Community of Homeschoolers Provides Escape From The Poisonous Culture

Nearly half of the estimated 2 million children homeschooled last year were homeschooled for religious reasons and most homeschooling parents are Christians.

The reason that 1 million children are being homeschooled by their parents is to protect they child from the poisonous culture.  This problem is underestimated by most the political leaders. They don’t realize just how dangerous the culture and the public schools have become to Christian values. 

In the book, ‘The Marketing of Evil Book”, David Kupelian who is also the managing editor of WorldNetDaily.com, has this to say:

“We are deluding ourselves into believing there is some neutral ground between good and evil, and that this is where the government is supposed to be.”

“To put it another way, without having a real relationship with the Living God, men automatically become their own miserable ‘gods’. That pathetic, false god in turn owes his allegiance to dark forces he doesn’t recognize or comprehend.”

“Public education today doesn’t honor God, doesn’t recognize God, in truth doesn’t really want there to be a God. … Understand, I’m not talking here about whether prayer or Bible reading should be permitted in the classroom or whether the Ten Commandments should adorn a hallway display or things like that. Rather, I’m saying the government’s school system has been cultivated to indoctrinate, to mold, to socialize children, and even to prepare them for the work force, but not to bring forth from within them the noble character and understanding of truth that lie buried within each child.”

“If there is no awareness of God, truth becomes relative, socialism becomes attractive, immorality becomes acceptable, and philosophies become bizarre. “

“Of course, the main factor keeping most American children in government schools is that they’re free. So isn’t free schooling a good thing?  Free food is great too, but not if it’s been poisoned. “

“Today’s culture is so poisonous that your only hope is to literally create another culture entirely – a subculture.  The best solution I know of for accomplishing this is to homeschool your child and network with other like-minded parents in your area. … I believe homeschooling today represents the single most important and promising avenue for the true rebirth of American Judeo-Christian culture.  The real America is now being reborn in families where children are raised with real understanding and insight and protected from the insanity of the popular culture until they’re big enough and strong enough in their convictions to go out in the world and make their mark.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.  David explained the education crisis with clarity.  Removing God was the beginning of the end.  I’m just glad homeschooling is still legal, because the next generation will likely take aim at Christian homeschoolers.  I'm glad for the 1 million other homeschoolers because they give us some protection from out right targeting homeschooling.

When socialism fails, as it just did with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the response will very likely be to extend the government’s power to further socialize America under the disguise of saving the financial markets – all the while refusing to recognize that it was the believe in relative truth that led to our believe is socialism, which led to our bad investments and attempts to planning the economy. 

We need government reform, led by new leaders, but our leadership talent has dwindled as our declining educational system has reduced the number of qualified leaders. The removal of God centered education has accelerated the ideas of socialism that continue to centralize power, adding to the risk of the possibility of a corrupt leader getting is a position of tremendous power.  America needs to turn back to God, starting with our educational system.  The path without God is far too dangerous.
