🚨 New National Coverage on LifeWise & Released Time Programs 🚨
A major piece from Baptist News Global is shining a light on the rapidly expanding push for evangelical Released Time programs in public schools — and how LifeWise Academy has become a $35 million political operation driving it.
The article features voices from the Secular Education Association (SEA), including our own Zach and Molly, highlighting:
• Peer pressure and student coercion
• Children coming home confused, anxious, or crying
• Harmful teachings (hell, biblical literalism, anti-LGBTQ content, misogyny)
• LifeWise’s political ties and model legislation spreading across the country
Importantly, this isn’t just secular groups sounding the alarm. Baptist News Global is calling attention to the real impacts on families and public schools.
Communities can fight back, and the article highlights a major victory in Oldham County, KY, where parents organized early and the board unanimously rejected LifeWise.
