🚨 This is not the first time we have seen this.

🚨 This is not the first time we have seen this.

Clovis/Curry County Chamber of Commerce’s account just amplified LifeWise Academy’s own religious messaging -not as “character education,” not as neutral community programming, but explicitly as children learning about “the Bible and Jesus” and growing in “faith.”

That’s unacceptable- the people normalizing LifeWise are not just random Facebook commenters.

They are on your school boards.
They are in your Chambers of Commerce.
They are in your local governments.
They are in your state governments.
They are sitting in positions of public trust while helping normalize a private religious program that pulls children out of the public school day for Bible instruction.

🚨This is how it spreads.

Not just through churches.
Not just through LifeWise buses.
Not just through glossy flyers and red shirts.

👉It spreads when trusted civic institutions treat religious recruitment during public school time like a harmless community activity.

👉It spreads when public officials and community leaders look the other way.

👉It spreads when people with power pretend this is just “character” while LifeWise openly says it is about the Bible, Jesus, and faith.

🚨That is the scam.

They use public school time.
They use public trust.
They use community institutions.

….And then they act shocked when people call it religious encroachment.
We are not shocked.
We are documenting it.

Public schools are not pipelines to private religious instruction.
Public institutions should not be marketing arms for LifeWise Academy.

  • Secular Education Association: 👇 Look beyond LifeWise.

    Check your local Chamber pages, school board members, city council members, county officials, state legislators, and school district communications.

    Are they promoting, endorsing, sharing, funding, or normalizing any private religious program targeting public school students during or around the school day?

    That includes LifeWise, “God Squad,” Bible release-time programs, church-run “character” programs, prayer campaigns, chaplain programs, religious clubs being promoted by adults, or anything being framed as “values” while clearly pushing one faith tradition.

    This is not isolated. This is a pattern.

  • Facebook User: Separation of church and state
  • Facebook User: Indoctrination starts in the schools, if this were an Islamic thing the same losers who are asking what the problem is would have a huge problem.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User truth!
  • Facebook User: Not sure how this is a negative. The kids are being taught about the whole alphabet soup of gay and gender queer stuff, I’d say this is a step in the right direction. Honestly, religion should be taught at home. That being said, so many homes are atheistic agnostic that the kids need exposure to it somewhere.
    • Secular Education Association: Facebook User So just to be clear: you think LGBTQ kids are “alphabet soup,” but your religion should get access to everyone else’s children during the public school day because too many homes are not religious enough for you?

      That is not “exposure.”
      That is indoctrination.

      Public schools are not mission fields. Children do not need to be pulled from class so private religious groups can “fix” the fact that some families are atheist, agnostic, secular, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, LGBTQ-affirming, or simply none of your business.

      Teach your religion at home. Take your kids to church. That is your right.

      But the moment you decide other people’s children “need exposure” to your beliefs through the public school system, you have made our entire point for us.

    • Facebook User: Ed N Lesley Bonnet gender queer 😂 fine, I’ll come to your kids school and teach them witchcraft. They need exposure to it somewhere.
    • Facebook User: Ed N Lesley Bonnet what a wholly ignorant and asinine statement that is devoid of any intellectual forethought, and gives no credence to our constitution. Keep your religion and its incestuous perversions at your own home.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User hasnt posted anything on his own page in 4 years. hacked bot account.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User https://www.wyso.org/2026-05-22/two-lifewise-academy-teachers-and-a-volunteer-charged-with-sex-crimes-against-children
    • Facebook User: Facebook User honestly these days I think the issue is that the schools are telling kids it’s up to them to find their identity and yet we know that the rate of suicide, I.e the expression of hopelessness, continues to climb. The identity needs to be in Christ or we will continue to see generations of people who struggle to find meaning
    • Facebook User: Isn’t Lifewise the pedo employer?
    • Facebook User: Secular Education Association so, you read my complete statement and decided this was the proper response? What part of “Honestly, religion should be taught at home”, didn’t you understand?
    • Facebook User: Facebook User you read what you wanted to in my statement, but don’t understand it at all. Try again. Facebook User
    • Facebook User: Facebook User what a great argument. Debate major were you?
    • Facebook User: Facebook User only friends get to see what I post, sorry detective.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User straw man argument. You can find pedos in many organizations. I know nothing about LW as a company.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User are you denying that the bible is not replete with incestuous perversions? How did Adam and Eve populate the planet? How did Noah repopulate it? How did Lots daughters get pregnant? That’s just 3 quick examples.

