There is a lot of information currently circulating on the Internet about school systems, but some voices often shout louder than others. Monica and I hold the position that we are FREE IN CHRIST to choose public/private/home schooling for our children, and God is not displeased with EITHER of those choices. We are also NOT convinced that a Christian child’s moral, Biblical compass is in imminent danger of being destroyed within a public school setting. ALL school systems have their pluses and minuses, and it is important to remember that GOD IS IN CONTROL. He cannot be removed from anything and He has dominion over everything.
That being said, we would like to offer the following LINKS to information that we hope will educate and encourage … especially regarding parent/student/educator rights in the public school system of America. YES, we are absolutely aware of problems, but it is important to understand the FACTS and truthfully evaluate what is going on around us rather than have a knee-jerk reaction to things. We will update this page from time to time with new resources — and PLEASE email us if any of the links are discovered to have gone dead.
