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.

"At this point, there are many, many pastors and parents who need to be educated about our obligation to provide a
Christian education to our children," Shortt told WND. com.

"In time, most [SBC members] are going to understand better that the little red schoolhouse has really become the little
white sepulcher, and it's a seething cauldron of spiritual, moral and academic mythologies," states Bruce N. Shortt, a
homeschooling father. He also holds advanced degrees from Harvard and Stanford, according to WorldNetDaily's Ron
Strom.

The headline reads: "Baptist activists: Pull kids out of school."
