10 Reasons Why Public School Is 
No Longer a Viable Option.

Now, more than ever, parents are taking their kids out of the public school system and choosing private or homeschool. We believe certain issues are worth fighting for.
Here are ten.

God & the Bible.

Secular Worldview:

“We gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man’s name!” he said. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!” But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.” 


Acts 5:28-29 (NLT)

Biblical Worldview:

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.  God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” 


2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)

1. Freedom of Religion

Religious Liberty and Freedom of Speech are protected for everyone except Christians.  Teachers and students alike are not allowed to express their Christian faith but religions like Islam or even Wiccan (Satan worship) are protected and even promoted.

3. No Prayer In Schools

Prayer has been criminalized. Teachers are not allowed to pray and students who attempt to pray are humiliated and ridiculed.  Instead of students developing a dependence and respect for God. They are made to feel foolish for believing in Him.

2. Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution removes God as the creator and therefore eliminates the spiritual identity and immense self-worth of every student.

4. No Bible in Schools

The Bible is mocked and disallowed at the risk of punishment or embarrassment.  This removes moral absolutes and makes it impossible for students to gain a true understanding of right and wrong.

Government Control.

Secular Worldview:

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, ‘He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.’” 


1 Corinthians 3:19 (NLT)

Biblical Worldview:

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”


 Ephesians 6:4 (NASB)

5. Common Core Curriculum

Common Core Standards have made reason and common sense a thing of the past. In addition to invasive data collection, the Common Core Standards also prevent children from applying to a university unless they meet unreasonable criteria.

6. Standardized Testing

Standardized Testing forces teachers to focus on the bottom third of the class in order to meet minimum requirements for school funding. Consequently, they have no choice but to cater to the students who are at the bottom and ignore the students who could accelerate more quickly.

7. Vaccination Mandate

Vaccinations are now made mandatory in some states, even though many of them are not only unnecessary but often have serious side affects.  Parental rights of refusal are stripped away.

Sexual Immorality.

Secular Worldview:

“That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.” 


Romans 1:26-27 (NLT)

Biblical Worldview:

“God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor--  not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.”  


1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (NLT)

8. IUDs Without Parental Consent

In Seattle, IUD’s (Intrauterine device/birth control devices) are being put in girl students as young as eleven years old without parental consent or knowledge

9. Gender Identity Curriculum

In Virginia, amidst much parental opposition, the public school board approved a curriculum including transgender sex identity lessons. This encourages students to not decide whether or not they are male or female based on their physical bodies; but rather encourages them to experiment with sexual partners of both sexes and to explore their feelings in order to accurately decide which gender they are.

10. Transgender Bathrooms

In California, transgender-confused students are allowed to use either bathroom. For example, if a seventeen year-old boy feels like he is struggling with his sexual identity, he can use the girls’ bathroom and sit in the stall next to your fifteen year-old daughter with her pants down
