Careful. You have no idea what their personal situation was - whether either of the other options that you mentioned could work for their family. We homeschooled our son but it was not easy and there are families who would not be able to do it.

If it’s a case where they could have done other options there’s still the possibility that they wanted to stay in the system to help protect both the families who don’t even know what their kids are getting at school and the society that has to deal with the fallout. Sometimes it’s not an easy decision as to whether to abandon the fight for society in favor of protecting family. Not an easy decision at all.

Granted, that homeschooling may be a way to lessen the effects of the nanny state on your own particular child.

Several good thoughts posted here. Of course it is outrageous that a school would promote Islam over our Christian heritage, but Satan is powerful and having lots of tactical success on battlefield earth lately. Thank God we have the Book and we know how the story ends, and we are "waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." And yet, it is still very sad to watch our beloved "America" and the Constitution being assaulted from within. I applaud the Marine (story doesn't give his rank) for what he is doing. At least he is standing on his principles and taking action. It is a big committment of time and money, and it potentially could impact his career. My two oldest kids did very well in public school, but my youngest did not and I wish I had put her in private school. However, I believe she would have struggled anywhere she was because of “wanderlust.” My son went to a large public school and carried a big (duck taped) Bible with him to school. To him it was a badge of honor and a witness. He was a leader, athlete and academically gifted, but not arrogant. He was bold and when given the opportunity he would “defend his faith” in class. Everyone is different. Repeat, everyone and every situation is different and you must fo what is right for you, before God.
