The Weekly Sam: Ten Reasons Why Christian Parents Should Take Their Children Out of Public Schools By Samuel L. Blumenfeld

Published April 29, 2025 | By Hal Shurtleff

There has been much debate of late among Christians whether or not their children
should be taken out of the public schools and put into private Christian schools or
homeschooled. I firmly believe that they should be taken out, and I’ve outlined ten good
reasons why this should be done, and done as soon as possible.

The first reason is pretty obvious. The Bible commands parents to bring up their
children in the love and admonition of the Lord. We read in Deuteronomy 6:6: “And
these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach
them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”
How can a Christian parent obey that commandment and put a child in a school that is so
militantly anti-Christian and anti-God? The public schools represent the antithesis of a
Godly education. They should not be patronized by Christians.

 Reason two: The public schools are not only anti-Christian but represent a government
establishment of religion called Humanism. Your child is at risk of being deChristianized
by the religion of public education. Here’s what humanist John J. Dunphy wrote in the
Humanist magazine of January 1983:

“I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in
the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as
proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects
the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers
must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist
preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead
of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of
educational level-preschool day care or large state university. The classroom
must become an arena of conflict between the old and the new-the rotting corpse
of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of
humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized
Christian ideal of ‘love thy neighbor’ will finally be achieved.”

We already know that millions of Christian children have lost their faith because they fell
prey to humanist proselytizers who preach that God does not exist and that human beings
can be as gods. Do you have any guarantee that your child will be immune from these
lies?

 Reason three: The educators have redefined the purpose of education. Its purpose is no
longer to impart academic skills so that your child can develop independent intelligence,
and make a life for himself. The new purpose of education was defined by Professor
Benjamin Bloom in his book, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, published in 1956, in
which he wrote:

“By educational objectives, we mean explicit formulations of the ways in which
students are expected to be changed by the educative process. That is, the ways in
which they will change in their thinking, their feelings, and their actions …. The
evidence points our convincingly to the fact that age is a factor operating against
attempts to effect a complete or thorough-going reorganization of attitudes and
values …. The evidence collected thus fur suggests that a single hour of classroom
activity under certain conditions may bring about a major reorganization in
cognitive as well as affective behaviors.”

As a Christian parent you will never know-and you will never be told-when that single
hour of classroom activity will be sprung on your child. The child who returns home
from school that day, may not be the same child you sent to school that morning. You’ve
played Russian roulette with your child’s spiritual life, and you’ve lost. In addition, this
change of values between children and parents inevitably leads to intense conflict within
the family. When children adopt humanist values, they become haters of their family’s
biblical values. That’s what destroys so many Christian families.

 Reason four: Public schools now teach sex education almost as a form of pornography,
encouraging children to engage in premarital recreational sex. The result is that many
Christian girls have lost their virginity, developed sexually transmitted diseases, become
pregnant, had an abortion, and lost their self-esteem. The boys, under peer pressure, are
forced into sexual intimacy long before they are ready to be fathers. The children are
considered animals with no control over their sexual urges.

Reason five: Drug education arouses interest in drugs, especially when the children are
told that they must make their own decisions about drugs. This gives children a choice,
which any Christian parent would consider the wrong thing to do. There is no decision
making when it comes to drugs. A Christian child need not know all about drugs. All he
needs to know is that drugs are unequivocally forbidden. But that’s not the message
conveyed in the public schools. The result? Many Christian children get into drugs and
become hooked.

 Reason six: As you know, we are presently involved in a life-and-death cultural war
between Christianity and secular humanism. When you patronize the enemy’s
institutions you are giving tacit approval of what that institution stands for. In addition, if
you have any understanding of the forces that oppose us, you know that they have
billions of dollars with which to fight us. So why give them your children? If you want
to win this war, the easiest, least bloody way to win it is by withdrawing your children
from their institutions. They cannot succeed without your children. It’s as simple as that.
So by giving them your children you are helping them tie the noose around the neck of
Christianity.

