I agree with the article with the exception that we created the problem.

This whole article in a nutshell; "The Commie teachers are brainwashing our children to their anti Christian Socialist agenda while they are captive in the classroom."

Separation of School and State BUMP!

Matches what I observed working for a very conservative church for a decade. Doesn't show up until the kids are teenagers, then the usual teenage rebellion schtick kicks in with strong leftwing overtones.

I have one question about this "indoctrination" If the schools can't teach kids how to read and do math, how are they so succesful in turning them into socialists. Oh and one other question. How successful are these schools once Johnny sees how much tax is removed from his firt real paycheck?

It's not that organizations like the NEA don't try, and the AFT to a much lesser extent, but they're just not successful in their efforts. Indoctrination in schools in a free society doesn't work. If it did the Catholic Church wouldn't be facing empty pews on Sunday. Where are all those graduates of Catholic schools in the 50s and 60s and 70s? More than half are not there or are just sprinkling Catholics. And no it wasn't Vatican II since most of these folks never saw a Latin Mass.

School districts and teacher unions may be trying to spread their ideology, but I have little fear of them being successful.

Yet one more reason my children will never go to a public school.

What a scam!!

You send this guy money, He sends you a "Test" to give your kid(s) which of course your kid(s) will almost certainly fail, and then of course he has all kinds of books and videos to sell you in order to "fix" your kid(s)

It's guys like this who turn more kids/teens off to religion than any Atheist school teacher could ever dream.

Kids have built in BS detectors, They will see right through this crook.

This is because, while Christian school students are generally taught curricula predicated on a biblical worldview, students educated in public schools, even when they grow up in Christian homes, tend to a very high degree to adopt the non-biblical and socialistic worldviews of the secular humanists in control of their education.

This was true in my case, particularly my high school years. On some level I knew that what I was being taught contradicted my faith, but I was unable to explicitly identify and resolve the contradictions floating around in my mind.

But I was fortunate enough to experience and identify my state of mental anguish, even if I couldn't find a way to free myself of it. In other words, at least I was angry, even if I didn't understand why. Unfortunately, most children learn to live with this cognitive dissonance by adopting a generally indifferentist and agnostic position regarding life itself. I'm convinced that this explains teenage ennui.

The purpose of life for all people is to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy forever with Him in the next. Any purported education that claims to prepare children for life, yet neglects the central purpose of life, is child abuse of the highest order.
