South Carolina public schools are under attack. H.4757 is being sold as a “Parental Rights Act,” but buried in the bill is language that explicitly lists released-time religious instruction as a protected parental right. In other words, lawmakers are not just talking about parents in general. They are elevating school-day religious release inside a statewide… Read More

This is not a new fight. In 1875, President Grant called for public education to remain free from sectarian control and for church and state to remain separate. In 2026, that warning still matters. Public schools should belong to all children — not serve as a gateway for religious influence during the school day. View… Read More

This is how LifeWise talks about public schools and children. In this clip, a Washington State LifeWise representative and a supporter say the quiet part out loud.

This is the hypocrisy at the heart of LifeWise. You cannot scream about “indoctrination” in public schools and then turn around and support LifeWise. You cannot claim kids need more reading, more critical thinking, and more academic focus — while backing a program that pulls them out of instructional time for religious lessons.

Ohio lawmakers are pushing HB 304, a bill that would require 30 minutes of morning recess and 30 minutes of afternoon recess for K–8 students. That sounds like a win for kids. But in Ohio, districts are also required to have a released-time policy for off-campus religious instruction, and students can be excused during the… Read More

LifeWise Academy presents itself as a locally driven Bible education program. Our new video shows why SEA believes that story leaves out the bigger picture. Using public records, lobbying disclosures, testimony, and internal documents, we trace what appears to be a coordinated national effort to expand released-time religious instruction and weaken local school district control.… Read More

🚨TEXAS A LifeWise official just said the quiet part out loud. According to MySA, Aaron Braswell, LifeWise’s South Texas director, said districts may not even know a program is being developed until late in the process: “it’s usually not until the tail end of this when districts may even become aware.” The same article reports… Read More

The headline actually comes from the district’s own Superintendent Chronicle, an official publication of the school system. The article even states the program is “approved by each school’s principal,” which further… Read More

This article from Port City Daily is especially revealing because it shows the same pattern communities keep seeing with LifeWise: Nobody can seem to give a straight answer about who brought it to the district. That “confusion” is often the red flag. 🚩 LifeWise doesn’t usually arrive through open public conversation. It tends to come… Read More

🚨OHIO Ohio students need trained counselors, social workers, and licensed mental health professionals — not unlicensed volunteer chaplains inserted into public schools under the guise of “support.” Ohio House Bill 531 would allow chaplains with no educator license, no counseling certification, and no professional mental health credentials to minister to students in public schools. And… Read More