Reason seven: It is unreasonable to expect Christian children to be missionaries in the
public schools when they have not had professional training, are unable to answer the
arguments of their enemies, gain the contempt of their teachers, and become demoralized
in the process. You can’t expect children to do the job which even adults find difficult.

 Reason eight: Satanists in the public schools have targeted Christian students for
persecution and even murder. That’s what took place at Columbine High School in
Littleton, Colorado, and also in a school in Paducah, Kentucky. In other words, Christian
children are at risk in public schools where Bible reading and prayer are outlawed, but
Satanism isn’t. Satanists have free reign in the public schools and your child may
become a victim of their evil force.

 Reason nine: Children in the public schools are considered to be animals, because the
behavioral psychology that now governs public education is based on the theory of
evolution which claims that human beings and monkeys have a common ancestor.
Humanist behaviorists use animal training techniques to teach your precious child who
was made in the image of God. But the schools teach your child that he or she is simply
a higher form of monkey. When children accept the notion that they are animals, they are
apt to act as animals, without conscience, without a sense of moral absolutes.

 Reason ten: Because of widespread educational malpractice in the schools, your child is
in danger of becoming learning disabled, dyslexic, or afflicted with attention deficit
disorder. Your child is in danger of becoming functionally illiterate. At least thirty
percent of the children in public schools emerge at the end of the process unable to read
properly, spell correctly, or do basic arithmetic. Do you have a guarantee that your child
will not be a victim of this educational malpractice?
I’m sure that I could come up with many more reasons. But these ten I hope will give
Christian parents enough food for thought so that they will make the right choice in favor
of God’s commandment. The public schools cannot be saved by Christians. Nor should
Christians want to save them since they have been rendered morally dangerous by
Supreme Court decisions and the likes of the National Education Association.
By withdrawing your children from the public schools, you will be making your own
declaration of independence from the satanic institutions that the public schools have
become. You will be exercising the precious freedom you still have to take control of
your children’s education. And by doing so, you will be preserving the heritage of
freedom to pass on to your children, and your children’s children.

 Camp Constitution celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington

Published April 21, 2025 | By Hal Shurtleff

 

Camp Constitution celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington this past weekend April 18-19. We started with our 3rd Annual Homeschool Overnight at the Lane House, located a few blocks from the Green, where attendees observed the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere which ended at the original Hancock-Clark House where Sam Adams and John Hancock were staying when Paul Revere warned them that the “regulars” not the British were coming.”  We returned to the Lane House for a few hours of sleep before walking down to the Lexington Green to watch the reenactment of the Battle of Lexington.  This was the first year that VIP viewing passes and media credentials were few and far between.  As a result, we didn’t get a good video of the event, but here is a link to last year’s reenactment:

After the reenactment, we went back to the Lane House for a hearty breakfast and a few hours’ sleep before getting our float ready for the Lexington Parade.

(Hancock-Clark House Lexington)                  (Some of our attendees in front of the Lexington Library)

The Parade Committee would not allow those with floats to hand things out to the on-lookers during the parade, but we did manage to pass our pocket copies of the U.S. Constitutions and information to those stopping by our float prior to the parade.  Many took pictures of the float with our banners. A lady from Finland hoping to become a U.S. citizen thanked us for our efforts but lamented that most Americans know little about our Constitution.  Another woman from Thailand who is a naturalized citizen shared the same sentiments.

Thanks to all who attended and helped out.  A special thanks to Dennis Pierson for lending us his trailer,  Pastor  Steve Barberadt of the Black Robe Regiment  http://www.blackrobereg.org/    for the use of his truck and marching in the parade, and Jonathan Swartz for his shuttle services.

Composer George Frederick Handel quoted Job chapter 19 in his masterpiece Messiah, 1742: “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”

George Washington Carver made comments on divine inspiration, after which he was criticized by a New York Times editorial, November 20, 1924.

Rev. Lyman Ward sent him an encouraging letter, to which George W. Carver replied, January 15, 1925:

 

“My dear Bro. Ward, Many, many thanks for your letter of Jan. 4th. How it lifted up my very soul, and made me to feel that after all God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform.

