In an after election news report, it was reported that a large percentage of the voters in Ohio called themselves born again Christians. Could this outpouring of support from the Christian community have affected this election? Absolutely!

Our country is deeply divided. This is why it is more important than ever to not allow your children to be indoctrinated with humanistic and anti-Christian teachings, curriculum, or by peers. Christians can not afford to lose any more ground. When America was founded more than half of the first Congress members were ordained pastors. Now we only have a handful of Congress/House members voting on laws that are born again Christians. Just as Christians have the responsibility to vote, Christians have a responsibility to lead.

We have known for years that the NEA and other state school organizations openly promote homosexuality to children, but did you know about their new agenda of 'gender indentification' -- whereby teachers, administrators, nurses, and psychologists assist your children in discovering whether they are a boy or girl? America's public schools no longer have any desire to implement Godly values or morals as an institution (this is not to include every teacher, but as a whole what they teach and can teach is valueless by God's standards). Consider these statistics:

In 1988, 74.9 percent of the American public thought that sex between two people of the same gender was always wrong. By 1998, the percentage had fallen to 54.6 percent. If the same trend continues in just 4 years only 34% will consider homosexuality wrong, and in 14 years only 14% of the population will believe in marriage between one man and one women.

Those against the Biblical authority in the public schools will become even more aggressive in their attempt to indoctrinate and change the hearts of millions children from Christian homes. Who's watching our children? Jesus said, "If you are not for me you are against me". Train up your children with this in mind: Are public/secular schools for Jesus or against? Is your home for Jesus or against? The answer should be clear where your children should be educated. Christians must rescue their children from secular schools and secular homeschooling programs.

Gibson, who writes for AmericanDaily.com, is outraged that the Fairfax County school district prohibits recitation of the Lord's Prayer but encourages students to pray to Allah. "We have chased those Christian ideals out of our school system, and now we're bringing in Muslim ideals. It's most troubling that these children are not being given the whole story -- the true face of Islam."

A recent study discovered that young adults who were homeschooled were far more likely to be involved in politics and civic activities than graduates from other forms of education. That is very good news for those of us who want our nation to return to the values of our Founding Fathers-liberty, virtue, and a deep belief in the principle of self- government.

[At Generation Joshua] We believe that homeschool students have the activist traits that are essential for both citizenship and leadership because they often had hands-on experience in the fight for homeschool freedom.

There are many wonderful and sincere Christian ministries trying to change the schools and bring back Christian values to them. These efforts are admirable. However, the following points need to be mentioned:

1. Many believe the schools are not broken. They were created as a mechanism for humanism and that is exactly what they are today. John Dewey is recognized as the Father of modern education. Much of his changes to schools was made possible by the theory of evolution which has become the foundation to all thinking in public schools -- there is no God. John Dewey was strongly opposed to anything that would help Christian faith in children. Since this is the foundation of public schools, children from Christian homes should not attend them.

2. If you do consider public schools broken and think fixing them is necessary, then children from Christian homes should not attend public schools until every subject and every teacher teaches from a Godly perspective. Young and unwise children in public/secular schools are being forced to learn subject matters that God has called sin and this should not be so.

3. It is widely understood and accepted that public schools are hostile to Christianity. However, many Christian parents assume that children are called to be salt and light and witnesses. There is no Scripture to support this view. No where has God called untrained children to such a mission. And sending children out to be missionaries does not absolve the parents responsibility to provide their children with a Godly education.

4. What is clear by Scripture is that God has called Christian parents to provide their children with an education that is based from the Bible.
