To: cycle of discernment

I’m not being smug. I sacrificed my career and material goods to homeschool my daughter. I didn’t turn her over to be indoctrinated by the state or corrupted by unsupervised peers. I also learned how to block channels on the tv. I consider it a matter of priorities. The easy thing would have been day care, then public school, and me raking in the money as pop culture encourages. I considered that a greedy and self serving route. I’m not suggesting parents can control all outside influences, but they can certainly dramatically cut down on them when children are young if they choose to. Then when their children are older and are exposed to the garbage they will still know how to blush and eschew it.

What's needed here is not government control but **spiritual revival** across this nation. Also...As conservatives, we must close down the socialist-funded, godless, government schools and get the nation's children into private conservative educational settings. Do that and in 10 to 20 years we will see a change for the better.

I homeschooled 3 of my children. ( No TV etc.) But...It was impossible to fully shield them from society's influences.

Even though we attended a conservative church the other youngsters in the congregation did attend government school. Then there were the neighbors, and our extended family and their children. Even in the places like the dentist's office their were common magazines with photos in the articles and advertisements that would have been considered pornography not so long ago.

Again...Our nation is in desperate need of spiritual revival.
