“We have math, reading; we have grammar, science, music,” Venessa Mills said.
Her lessons also have a religious slant, which the judge said was the root of the problem.
“My teaching is strictly out of the Bible, and it’s very clear. It is very evident so I just choose to follow the Bible,” Venessa Mills said.
In an affidavit filed Friday in the divorce case, Thomas Mills stated that he “objected to the children being removed from public school.” He said Venessa Mills decided to home school after getting involved with Sound Doctrine church “where all children are home schooled.”
Thomas Mills also said he was “concerned about the children’s religious-based science curriculum” and that he wants “the children to be exposed to mainstream science, even if they eventually choose to believe creationism over evolution.”
In a verbal ruling, Mangum said the children should go to public school.
“He was upfront and said that, ‘It’s not about religion.’ But yet when it came down to his ruling and reasons why, ‘He said this would be a good opportunity for the children to be tested in the beliefs that I have taught them,’” Venessa Mills said.
Well - first, I think we see why the divorce came about - Mom wants kids raised with the Bible as their foundation (admirable and very desirable in my view). Dad wants the kids completely secularized and indoctrinated by the public schools.
Sounds to me like this woman was “unequally yoked” as we are warned about in 2 Corinthians...
And the jack-boot court is only too happy to force the kids into public school indoctrination camps.
