🚨 FLORIDA: LIFEWISE WANTS ACCESS TO YOUR CHILDREN. LET’S TALK ABOUT WHO’S DEMANDING IT.

Meet Amber Pennuto , director of LifeWise Academy Marion East. She’s publicly pressuring Marion County Superintendent Diane Gullett Brewer for refusing to provide the level of cooperation LifeWise wants.

Her message? “Time to armor up and press on.”

Well, Amber. Since you brought it up, let’s talk. Because your own Facebook posts tell quite a story.

👉 You founded a Turning Point USA Faith group, declaring that America is in moral decline because of insufficient Christian evangelism and involvement in public life.

👉 You helped advocate for the controversial Baby Olivia fetal-development video before the Marion County School Board, alongside the Christian Family Coalition.

👉 You’ve shared content calling public schools “indoctrination centers” and our government “godless.”

👉 You’ve described educational institutions as consumed by spiritual rot and condemned what you call “anti-Christian worldviews.”

👉 You’ve publicly made inflammatory statements about LGBTQ people, reproductive healthcare, and families who don’t share your beliefs.

AND NOW YOU WANT PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HELP YOU RECRUIT CHILDREN FOR YOUR RELIGIOUS PROGRAM?

But wait. It gets better. (Worse?)

Marion County School Board member Allison Campbell , who is ALSO president of the Florida School Boards Association, publicly acknowledged having multiple conversations with Pennuto about gathering student interest and planning LifeWise schedules.

County Commissioner Mike Crimi has been publicly thanked for donating LifeWise recruitment mailers targeting Belleview Middle School families. 👀

And LifeWise’s stated ambition is to expand to 14 schools within three years.

👉Meanwhile, Superintendent Brewer reportedly offered to handle religious-release scheduling with parents individually.

Apparently, that isn’t enough. LifeWise wants direct coordination between the public schools and its ministry.

READ THAT ONE MORE TIME.

A private religious organization whose local director publicly condemns the state of public education is now demanding that public education help facilitate its expansion.
And when the superintendent doesn’t cooperate to its satisfaction? They publish her photograph, call her out publicly, and announce they’re ready for battle.

THIS ISN’T RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. IT’S A PUBLIC SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT SETTING BOUNDARIES.

✅Parents have the right to seek religious instruction for their children.

🚫They do not have the right to demand that public school employees become the logistical support team for a private evangelical ministry.

And the public has every right to question why elected officials are helping advance that ministry’s interests. Here’s a question for Marion County:

If LifeWise’s own director believes public schools are morally corrupted indoctrination centers, why is she so determined to have those same schools help deliver children to her program?

And why is a superintendent who won’t give LifeWise everything it wants being treated like the enemy?

Superintendent Brewer owes LifeWise no special favors. And Florida families deserve answers about the relationships between this ministry and their elected officials.

You wanted to armor up, Amber?

The public deserves to see exactly what you’re fighting for.
