How an Ohio group is bringing God back to public school
LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel. Opponents say the weekly Bible studies blur the line between church and state.

hate to say it, but God was never truly IN public schools. That lovely “pledge of allegiance” wasn’t even introduced until 1942.

Hi Suze. Yes, it is a lie just as their lie about the country being founded as a Christian country. It is so clearly wrong. But religious leaders have managed to muddy the waters of history to claim it was.
Starting in the 1980s the religious right has taught the misinformation of David Barton the fake Christian that makes stuff up about the US being Christian founded / the founders were totally deeply Christian and it is totally false.
But I know from personal experience it was being taught in Christian schools because James as a young teenager not allowed or not comfortable going home would come to our house, tell us what he learned in school. We would spend a few hours every day showing him from online stuff how what he was being taught was wrong / incorrect. He still had to put the wrong answers on his tests, which he would show us, to keep his grades up. But yes it was being pushed in every church school and every Christian homeschooling program from religious sources. That was started in the 1980s, and James was coming to us in around 2007 from his school. For years he would come to our home, show us his school work, tell us about what his teacher told him, and we would go over it.
We never mocked or ridiculed his teacher nor his highly, on paper, parents. The same parents that abused him, and stopped him from having library books that I would take him to get and return. The husband used his catholic religion to control and abuse his wife. Along with the boy.
So we did what we could. But yes that was the plan and abuse of the kids by the religious schools. Now those kids are in state and federal legislators trying to force what they had been taught into law, even though it is wrong. Hugs. Scottie

Not to mention, to those who actually believe, God can be wherever He wants to be, and no one can make Him stay or go. Plus the bit about pop quizzes and prayer in schools… anyway.
They’re gonna turn the kids off of religion, not bring them deeper. It’s as if they’re unaware of human development. Doesn’t seem that education ought to be their field of work.
I’m not proselytizing or trying to talk anyone into believing anything. ☮🖖☮

Hi Ali. I understand that you are not proselytizing, and please feel free to share your thoughts. But the big problem with this during school, leave and go to have fun while your classmates have to go to gym class or other school function such as even doing homework in the library. Plus the church programs give the kids candies and prizes along with sign up forms to give their friends who don’t come. The kids return to class with all their fun stories and prizes / candy and say to the jealous kids who had to go to class that they can come also, just have your mom sign this sending you to a fundamentalist church program where you can get out of class and have fun. Plus I listened to a report that one school principal went classroom to classroom the first day of school to push the program. Plus that same school a teacher gave a sign up form and a talk about how fun it was to a little Hindu girl. When the teaching assistant helping the student objected and told the teacher the child was from a Hindu family, the teacher excused her action by saying she was just sharing Jesus with the child saying that it was her right to teach the child about Jesus. Those are some of the issues I have with the program. Hugs. Scottie

Oh, yeah. I vehemently disagree with doing this in public schools. It’s wrong, and it shouldn’t happen. At all.
I’m just saying, there are unintended consequences to this, and the results are rarely as the right wing wishes. Including what Jesus himself said about misleading the little ones… 👿
