Parents are the only people who can make a difference at the grass roots level. Public schools are a joke.

Parents can NOT make a difference. Why? Answer: Because the Anti-Christianity is embedded in law. (Please read Bruce Shortt’s paragraph “All Public Schools, By Law, Are Anti-Christian”. Government schools can NOT be reformed.
Shortt also writes that there is no neutrality in education. This is a fundamental characteristic of all education, and, being axiomatic, can NOT be “reformed” by parents or anyone else.
There Is No Neutrality in Education
Often Christians attempt to argue it downs’t matter that the public school system is not for Christ – that education is somehow religiously “neutral.” Education, however, is never neutral.
Any Christian who believes that government schools operate on religiously neutral principles is simply deceived. There is no such thing as metaphysical or religious neutrality. If an institution rejects the Bible’s teaching about the nature of God, Man and the universe, then it necessarily accepts, implicitly or explicitly, some other worldview, whether it be the materialist metaphysics of secular humanism, the cosmic humanism of the New Age religions, or something else. Government schools are no exception.
On a practical level, the net result of nearly sixty years of Supreme Court rulings on the meaning of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution has not been to create a level playing field for different beliefs, but simply to take all vestiges of Christianity out of government schools. Today, secular humanism, postmodernism, New Age mysticism, and other forms of paganism pervade government schools at all levels. The teachers’ unions, such as the NEA, are openly hostile to Biblical Christianity and its values, and the curricula of schools of education and teachers’ colleges, from which the overwhelming majority of teachers are drawn, are suffused with a mélange of postmodern and other nonchristian worldviews. Not surprisingly, textbook publishers accommodate the education establishment’s worldview by providing textbooks that conform to the prevailing anti-Christian perspective of the education establishment.
