| | Christian parents allow an aggressively anti-Christian institution to form the minds of their children, and the fruit of that choice is bitter. The overwhelming majority of children from evangelical families leave the church within two years after they graduate from high school; only 9 percent of evangelical teens believe that there is any such thing as absolute moral truth.

Much of the timber of public schooling and evangelicalism is as dry as kindling; Millstones & Stumbling Blocks is an open flame.

|  Let My Children Go
by E. Ray Moore
On March 28, 2002, Christian family leader, Dr. James Dobson, on his Focus on the Family radio broadcast, stated, "In the State of California, if I had a child there, I wouldn't put the youngster in a public school.... I think it is time to get our kids out...." We are grateful to Dr. Dobson for this bold stand and hope that it encourages others to take a similar position.
Author E. Ray Moore's has served the Lord as a Bible Teacher, Army Reserve Chaplain (Ret.), and Campaign Consultant, has served thirty years in pastoral ministry as a campus pastor, pastor-teacher in the local church or as an Army Chaplain. He is also Director of The Exodus Mandate Project
His book, Let My Children Go, addresses that while American schools are the best funded in the world, out of 41 nations, American students consistently rank near, or at the bottom in mathematics, physics and science. Despite their failings more than 80% of evangelical Christians place their children in government (public) schools, exposing them to physical and moral dangers on a daily basis.
The biblical instruction of our children may be the thrust that God could use to restore American society and revive the nation. A fresh obedience by the Church to its God-ordained role in education may be the catalyst for a new Great Awakening.
"To commit our children to the care of irreligious people is to commit lambs to the superintendency of wolves." --Timothy Dwight, President of Yale 1795-1817
|  The Harsh Truth About Public Schools
by Bruce N. Shortt
The Harsh Truth About Public Schools is about the many ways in which government schools are hazardous to children, and especially Christian children. Christian parents need to see government schools for what they really are, not for what they claim to be or for what they once were. This book is about why government schools are unreformable -- why they cannot and should not be expected to provide the Christian education that the Bible enjoins Christian parents to provide their children.
Bruce N. Shortt has a Ph.D. from Stanford and a law degree from Harvard, was a Fulbright Scholar, and serves on the board of Exodus Mandate. He is the author of "The Harsh Truth About Public Schools" and several resolutions on Christian education submitted to Annual Meetings of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Shortt is a member of North Oaks Baptist Church and currently practices law in Houston.
