amazing that only doug (via his publishing "house") has the ability

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In the aftermath of the
Obergefell decision by the Supreme Court, a lot of
Christian parents are reeling. They know they must
do something, but what can they do? The decision was
so high-handed, so arbitrary, so insolently
rendered, that it would be easy to assume that there
is nothing we can do about it down here at street
level.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">But this is false. There is
are many steps we can take, and some of the first
ones are steps we <em style="box-sizing:border-box;">must</em> take. Here is one that
millions of parents could take in just a small
number of weeks — they could pull their kids out of
the government school system.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The necessity of doing this
has been growing increasingly obvious every year,
and now the need for it is open, manifest, and
pretty much on fire. What can Christian parents <em style="box-sizing:border-box;">do</em>? If their
kids are already receiving a Christian education,
they can be encouraged and stand fast — and they can
use the opportunity to openly appeal to Christian
friends who still have their kids in the government
school system. And if they themselves still have
kids where their kids ought not to be . . . well,
this is the perfect opportunity to bolt. If anybody
asks why, a reasonable answer would be anything in
the neighborhood of “fire on the mountain, run,
boys, run!” This is the reason why all government
schools have panic bars on their doors. That <em style="box-sizing:border-box;">clattery shuttery</em> sound
you hear is thousands of evangelicals hitting the
sidewalk.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">There are two reasons for
this step, given this Extreme Court decision. If
your children remain in the government schools,
there is now no legal way for them to be taught any
normal view of human sexuality. And, depend upon it,
they <em style="box-sizing:border-box;">will</em> be
taught the other kinds. And second, they will be
taught an approach to civics that sees nothing wrong
with the Supreme Court’s juridical putsch here, and
that is just as worrisome.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Here are some books that
might be able to help. The first two are books that
argue for the need for explicitly Christian
education. The last two argue for the classical and
Christian forms of it, but contain sections that
will be helpful in under-girding our understanding
of how all education is inherently religious, and
therefore must be Christian. Just click on the
covers.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;"><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So take up these books, and
leg it out of there. As the great Augustine once
heard, “Tolle, leg it.”</span></p>
