Calling all Christians to remove their children from public schools

“I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth. I advise no one to place their children anywhere where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution whose men are not unceasingly occupied with the Word of God must be corrupt.”
– Martin Luther

Martin Luther’s words from the 1500’s have proven eerily prophetic. This website is a call, especially to Christians, to remove your children from the pagan institutions known as public, or government, schools. Evidence will be given to show how dangerous these institutions are spiritually, morally, and academically.

If you don’t agree with everything you read here, I encourage you to do the research yourself and pray about it. If you do agree, I hope you will take action and begin home “schooling” or enroll your children in a bible-based private Christian school.

Twelve-year-old Alexa Gonzalez , a NYC junior high student, was arrested and taken in handcuffs to a police station for writing on her desk with an erasable marker.

Gonzalez wrote “Lex was here 2/1/10″  and “I love my friends Abby and Faith.”

The girl was released after being held for several hours at the police station.

Gonzalez must perform eight hours of community service, as well as writing a book report and an essay on what she’s learned from the experience.

While I don’t endorse writing on desks and damaging public property, handcuffing and arresting a child for this is extreme and inexcusable.

Other New York City Student arrests:

2007 – Chelsea Fraser, 13, arrested for writing on her desk
2008 – Dennis Rivera, 5, handcuffed and sent to a psych ward after throwing a fit in his kindergarten class
2009 – 12-year-old sixth-grader arrested for doodling on her desk

In 2004 Donna Busch visited her son’s kindergarten class in Newtown Square, PA. Busch’s son, Wesley, was the featured student for the school’s “All About Me” activity, during which a parent is permitted to read from their child’s favorite book.

Unless, of course, that book happens to be the bible. When Wesley’s teacher saw that his mother intended to read Psalm 118 from the bible, she made her stop and went to ask the principal if that was acceptable. Principal Thomas Cook informed Busch that reading from the bible in public school was against the law and he did not allow her to read the Psalm.

Since it was October, she was invited to read to the children from a book about witches, witchcraft and Halloween, which she declined to do.

In the years since that day a U.S. District Court and Court of Appeals have upheld the school officials’ decision. On January 19, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, allowing the decisions by the lower courts to ban bible reading to stand.

“If these acts of censorship and discrimination are allowed to continue, there will be absolutely no freedom for religious people in public schools in this country.” -John W. Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute

Martha Thompson, 55 a school bus driver in New York plead guilty to 37 counts of reckless endangerment and has been sentenced to 90 days in jail for being drunk behind the wheel during a chaotic ride in May of 2009 captured on the bus’ surveillance video. The driver had a blood alcohol content of .15. Thompson will be on six months of home electronic monitoring, five years probation and mandatory alcohol counseling.

At the time, she thought the children were over-reacting. The bus hit high speeds, ran over a mailbox and started rolling backwards downhill.

Student: “Turn the bus off!”

Driver: “No.”

Student: “You’re backing into the freaking ditch; you’re making the little kids cry. Stop!”

Finally, the children opened the emergency door in the back of the bus to get out, despite Thompson pleading against it.

Driver: “You can’t get off the bus!”

A New Jersey woman, Cindy Schwalb, is in court for a disorderly conduct charge for cursing a middle school principal. A boy pulled down Schwalb’s 13-year-old daughter’s sweatpants in front of other students at Hasbrouck Heights Middle School.

Schwalb attended a school board seminar about bullying and got upset when her daughter’s case wasn’t given the attention she felt it deserved. She became enraged when the district superintendent starting asking her questions, including one about whether her daughter was wearing a thong. Superintendent Joseph Luongo says it was a fair question, “I had to find out what body parts were actually revealed.”

Sounds like another case of blaming the victim. They better not let me near any boy that attempted to do that to one of my daughters, brings out the mother grizzly bear in me!

In Waterbury, CT, students have been told to say, “Happy Winter,” instead of “Merry Christmas.” Erik Brown is the principal of Walsh Elementary School. He has banned all religious festivities and decorations. He told the Republican-American newspaper that he’s just following state law. “This is not a church,” he said. “It’s a school and it’s a public school. I have to do things that include every child. So what we do is celebrate winter.”

Christmas is spelled the way it is for a reason. The holiday (holy day) is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Whether He was actually born on that day is another question. It is the day that has been chosen to celebrate His birth. If you are a Christian, don’t let anyone tell you or your children that you cannot say “Merry Christmas.”
