🚨 Indiana – Tippecanoe Valley LifeWise LifeWise Academy is taking 4th–5th graders off campus during the school day to a church, where children begin each session by reciting the Christian Flag Pledge. 👀 That alone is troubling for a program that claims to be “non-sectarian” and “just character education.”But what stands out even more is… Read More

We are deeply concerned by a recent LifeWise Academy promotional post that publicly identified a child as being on the autism spectrum and used her disability-related traits as part of a religious testimonial.

🚨TEACHER REPORT🚨 A public school counselor is running a “Jesus and Donuts” program before school — using the school intercom to promote it, sending staff-wide emails about his ministry during the school day, and even selling “I ❤️ Jesus” lanyards on campus to fund events. The teacher who sent this in is terrified to report… Read More
