Link goes to the site, but not to Dobson's statement. This article doesn't give his reasons why, but I suspect it is because of the sex education programs in the California government schools.

I did this a while back. When the first of our children were born my wife and I said that none of the children we have will ever grace the interior of the Police State of New Yorks public indoctrination system. While many great and good teachers are in this system it is one that is prone to failure in nearly every way, tells the parents they have no say in most matters and forces the secular world view on them without knowledge of or permission of the parent.

100% Catholic agreement bump. My kids will never see the inside of a public school (aka Culture of Death Indoctrination Center).

As always, Dr. Dobson is not afraid of telling it like it is. I've admired him for years and in the last few years even more so as he has taken some very public stands on some of these significant moral issues. I definitely support Focus on the Family and would urge others to do the same.

I am not yet blessed with children, but I have already decided. They will go to a government school over my dead body. I will either home school them or send them to the school that is affiliated with my church. Government schools are little more than training camps for homosexuals, drug addicts, gang members and obedient little socialists.

Dobson's advice doesn't apply to just public schools. It also applies to most of the secular private schools. Many of the non-Christian secular private schools are worse than the public schools. They teach secular humanism using inane methods.

Took my kids out of publick schools around 10 years ago and never regretted it.

Made my decision the night the principal had a special parents' meeting (scheduled on the same night a soccer signups and cheerleading tryouts, to minimize attendance by involved parents). He announced the grammar school would no longer give grades. Most of the audience agreed with him, which I thought strange until I realized half the attendees were guidance counselors and other administrators, who would actually benefit from the kids' failures. They talked about introducing "invented spelling", and "whole learning". When he held up the new math book, called "Math Their Way", I decided we were out of there. The kids have been doing great in Catholic school.

Let's not forget the VIOLENCE the kids are exposed to in public schools! Crazy adults aside, the undisciplined children practically run the schools. My kids got lots of examples, from kids pouncing on their lunches and outright stealing their desserts (no, they never stole the nutritious stuff) to having teeth knocked out on the playground (the school didn't even bother calling home to let us know) to listening to teachers spend the day yelling at the kids to try to establish some kind of order. They would come home sick from the stress of witnessing this type of behavior and begging to go back to homeschool. No more trying out the public schools for us. This is an 'exemplary' public school in a small Texas town. I understand the city schools are worse.

God Bless You, Dr. Dobson!!!

As a substitute teacher, I see all the Left-Wing, Secular Humanist, Revisionism that is used as Propaganda.

Things such as villifying the original founders of America, claiming that we killed the Indians, villifying our heros. Junk Science, Global Warming, Evolution, etc. are presented as fact. Multiculturalism is huge, and it attempts to tell America's children that the U.S. has no common culture. "Character Assemblies" present Secular Humanist viewpoints in which the children are singing, "You can't tell me what to do.......What is right is what's in my head", etc.

A good percentage of the teachers are lousy, lacking education, have no drive, or are Left-Wingers themselves. Many of them do not see the ardent Propaganda. It's so obvious, yet so many are blind to it.

Get Your Kids Out Of Public Schools

Yep. Period.

I actually attended a church where the pastor admonished the congregaton to send their children to public schools as "truth and light". He, of course, was very absorded in his own kids participation in P. school athletics. Garbage. One doesn't expose their kids to the trash in public schools and at the same time expect them to be moral sentries.

Here's a link to Dobson's March 28 remarks.

[WhiteGuy]

My kid goes to Catholic School

33 kids in class, yet ALL are good readers, all are passing math.

They study all the same core subjects as the government schools, PLUS religous education.

It's a great investment. (I just wish I could get my tax dollars back)
