It is obvious to me that we need an alternative to the government-funded and state-sponsored system of educating our children. In previous posts (here’s one) I have provided many urgent reasons for getting the children away from the UN-tainted school…

There are many who tell us “we’ll just do what we want in our home” but once you put yourself under the government, you are a sitting duck for increasing control. For example, in 2004 a charter school in North Monterey County, California lost its license to operate. One of the reasons cited was that parents were using religious texts during school hours. Parents were told that, “any religious instruction during class time for which the school received state money is against the law regardless of the source of funds used to purchase materials.” (The Monterey County Herald, March 27, 2004)

In Canada, the same thing happened — parents thought that since they were at home, they could do what they wanted and teach during the day from the religious books they purchased themselves. That was true until someone decided to enforce the law.
