• Facebook User: Lifewise Academy is Christian Nationalism.

  Lifewise Academy believes God sent them to reclaim the public schools. They claim the schools were previously owned by “the enemy.” Forget that the majority of Christians attend public school. Most religious and non-religious students and families attend public schools. Public schools are not owned by a single religion. Declaring that you are at war with the schools, families, and children is disgusting language.

  Lifewise Academy has been vocal, stating that its mission is to give parents the option for their children to attend a religious program during the school day. That is not the case. Their goal has always been to use the public schools as a mission field. Lifewise has pushed messaging that Christians “own” the schools. Now Lifewise appears to have a warfare strategy for taking the schools back. The words “battle” and “warfare” are repeated in the two videos. The last clip is from an interview Joel Penton did with Family Policy Alliance.

  The message is clear. The goal is clear. Take back schools for Christianity. Lifewise Academy and other religious groups routinely break the law by using the school system to push their programs on students. This is why. Lifewise believes it is at war with the schools. If you think public schools should be specifically for Christian students, keep supporting Lifewise Academy. If you think public schools should be places where people of all faiths or no faith can send their children, then speak up and tell the schools and your local legislators that Lifewise must follow the law. Lifewise is systematically changing laws in states across the country to force public schools to “collaborate” with it. This should be left up to families and individuals, not the schools.

  Lifewise thinks they own the schools.
