The Harsh Truth about Public Schools

So what is this book about? It is about the many ways in which government schools are hazardous to children, and especially Christian children. Christian parents need to see government schools for what they really are, not for what they claim to be or for what they once were. This book is about why government schools are unreformable -- why they cannot and should not be expected to provide the Christian education that the Bible enjoins Christian parents to provide their children.

Top Stories of 2004: Baptist Journalist Urges Christian Parents: Pull Kids Out of Public Schools

(AgapePress) - Southern Baptists are being challenged to pull their children out of public schools for "the good of Christ's
church and the strength of their own commitment to Jesus."

Two years ago, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family drew both praise and criticism when he urged California parents
not to send their children to state-run schools for fear they could be corrupted by a pro-homosexual agenda. While
acknowledging there were many Christians teachers in the California system who were "struggling mightily to do what's
right," he noted that kindergartners through high school seniors in the Golden State were being taught "homosexual
propaganda" and "other politically correct, post-modern views."
