TAKING PUBLIC EDUCATION TO SCHOOL: Why Are More Parents Bringing Their Students Home?




TOPIC-Without question, there is a mood of discontent in America. But even among the most common, no-brainer big issues our political leaders perpetually fail to solve—the national debt, immigration, national security—there is one that still inexplicably remains in relative obscurity.

Public education.

But, nonetheless, such obscurity does not mean citizens aren’t fed up. It doesn’t even imply that they aren’t taking their children’s future in their own hands.

Mike McHugh and Pastor Calvin Lindstrom are senior staff members of the Christian Liberty Academy and they are available for interviews to discuss the quiet phenomenon that is the great migration to homeschooling underway across America.

Among other nuances of the subject, McHugh and Lindstrom are prepared and eager to address some of the facts clearly outlined in a fascinating article at The New American (see the link below), including:

• The fact that home education is still growing, and is here to stay.
• That the movement has been so successful, many state governments are now trying to develop their own home education courses or online programs in order to entice students to return to the fold.
• How the erosion of Constitutional government in the U.S. in recent decades, as well as the loss of numerous individual freedoms, has only served to motivate more Americans to seek out alternatives to the secular government school system.
• Yet another school year is about to begin, and now is the moment of truth when parents must decide whether to continue to permit their children to be brainwashed with political-correct nonsense…”

"Call Special Guests today to schedule an interview with educators who can explain why a growing number of parents are deciding to quietly proclaim a declaration of independence from government education and indoctrination."
