American Family Association Doesn't Go Far Enough on Calling Christian Parents to Remove Their Children from Public School Indoctrination

Dear American Family Association,

Thank you for this suggestion to pull our children out of public schools on April 15 because of the Gay and Lesbian "Day of Silence" propaganda. However, I don't believe you are going far enough or taking enough of a stand for righteousness.

Given that the public schools are the platform in this country for government indoctrination in homosexuality, immorality, moral relativism, secular humanism, new age mysticism, the lie of evolution and atheistic Darwinism, socialism, etc...why aren't you encouraging Christian parents to remove their children from public schools completely and altogether, once and for all? Why won't you stand up for righteousness, for truth, for the Christian family, for Christian morality, and advise and encourage your followers to do the same and to take the necessary steps to remove their children from government schools?

The evidence is clear and abundant:  public schools are killing our children morally, spiritually, and intellectually. Read Dr. Bruce Shortt's book on the subject. Watch the IndoctriNation movie by Colin Gunn & Juaquin Fernandez. Look at the statistics of the SBC.

The facts are: we are losing 88% of our evangelical Christian kids to the world within two years of graduating from public school. The truth is that we are losing them a lot earlier than that, and the reason we're losing them and the place we're losing them, is in education, is in the public schools that are leading them astray. They are being indoctrinated in creeds that are anti-Christian and in behaviors that are immoral and destructive. The schools are converting our Christian kids into pagans, while most of the Christian kids in these schools are not converting the pagans into Christians.

Please, please stand up for our kids, stand up for the Christian family, stand up for Christian education, stand up for righteousness, stand up for God's absolute truth.

Sincerely standing with God's children and for their deliverance from government school indoctrination,
Josiah Friberg

My letter above was in response to the following email that I received from Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association. I appreciate the work that AFA is doing in many areas, but I am very disappointed and saddened by the fact that they don't go far enough on this issue by not calling Christian parents to withdraw their children completely from such an ungodly and anti-Christian institution. 


Email letter from the American Family Association begins here:

April 7, 2011      If your child's school allows 'Day of Silence' propaganda, keep your child at home April 15. Let your school officials know that if they are going to allow social and political action in class, your child will not be there.

The Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), fast approaches. This year it will take place in most public schools on April 15. On this day, thousands of public high schools and increasing numbers of middle schools will allow students to remain silent throughout an entire day-even during instructional time-to promote GLSEN's socio-political goals and its controversial, unproven, and destructive theories on the nature and morality of homosexuality.

Parents must actively oppose this hijacking of the classroom for political purposes. Please join the national effort to restore to public education a proper understanding of the role of government-subsidized schools. You can help de-politicize the learning environment by calling your child out of school if your child's school allows students to remain silent during instructional time on the Day of Silence.

Parents should no longer passively countenance the political usurpation of public school classrooms through student silence. If students will be permitted to remain silent, parents can express their opposition most effectively by calling their children out of school on the Day of Silence and sending letters of explanation to their administrators, their children's teachers, and all school board members. One reason this is effective is that most school districts lose money for each student absence.

School administrators err when they allow the classroom to be disrupted and politicized by granting students permission to remain silent throughout an entire day.
Visit this website for complete information on opposing the Day of Silence.  TAKE ACTION

1. Call your local schools and ask whether they permit students or teachers to remain silent in the classroom on "Day of Silence." IMPORTANT: Do not ask any administrator, school board member, or teacher if the school sponsors, endorses, or supports DOS. Schools do not technically sponsor the Day of Silence. Technically, it is students, often students in the gay-straight alliance, who sponsor it. Many administrators will tell you that they do not sponsor the DOS when, in fact, they do permit students and sometimes even teachers to remain silent during instructional time. Also ask administrators whether they permit teachers to create lesson plans to accommodate student silence.
2. Find out what date the event is planned for your school. (The national date in 2011 is April 15, but some schools observe DOS on a different date).
3. Inform the school of your intention to keep your children home on that date and explain why. (A sample letter is available.)

The Harsh Truth About Public Schools & Christian Parents Educating Children God's Way

SHOCKING FACT: 88% of evangelical Christian children are leaving the church and walking away from the faith within two years of graduating from public schools.

WHY? The reason for this is that 85-90% of Christian parents in America have given their children over to Caesar to be indoctrinated by a secular humanist, socialist, anti-Christian worldview "public school" system that is completely contrary to everything that the Bible stands for, to what Christian parents say they believe, and to the values, moral absolutes, ethics, and principles Jesus Christ and of the biblical Judeo-Christian worldview.

The vast majority of Christian children in America are not being educated according to Christ and his commandments, are not being discipled in the truth God has revealed in His Word, and are not being taught and mentored by their parents (or even by godly Christian teachers) according to the Biblical Educational Mandate as found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Matthew 28:18-20, and Ephesians 6:4.

Please take a few minutes and watch this YouTube video that was recorded at a Southern Baptist Convention a few years ago. The second person at the microphone is Roger Moran from Missouri, and the third person with the yellow tie is Bruce Shortt of Texas.

The topic is the "culture war" going on all around us between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, between righteousness and wickedness, between Christ and the false gods of statism, secular humanism, and socialism.



Roger Moran makes a good point when he says, "At what point are Southern Baptists going to rise up and say, 'Enough is enough!'?"

Bruce Stortt makes an excellent point when he says that the Southern Baptists want to "engage the culture," but what that really means is "an abject surrender to the culture!" He strongly disagreed with the leader of the convention who urged Christian parents not to remove Christian children from the public schools because that would mean removing a "Christian witness" from the schools.