I did indeed feel very badly for a while, not that the cynical criticism was directed at me, but rather at the religion of Jesus Christ. Dear Bro. I know that my Redeemer liveth.”

A Proclamation of Congress, 1778, quoted by Thomas Jefferson, as Governor of Virginia, and George Washington, as Commander of the Continental Army, stated:

“Above all, that he hath diffused the glorious light of the Gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer, we may become the heirs of his eternal glory.”

In an Easter address in St. Peter’s Square, April 1, 1956, Pope Pius XII stated:

“This year’s celebration of Easter should be primarily a recall to faith in Christ, addressed to people who, through no fault of their own, are still unaware of the saving work of the Redeemer;

to those who, on the contrary, would wish to have His name wiped out of the minds and hearts of nations;

and finally, in a special manner, to those souls of little faith who, seduced by deceptive enticements, are on the point of exchanging the priceless Christian values for those of a false earthly progress.”

James Logan was Secretary for William Penn, and Chief Justice of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, 1731-39. He stated:

“Remember thou art called after the immaculate Lamb of God, who, by offering Himself a sacrifice for thee, atoned for thy sins …

 

Borrowing one hour from the sleep of sluggards, spend it in thy chamber in dressing thy soul with prayer and meditation, reading the Scriptures …

Remember that the same enemy that caused thy first parents to forfeit their blessed condition, notwithstanding the gate is now open for restoration, is perpetually using his whole endeavors to prevent thee from attaining this, and frustrate to thee the passion of thy Redeemer.”

 

Elias Boudinot was President of the Continental Congress, 1782-83, a U.S. Representative, 1789-95, where he helped frame the Bill of Rights, and Director of the U.S. Mint under Washington and Adams, 1795-97.

 

Boudinot became a genuine Christian during the Great Awakening, and was baptized by Rev. George Whitfield. He helped found the American Bible Society, stating in New Jersey, July 4, 1783:

“No sooner had the great Creator of the heavens and the earth finished His almighty work, and pronounced all very good, but He set apart … one day in seven for the commemoration of His inimitable power in producing all things out of nothing …

 

The deliverance of the children of Israel from a state of bondage to an unreasonable tyrant was perpetuated by the Paschal (Passover) Lamb, and enjoining it on their posterity as an annual festival forever …

The resurrection of the Savior of mankind is commemorated by keeping the first day of the week …

Let us then, my friends and fellow citizens, unite all our endeavors this day to remember, with reverential gratitude to our Supreme Benefactor, all the wonderful things He has done for us, in our miraculous deliverance from a second Egypt–another house of bondage.”

Pilgrim Pastor John Robinson (1576-1625) wrote in his Leiden letter:

 

“This holy army of saints is marshaled here on earth … under the conduct of their glorious Emperor, Christ …

Thus, through the Blood of that spotless Lamb, and that Word of their testimony, they are more than conquerors, bruising the head of the Serpent; yea, through the power of His Word, they have power to cast down Satan like lightning; to tread upon serpents and scorpions; to cast down strongholds, and everything that exalteth itself against God.

The gates of hell, and all the principalities and powers on earth shall not prevail against it.”

 

John Milton Hay was private secretary to President Lincoln and ambassador to Great Britain under President McKinley. He negotiated over 50 treaties as Secretary of State, 1898-1905, including the Open-Door policy with China; the Panama Canal; the Alaskan boundary; and the Philippine policy.

John Milton Hay, who had worked at the New York Tribune, 1870-1875, published his poem:

 

SINAI AND CALVARY

But Calvary stands to ransom

The earth from utter loss;

In shade than light more glorious

The shadow of the Cross.

 

To heal a sick world’s trouble,

To soothe its woe and pain,

On Calvary’s sacred summit

The Pascal (Passover) Lamb was slain.

 

Almighty God! direct us

To keep Thy perfect Law!

O blessed Savior, help us

Nearer to Thee to draw!

