This is my 6th year of homeschooling my children. My oldest started 9th grade this year and started attending our public high school. He may not stay there for the whole year. In the few short years that we were out of the public school system - it seems like things have gotten worse. The liberals have slowly taken control of our schools and it's been so gradual that Christians have not noticed.

We watched the movie "Expelled" last night and Ben Stein interviewed several professors who basically said the same thing - their faith eroded after learning evolution in college. More and more - evolution is being taught in our middle and high schools as a fact. Intelligent Design isn't given the same amount of teaching time - if any at all. If Intelligent Design is mentioned - it's with a roll of the eyes and the implication that it's a belief for "nutty" Christians.

One professor interviewed had a history of brain tumors and said that he used to have a Christian faith, but when he learned the "truth" of evolution from his teachers and textbooks - he realized "there is no such thing as life after death, no such thing as morality, no such thing as free-will, no such 'thing' as God." He said that if his brain tumors came back he would shoot himself in the head, because "this life" is all there is. This wasn't a crazed drug addict. This was a professor teaching in a university.

If we're still here in 5 years - I believe we'll see the freedom to homeschool our children taken away.