      Keep that filth in your own home. It has no place in a school.

    • Facebook User: Facebook User Thats weird because it shows me a bunch of your posts from 4 years ago and later.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User It is so simple separation of church and state.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User maybe the part right after that where you said “that being said, so many homes are atheistic agnostic that the kids need exposure somewhere.” Religion doesn’t belong in schools. Period.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User no I completely understand. Children should be able to access religion in schools as it is a ‘step in the right direction’. My reply related to just that.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User do you even hear yourself?? Telling children their only identity is in a mythical being no one actually knows to be true? What you’re explaining is conformity, full stop.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User you even hear yourself? Telling children their identity is whatever you want it to be based off of absolutely nothing other than a figment of their imagination because nothing matters? I’m all for conforming my children to have a belief in the God who created all this and not in some fake societal norms based on absolutely nothing other than mob law
    • Facebook User: Facebook User based off absolutely nothing? Your children deciding who they are and want to believe and not what you shove down their throats is nothing? Your religion is a fake societal norm so you can be kept in line and never question anything or think cognitively. And look, it works.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User reality is not up for decision or voting. It is or it isn’t, and everything coming from nothing makes 0 sense, never had, and never will. We at least build our societal norms off of the idea of a supreme being who is at his core good. You couldn’t define good if you wanted to. It’s only a construct of collective thought, fake. Your meaning, imagined. There is a line to be kept, yes, and when questions come, we have answers. Your assumption that there is no thought to this is outdated and played out.

      Just because atheists decided to try and wield science as the answer to everything, and ignorance was certainly rampant at times, doesn’t mean that nobody has ever done any looking into it who believes. Why don’t you ask Francis Collins, who was in charge of the human genome project what he thinks about theism. Why don’t you ask the multiple Nobel laureates in science who were also believers. That argument is tired.

    • Facebook User: Facebook User I know what good is, and you certainly don’t find it in a cult.

      I actually never said it came from nothing. I believe in a creator, I don’t believe in a man made God full of fallacies for a supposed infallible being. Wild of you to assume I’m atheist. You Christians really just regurgitate everything.

    • Facebook User: Facebook User considering the name of the group, and the fact that your arguing so vehemently, you might as well be one.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User which is why they shouldn’t be around children 😂😂😂. Don’t you think someone should know exactly who is taking care of children? You answered your own logic.
    • Facebook User: Facebook User shame on you. I CHOOSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS for a religion free upbringing. How DARE YOU say my kids should be “exposed” in schools.

      Every kid has every right to be religious or not.
      They should NOT be COERCED INTO IT.

      Also attributes aren’t a religion and every kid has a right to be seen authentically as themselves.

  • Facebook User: This was the reaction of a middle school counselor in Texas after receiving a letter from Facebook User. These people just can’t be reached. Hopefully one day they’ll realize they don’t have a choice.
  • Facebook User:
  • Facebook User: If Lifewise really cared about helping students grow in character and faith, the summertime when said students don’t have school, would in theory, be the perfect time to hold lifewise “classes”. They don’t do that because they can’t afford to indoctrinate students on their own dime. They can only function while stealing time and resources from public schools.
  • Facebook User: Here’s another https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18evJG1Azj/
  • Facebook User: Well now I’m going to LifeWise even harder
  • Facebook User:
  • Facebook User: And they just arrested a couple of people who used to work for life wise, who are sexual predators….hmmmm.
  • Facebook User: LifeWise Academy is like a cult. They use children by pulling them out of public school and send them back in to recruit their friends to the program. They are using children to recruit people into their religious cult, indoctrinating them as young people. Public Schools need to be safe places for our young people, not recruiting grounds for Christian Nationalism, and hate mongering of LGBTQIA+.
  • Facebook User: Weren’t some Lifewise employees just arrested for child s___l abuse?
