No More Back-to-School
Last month, the theology editor at Christianity Today Stefani McDade published a piece defending her choice to eventually send her young daughter, currently a mere toddler, to a local government school. The back-to-school season prompted her to examine how we think about education, discipleship, and the faithfulness of God.

Christian Liberty Academy: An Alternative to Public School
Lately, education is all over social media and the subject of many news stories. Specifically of interest is the downfall of government schools. Not only do parents worry about the content their children are being exposed to, but they are also rightfully concerned about the lack of academic excellence being achieved.

You Cannot Homeschool
A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling. "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out." Homeschooling has been around for a few decades now, and it has made significant advances in quality and acceptability over the years, but it usually seems to have been relegated to the academic fringes.

Decoupling Schooling from the State
On July 27 [2023],, I went to a forum hosted by Americans for Prosperity, focused on fixing the deep problems in K-12 schooling. I had been asked to come and present my perspective by the organizer of the event, even though he knew I opposed one of the three proposals his organization was supporting.

Government Incompetence Puts Students at Risk
In an obvious attempt to discredit homeschooling as a legitimate education choice, left-leaning “news” outlet ProPublica (in cooperation with Capitol News Illinois) published an article condemning homeschool freedom in Illinois.

Home Schooling Growth Draws New Attention, Concern From Establishment
According to a series in the Washington Post, parents choosing to teach their children reading, writing, and 'rithmetic at home rather than sending them to the school down the street is a phenomenon that is worthy of in-depth research and front-page coverage.

Culture Can Shift Faster Than You Think
I recently had a speaking tour through three South American countries. As I talked with many Christians in these nations, I heard a lot of discouragement. They feel they simply don’t have the influence they need to see positive change occur. In some of the countries, Marxism has taken root and has a stranglehold on politics and economics. Many Protestant Christians I talked to there are hoping to start Christian schools and desire to legalize homeschooling. This seems daunting as Protestants make up only 10-20% of the population.

What About Poor Children? (Christian Education Solution)
The safest place for children to be is at home with loving parents. As it stands, well over 90% of all parents send their children away from them for over 10,800 seat hours K-12 to be instructed by people they barely know. Fifty-eight percent of all working parents send their preschoolers to daycare where they are watched all day by people they barely know. As has been reported elsewhere, sexual abuse of children in daycares and government schools is rampant!