However, the fact is that Christian children are being converted to the world in public schools rather than converting the world to Christ. The harsh truth is that we're losing almost 90% of these Christian children to the world and their salt is being neutralized and their light is being extinguished! Jesus told his mature, adult, trained disciples to be salt and light in a heathen society, not children. Nowhere in Scripture are children missionaries. For decades now, many Christians have believed in the "salt and light" rationalization, but what do we have to show for it? The shocking truth is that Christian children in public schools are not converting the heathen, but rather, the heathen are converting our Christian children.

Shortt points out that in the California public school system, all children, including kindergarteners, are being INDOCTRINATED to believe that homosexual, bi-sexual, and other sexually deviant lifestyles are moral, normal, and acceptable. Homosexuality is actively being mainstreamed in all government schools, starting from age five, and there are now over 3,000 school districts that have homosexual clubs in middle schools and high schools.

For an in-depth look at the immoral, unrighteous, anti-Christian, and destructive humanist indoctrination system called "public schools," please read Dr. Bruce Shortt's book, The Harsh Truth About Public Schools.

In his book, Dr. Shortt states:

"Contrary to what many Christians have been led to believe, there is no such thing as a 'neutral' education," Shortt writes. "All education is religious and conveys a worldview, and there is no more important decision that we make as parents than how we educate our children."

"Unfortunately, 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; and, our children are being forcibly indoctrinated to believe that homosexual behavior is acceptable."

"Homeschool parents must have this book to minister to their Christian friends and neighbors, pastors and skeptical relatives. Our government-school habit is sowing the wind, and unless Christians turn from this gross sin we will reap a whirlwind that is unimaginable."

In his book, Shortt documents the dangers of public schools, saying the anti-Christian thrust of the governmental school system produces inevitable results such as "moral relativism (no fixed standards), academic dumbing down, far-left programs, near absence of discipline and the persistent but pitiable rationalizations offered by government education professionals."

Shortt urges pastors and Christian leaders to read the book so they might "understand why the church can no longer abdicate its historic role in the education of our children."

This book makes it clear why no Christian child should be left behind in government schools. "Our Christian children are perishing because parents and pastors lack knowledge. The information in this book exposes the 'salt and light' and the 'our schools are different' rationalizations for educating Christian children in pagan schools for the contemptible falsehoods they are."

"Any parent or pastor who genuinely desires to be faithful in the education of Christian children needs to find out what the public schools are actually doing, rather than relying on what they are saying they are doing or on memories of the public schools as they may have existed 10, 20 or 30 years ago."

Removing Christians from Public Schools Will Save Our Children & Win the Culture War

Jesus Christ taught that we are to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to GOD the things that are God's,"

but today 90% of Christian parents are rendering to Caesar (the state) the things that belong to God, which include our precious children, the most treasured gifts that God has entrusted to our stewardship and discipleship!

Shockingly, 90% of Christian children are sent into the government's indoctrination camps called public schools by their Christian parents.

Tragically, as a direct result of these Christian parents neglecting and disobeying God's clear Biblical Education Mandate to give their children a thoroughly Christian education, to disciple them according to Christ, rather than conforming them to the world, we are losing 85% of Christian children to the world. Within two years of graduating from high school, 85% of these children will walk away from God, from their faith, and from the church.

Christians will NOT win the Culture War until they first REMOVE their children from government schools. Watch this short video and then pass it on to your family, friends, and most importantly, your pastor.

In this presentation ("Whoever Controls the School Controls the World"), dynamic speaker Dr. Voddie Baucham knows what most parents are too quick to dismiss: whoever is teaching our children is also discipling them. Truly, all education is religious, and education is discipleship.

Dr. Baucham persuasively argues that Christian parents need to take the initiative in their children's education and stop turning them over to the anti-God environment of the government school. Using Scripture, statistics, and sound reasoning, Dr. Baucham powerfully makes the case that whoever controls the schools does indeed control the world.

Listen to the words of that great leader of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther:

"I am afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt."

The Bible teaches that Christian parents have the God-given authority, duty, and responsibility to govern the education of their children and to make sure to give them a thoroughly Christ-centered Biblical worldview godly education. See Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 1:8, Proverbs 22:6, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

The existence of anti-Christian secular humanist government schools is not the problem; the real issue is Christian parents using these ungodly schools to train their children. It is time for Christian parents to repent, turn away from this foolishness, remove their kids from the government indoctrination centers called "public schools," and take personal responsibility to truly educate their children according to Christ, either through homeschooling or through partnering with high quality Christian schools.

Christian Parents Called to Educate their Children According to Christ, Not the World

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to CHRIST." - Col 2:8

It is shocking to me that 85% of Christian children in America are taken captive every day for 7 hours by a state controlled public school system that is diametrically opposed to everything that their parents believe in and that is designed to corrupt and destroy their children's faith, morals, and intellect.

Every day millions of Christian parents send their precious children off to be indoctrinated by a religious system of humanism, new age mysticism, and secularism, all of which are completely contrary to the teachings of Christ. The public schools have taken our children "captive" through worldly philosophies, empty deception, ungodly principles, and according to the fallen tradition of men.



Who is responsible for this tragedy that has destructive eternal consequences on their souls and minds and bodies?

We, Christian parents, are responsible before God for this terrible tragedy, because we have not obeyed God's command to disciple and teach our own children and raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, according to Christ. Instead, we have abdicated our parental responsibility by giving our children over to the great usurper, the State, to rob our children of their faith and endanger their souls, minds, and bodies.

For all of this we must repent to God and to our children, turn from our willful and selfish and negligent ways, remove our precious offspring from these godless prisons of indoctrination, and take responsibility to educate them according to Christ, in God's way. If we don't, we will forever lose this generation of children, as well as future generations.
