I speak as a Southern Baptist.
1.) Home schooling ain't that difficult. Parents should not be scared off from it, as there are many great resources - many will educate the parents about the Christian foundations of our country. (My wife and I home schooled our kids for several years.)
2.) NO church organization ought to seek as much influence as the SBC is. God's Word tells us the parents (primarily the father) are the folks He holds responsible for educating the kids. The church is to support parents - without much regard for which school the rug-rats go to.
3.) The SBC is heading down the path to irrelevance, being more concerned with social ills than with discipleship. Welcoming purpose-driven, seeker-sensitive, and emergent doctrines that tear folk away from Scripture in favor of pleasing man.
4.) Therefore, we ought to have confidence only in Almighty God - the three-in-one creator and sustainer of our souls.

I don't know if I would go that far, it doesn't surprise me that the SBC is taking a stand on these kind of social ills. Remember the Disney boycott? The stand against public schools seems to be more rational than targeting Mickey Mouse.

"Home schooling ain't that difficult." I hope your poor grammar is an attempt to be somewhat funny!
