🚨 Kentucky Update: LifeWise Expansion 🚨
A conservative Christian lobbying group is pressuring the Warren County School Board to reverse its vote against bringing LifeWise Bible classes into public schools during the school day.
Why? Because a new law, Senate Bill 19, gives school boards power to approve “off-campus moral instruction” programs. The Family Foundation has now teamed up with LifeWise Academy to push these programs across the state.
👉 According to the article:
“LifeWise has about 45 planning teams that are forming or are fully formed across Kentucky’s 171 public school districts.”
🚨This mirrors LifeWise’s Ohio playbook: organize small local teams, push sympathetic legislators to pass enabling laws, then scale district by district.
That means nearly every district is a target.
⚠️ LifeWise claims these programs are optional and cost taxpayers nothing, but the reality is different:
• Kids are pulled out of real class time — often art, music, reading, or science.
• Children who stay behind feel left out or stigmatized.
• Programs openly promote church recruitment, not education.
Kentucky already has one active LifeWise district (Marshall County), and proposals are moving forward in Oldham and McCracken Counties. Warren County is under heavy pressure to reconsider.
Kentucky’s SB 19 has opened the floodgates for LifeWise, and the Family Foundation is running point on the political strategy. This is a test state. If they succeed here, they’ll replicate the model nationally. Parents and advocates need to be proactive, not just reactive, in defending secular education.
✊ SEA stands with parents, teachers, and students fighting to keep public schools secular and focused on education, not religious indoctrination.

What people are saying:
- Facebook User: Every state should vote against this. There is barely enough school time for kids to learn the basics and we continue to lag behind other countries. Want you child to have religious training….there are plenty of opportunities that don’t involve i truding on public schools.
