the life lessons that I learned in those years. I developed a strong Christian character through those school trials and tribulations, and I learned best of all how to lean on my Saviour and Friend. Our son is currently in public school. He spent 9 years of his life in a private Christian school, and there are pros and cons in each school. In Grade 9 he begged to go to public school, because of greater educational opportunities, and we let him. I'm not fond of the school system in general, but to take all Christians out of the public school system wouldn't be right. "You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?...You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." Matthew 5: 13 & 14 We can let our light shine wherever we are, and we cannot hide at home all of our lives. God is well able to keep us in every situation. We don't need to be afraid.
