Recommended: "Public Education Against America"

When people find out that I homeschool my children, I’m never sure what kind of response I’m going to get:

“Good for you.  I wish I had homeschooled my kids.”

“I could never spend that much time around my kids.  I’m so glad when school starts so I can get them out of my hair for a few hours a day.”

“Aren’t you afraid that they won’t be able to get into college?”

“What about socializing?”

For most people, there is the one question that they aren’t quite brave enough to ask, and that is, “Why?”  For me the answer is so simple, yet as I try to give that answer, I find that it is also complex.

There is no ONE reason for homeschooling.  But I think that the book “Public Education Against America” by the late Marlin Maddoux gives some compelling reasons for homeschooling.  This thoroughly researched book will frighten you, challenge you, and motivate you to think twice about entrusting your precious children to the public education system, and to some extent, to any school system.

“While America wasn’t looking, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic was largely replaced by Moral Relativism and Secular Humanism in our kindergartens, grade schools, and universities. 

“This manipulation of the values and beliefs of our young generation is not an accident nor is it due to incompetence.  It is a deliberate assault on the spiritual and moral compass of America’s children.”

This is the book I wanted to write.  After several months of research, I stumbled upon this book the same month it was released.  I was thrilled to find that Maddoux had thoroughly covered so many of the things that I wanted to communicate about the state of America’s education system.  I feel that if you really care about the moral and spiritual state of your children, you owe it to them to read this book.
