I'm in Texas.

The school isn't affiliated with any church, they just call themselves "a Christian school".

Yes, the history teacher, (not art history, just history) sent this garbage home. The teacher is a highly thought of "Christian" man and used to be principal of the school. I think he's a closet pervert.

I have no idea why they feel the need to teach art history in history class. The teacher defends the use of the book, saying he's teaching the kids what's not Christian art. I don't even know where to start with that idiotic idea, there are a million reasons why it's wrong. One of the parents at the school who is also fighting the use of this book has an art history minor and has never heard of Mapplethorpe so I feel certain we can all get through life without ever having to know that this "art" exists.

I think you should post school details and contact info so any freepers who wishes to get active, can. This is a global battle, one soul at a time.

Thanks.

you have to keep a close eye on everyone while your kids are in public or private school.

In some ways Christian school is worse than public school because parents are lulled into believing the Christian school is a sanctuary from the outside world. It isn't so!

While your child's Christian school experience is extreme, you are fortunate that the event was so blatant because most instances of creeping secularism in the Christian schools are very, very subtle.

All of my children have been in Christian schools and the youngest is now in a Christian school pre-kindergarten program. At the end of the day, however, we ask ourselves "What is the best option for this child at this point?" In the long run, homeschooling continues to be the answer.
