Let My Children Go

On March 28, 2002, Christian family leader Dr. James Dobson on his Focus on the Family radio broadcast stated, "In the State of California, if I had I child there, I wouldn't put the youngster in a public school . . . . I think it's time to get our kids out . . . ."

American schools receive the highest funding in the world yet consistently rank near the bottom in mathematics, physics, and science. Despite the failings of public schools, more than 80% of evangelical Christians place their children in the public school system, exposing them to physical and moral danger on a daily basis.

The Biblical instruction of our children may be the thrust that God could use to restore American society and revive the nation. A fresh obedience by the Church to its God-ordained role in education may be the catalyst for a new Great Awakening.
