What people are saying:

• Facebook User: Does LifeWise teach about ALL religions ?!?
  • Secular Education Association: Facebook User no. They claim to be non-denominational but are using curriculum called The Gospel Project – which is written by and for the Southern Baptist Convention.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User no only White relit
• Facebook User: So you are literally saying it is not ok for parents to approve their students taking a Bible course…which 100% privately paid for, off of school grounds?
  Who is the fascist?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User why do the schools have to subsidize your failure to prioritize religious instruction on your time? You have 5x the amount of time.
    Schools stopping education time affects everyone.
    No religion should be able to target students on school property using hunger or prizes to recruit.
    Finally, shouldn’t you care about who is teaching your kid off school property?
    Lifewise keeps hiring pedophiles that go to jail.
    We care enough to speak out.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User no problem with your scenario but do it before and after school. That’s the issue
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Why? There is all kinds of stuff being taught in schools that I completely disagree with, and I don’t even get a chance to opt out. If parents support it, then who are you to dictate what their kids do?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User why did you pick public then? That’s a choice.
    Can you explain how kids opt out of the targeting Lifewise does?
    The bullying?
    The ostracization?
    All THAT happens on school property.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User you do understand what privately means? They are receiving our tax dollars which isn’t private!
  • Facebook User: Facebook User because my tax payer dollars go to schools and there is a seperation of church and state. If it is important to the parents they can do it before and after school.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Your taxpayer dollars are not paying a penny towards that. The buses, facilities, teachers, bus drivers…100% is privately funded.

    There is literally no good argument to be made against it.

    Your kids don’t have to go and 0 tax dollars are used.

  • Facebook User: Facebook User administration time, lost education time, lunch resources if going at lunch. There’s plenty of arguments but you are being cowardly and won’t respond.
• Facebook User:
  • Facebook User: Facebook User oh they bribe them for Jesus in Lifewise.
• Facebook User: Absolutely NOT OKAY!
  • Secular Education Association: Facebook User we agree!
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Perfectly legal in Ohio. Get over it.
  • Secular Education Association: Facebook User so was public school segregation at one time. Doesn’t make it right. Get over it. 🙃
  • Facebook User: Facebook User sit down, Karen
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Free speech, bitch! Free speech.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User for now.
    The right case comes up and its McCollum all over again. 🤣
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Enjoy the brain drain, I guess.
• Facebook User: Sick grooming
• Facebook User: Had the pleasure to meet Rev. Charles Johnson in Ohio in 2024 when I talked to him about the dangers of Lifewise in Texas.
• Facebook User: What other mythologies are they teaching?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Lifewise only teaches inerrant, fundamentalist Christianity.
    While other religions can form programs for off campus instruction, none have the infrastructure and money that Christian Nationalists do.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User There’s nothing inerrant about fundamentalist Christianity. Or any other religion. They’re all mythology – stories men wrote down in an attempt to make sense of the universe.
• Facebook User: That’s unconstitutional
  • Facebook User: Facebook User sadly they misuse a 1952 ruling. Per Zorach v Clauson, a Release Time for Religious Instruction program has FOUR STANDARDS that must be met to be legal:
    (Lifewise ignores the last)
    A program must be:
    ☆ Off school property
    ☆ Not using tax payer resources or funds
    ☆ With written parental permission
    ☆ The school must do NO MORE than release- Zorach v Clauson: “If in fact coercion were used, if it were established that any one or more teachers were using their office to persuade or force students to take the religious instruction, a wholly different case would be presented.”
  • Facebook User: Facebook User I remember that happening when I was in elementary school
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Lifewise is to those programs what a local dive burger stand is to McDonald’s
• Facebook User: Run! Hide! Doom is upon us! oh no those awful christians, they rape and plunder and kill all of humanity. Be Scared be afraid of what they will do to the children,,oh the children we must protect the children from these awful human beings, oh the humanity!!
