Homeschool

It is no secret I believe in homeschooling. After all I wrote a book about it and my main email has the domain homeschoolwwh.com. I believe how our children are educated is a fundamental religious exercise. There is no such thing as a “neutral” education.


The public schools are actively teaching atheism/secular humanism and relativism. Christian children DO NOT BELONG in atheist schools anymore than they belong in Islamic or Buddhist schools.

I know not everyone has the option for private education. Single parents are pretty strapped, as are those with one spouse too ill to educate and not enough money to afford private school (though there are some very cheap ones out there). This is a tremendous curse on the modern American church. The churches should be taking care of the education of these children whose parents can’t. THAT IS THEIR JOB! To spend money on all sorts of outreach programs while letting the children in their congregation be indoctrinated into atheism is the height of hypocrisy! Not to mention shortsighted stupidity. Proof? 85% of children raised in Christian homes become atheists by the time they are twenty. What happened to “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” ? The fact is these children are being trained to be atheists 6 hours per day, 5 days per week (plus any hours spent in front of the TV.) Two hours of Sunday School is simply not enough to undo the damage.

We- the entire Christian Community- MUST take our children back!

The book she recommends in this post I have recommended before. It is a very important read. I might go so far as to say every parent should read it before they enroll their child in school. It is available for free on the internet.

Affording Independence
Independence being private education (Homeschooling costs $600 per child per year. That is about what many spend on Starbucks.)
