This article from Port City Daily is especially revealing because it shows the same pattern communities keep seeing with LifeWise:
Nobody can seem to give a straight answer about who brought it to the district.
That “confusion” is often the red flag. 🚩
LifeWise doesn’t usually arrive through open public conversation. It tends to come in quietly — through private outreach to sympathetic board members, superintendents, pastors, and church networks — until the groundwork is already laid and the public is just expected to catch up.
Then suddenly it’s:
“just being considered.”
“just an MOU.”
“just another option.”
And before families even know what happened, permission slips are going home in backpacks.
That is not transparency. That is how controversial programs get slipped under the public’s nose.
Parents and community members deserve clear answers:
Who initiated contact? Who met with whom? Which local churches or organizers are involved? Why was this moving forward before basic questions were even answered?
Public schools should not be used as a quiet entry point for private religious access to children during the school day.
If a program can’t survive transparency, it has no business being in public schools.
