The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many families reevaluating their children's education.
The result? The number of kids in the U.S. who are being homeschooled has doubled! A new report reveals that "[n]early 2.6 million kids have switched from traditional school to homeschooling since the pandemic began," and the total number of homeschooling children is approximately 5 million.
While some parents have decided they want to offer more individualized learning options for their kids, others are certainly responding to the biased indoctrination occurring in public schools. Consider these words from Dr. James Dobson:
There is a fierce battle being waged now in our nation's classrooms for the hearts and souls of our children and grandchildren. Make no mistake, the Left and the secular culture are manipulating the minds of your sons and daughters every day of the year.
In some schools, children are also taught homosexual propaganda, sexual liberation, and other unbiblical and revolutionary concepts. While parents think early public education is about reading, writing, math, and social studies, many boys and girls are being taught concepts that would have horrified earlier generations.
Of the many dimensions of our culture that alarm me, this is the most troublesome. It is twisting and warping millions of present-day children. In addition to what they are being taught at school, their parents are also being indoctrinated with the BIG LIE. It is a multigenerational effort. In some states, such as Colorado and California, moms and dads are not even permitted to opt their children out of the disturbing curriculum. Not all public schools have taken this leftward swing, but those that have will soon "own" the minds and souls of vulnerable boys and girls. Does that disturb anyone but me? It keeps me awake at night.
Not all parents are in a position to homeschool their children. In addition to public schools, still other parents have enrolled their kids in private schools or charter schools. In any case, you must take an active role in your child's education. Keep a close watch on the curriculum, talk to your children about what they are learning in the classroom. And when necessary—speak up! Your children's future depends on your present action.
