What the hell are we looking at here? A religious organization is recruiting current Philo 8th graders for a Biblical World View class that meets every school day for pass/fail credit — and they appear to be sitting inside a school building like this is just another normal elective. People are told this is just… Read More

ARIZONA: LifeWise currently shows just 2 school programs in the state. But all 659 districts in Arizona are already being targeted — along with additional charter and non-traditional schools.

We did this months ago, and it is still relevant. Especially with legislation moving forward. Our town hall, “Moralizing Poverty: The Truth Behind the Success Sequence,” took a closer look at the way the so-called “success sequence” is used to moralize poverty and shift attention away from the structural conditions that actually shape people’s lives.… Read More

ALASKA: LifeWise has already targeted most of the state. Right now, LifeWise shows just 1 active program in Alaska.

Second graders should not be acting out blood rituals during the school week. Yet here we are. This is what gets marketed to communities as “character education.” Young children painting symbolic blood on doors as part of a lesson about biblical plagues and death — then returning to their public school classrooms as if this… Read More

Department of Homeland Security what exactly is your job over there? National security or posting like a megachurch intern with federal login access? A federal agency is not a church.It is not a ministry.It is not your personal Easter devotional with a verified badge. Posting Bible verses and “He is Risen” from an official government… Read More

To everyone celebrating Easter, we wish you a peaceful holiday. Public schools still belong to all families. Religious freedom is protected best when schools remain neutral— not when one faith is centered, promoted, or treated as the default during the school day. Every child deserves a public school where they can learn without religious pressure,… Read More

ARIZONA Republicans are trying to force public schools to make room for off-campus religious instruction during the school day. Let’s call this what it is: a state-backed religious access bill. 👈🏻 SB 1741 is not about “freedom.”It is not about “choice.”And it is definitely not about public education.👀 🚨It is about forcing schools to accommodate… Read More

This is the scam: starve public schools, subsidize religious alternatives, then blame public schools for the damage. Taxpayer dollars are not a church offering. They should not be used to fund religious schools, religious doctrine, or the slow-motion privatization of public education under the banner of “choice.” People should be furious. https://www.facebook.com/share/18X8aF1xNe/?mibextid=wwXIfr What people are… Read More

COME ON Department of Homeland SecurityTwo in one day! The government is not a church. When federal agencies promote one religion, it undermines the religious freedom of everyone else. This is the same normalization strategy we are watching play out in public schools: blur the line, repeat it often enough, and hope people stop objecting.… Read More

Hey Department of Homeland Security-This is not acceptable. It never has been. It will never be. A government agency should not be posting explicitly Christian messages in its official capacity. And let’s be clear: this is the same problem we are confronting in our children’s public schools. When public institutions begin centering one religion, privileging… Read More

As Executive Director Molly Gaines said in the segment, public schools spend enormous time, effort, and money keeping campuses secure. Sending students off campus during the school day to an unsecured, unvetted location that… Read More
