This didn’t become a public issue by accident. Parents were sounding the alarm about LifeWise Academy back in 2021—long before most people were paying attention.

You do not have to dig through every page of curriculum to understand the problem. This weekend, LifeWise programs took students to the Ark Encounter. The exhibits speak for themselves:young-earth creationism presented as fact,and theological messaging about judgment, death, and salvation presented to children as truth. And it does not stay there. Kids bring those… Read More

They call it “parental rights.” But what happens when those “rights” come at the expense of other children? Public schools are not a vehicle for one belief system. Every child has the right to a neutral education. What people are saying: Secular Education Association: Children have rights too. That includes the right to a neutral… Read More

Connecticut may currently show 0 LifeWise schools. But 193 of 200 districts have already been targeted. That should get people’s attention.

It means much of Connecticut is already somewhere in… Read More

California should be paying attention. LifeWise currently shows just 1 school in the entire state. But 1851 of 1976 districts have already been targeted. Let that sink in. This is how expansion works. Not all at once. Not everywhere at the same stage. But quietly, steadily, district by district. According to LifeWise’s own district step… Read More

You may not know this, but Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)showed up when SEA was in a legal fight over making the LifeWise Academy curriculum public. That is one reason we signed on to a coalition letter opposing California A.B. 1709. And for us, that is not just a policy position. It is personal. Back in… Read More

Rev. Mara Bim said it plainly: public schools are not Sunday schools. And what is happening in Texas is not happening in isolation. Across the country, we are seeing growing efforts to push religion further into public education through curriculum, policy, and school-day programming. The names and strategies may vary by state, but the pattern… Read More

That means this is not a small local issue.It is not random.It is not isolated. It is a statewide expansion pipeline. By the… Read More
