55,000 hours is not a success story. It is a public school disruption report.

In this video, they say their classes have exceeded 55,000 hours..

That is not a tiny after-school Bible club.

That is tens of thousands of hours of children being pulled out of the public school day for religious instruction.

And the public still does not have a clear accounting of what that means.

How many students?
Which grades?
Which schools?
Which class periods?
Core instruction? Specials? Recess? Lunch?
How much staff time?
How much scheduling disruption?

That is the issue.

LifeWise wants the benefit of public school access without the burden of public accountability.

But when a program is built around removing students from public school during the school day, the public has every right to ask what it is costing our schools.

Not just in dollars.

In time.
In staffing.
In disruption.
In lost instruction.
In pressure placed on educators and districts.

55,000 hours is not a flex.

It is a warning sign.


What people are saying:

  • Secular Education Association: 55,000 hours is not just a LifeWise talking point. It is a public school transparency issue.

    Parents, educators, taxpayers, and communities deserve to know when students are being pulled, what instructional time is being missed, and how much public school staff time is being used to coordinate it.

    If this is happening through public school systems, the public deserves answers.

  • Facebook User: This is a blatant attempt to push Christian nationalism into public schools.
  • Facebook User: Lifewise is just legitimized brainwashing…trying to grow future Christian Natiinalists. They need to stay away from public schools.
  • Facebook User: Anyone else think of the pharmacy scene from no country for old men when you see their buses?
  • Facebook User: Are they required to release curriculum?
    • Facebook User: Facebook User the settlement reached requires them to allow anyone who requests it for 48 hours.
  • Facebook User: Ok. NOW, let’s do a study that shows all of the time devoted to social engineering in public schools for LGBT related “understanding” or “social justice” initiatives or any other social engineering goal embraced by the public school system. Public schools should be about academics only with no social engineering included.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User I would guess there is very little if any time given to social engineering as you call it. As a former teacher, time was given daily to model and coach positive problem solving skills with other humans, using respectful language. Of course we teach that all living things deserve respect.
  • Facebook User: fuck you lifewise.