 

Let Sinai’s thunder aid us

To guard our feet from sin,

And Calvary’s light inspire us

The love of God to win.

Philanthropist George Hay Stuart (1816-1890) was president of the U.S. Christian Commission, formed out of the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) in New York, November 14, 1861.

During the Civil War, the U.S. Christian Commission raised millions of dollars in private donations to provide supplies, hospital stores and clothing to the army and navy. Stuart helped distribute 30 million gospel tracts and New Testaments to the soldiers.

One of his workers was Dwight L. Moody, who later became a world renowned evangelist. Stuart personally gave Bibles to President Lincoln and President Grant after their Inaugurations.

George Hay Stuart stated:

 

“I have prayed for this Union; and I have labored for it, simply because I believed that it would bring glory to my blessed Lord and Master, Jesus Christ …

I have labored and prayed for it, because it would bring brethren together, now unhappily divided, to see eye to eye, that the nations that have so long bowed down to idols might learn of Jesus and Him crucified …

Since these twenty-four hours have passed away eighty-six thousand four hundred immortal souls have gone to the judgment seat of Christ …

I never hear the funeral bell toll without asking myself the question, ‘What have I done to point that departed soul to the Lamb of God that died to save a perishing world?’

Brethren, buckle on your armor for a great conflict; buckle it on for giving the glorious Gospel of the Son of God to the millions of the earth who are perishing for lack of knowledge.”

Charles Haddon Spurgeon stated in his sermon “The Leafless Tree,” March 8, 1857, New Park Street Chapel:

“If we read the Scripture’s aright the Jews have a great deal to do with this world’s history.

They shall be gathered in; Messiah shall come, the Messiah they are looking for, the same Messiah who came once shall come again, shall come as they expected him to come the first time.

They then thought he would come a Prince to reign over them, and so he will when he comes again.

He will come to be King of the Jews, and to reign over his people most gloriously; for when he comes Jew and Gentile shall have equal privileges, though there shall yet be some distinction afforded to that royal family from whose loins Jesus came; for he shall sit upon the throne of his father David, and unto him shall be gathered all nations.”

William Jennings Bryan, who was the Democrat Presidential candidate in 1896, 1900, and 1908, gave over 600 public speeches during his campaigns. His statue is in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall.

Bryan’s most famous being “The Prince of Peace,” printed in the New York Times, September 7, 1913, stating:

 

“The world had known love before … but Jesus gave a new definition of love. His love was as wide as the sea; its limits were so far-flung that even an enemy could not travel beyond its bounds.

Other teachers sought to regulate the lives of their followers by rule and formula, but Christ’s plan was to purify the heart and then to leave love to direct the footsteps …”

 

He continued:

 

“What conclusion is to be drawn from the life, the teachings and the death of this historic figure?

Reared in a carpenter shop; with no knowledge of literature, save Bible literature; with no acquaintance with philosophers living or with the writings of sages dead, when only about thirty years old He gathered disciples about Him, promulgated a higher code of morals than the world had ever known before, and proclaimed Himself the Messiah.

He taught and performed miracles for a few brief months and then was crucified;

His disciples were scattered and many of them put to death; His claims were disputed,

His resurrection denied and His followers persecuted; and yet from this beginning His religion spread until hundreds of millions have taken His name with reverence upon their lips and millions have been willing to die rather than surrender the faith which He put into their hearts …”

 

William Jennings Bryan concluded:

 

“How shall we account for Him? Here is the greatest fact of history; here is One who has with increasing power, for nineteen hundred years, molded the hearts, the thoughts and the lives of men, and He exerts more influence to-day than ever before.

‘What think ye of Christ?’ It is easier to believe Him divine than to explain in any other way what he said and did and was. And I have greater faith, even than before.”

In his Easter Message, April 2015, British Prime Minister David Cameron stated:

“The values of the Bible, the values of Christianity are the values that we need – values of compassion, of respect, of responsibility, of tolerance.

Now … you don’t have to be a Christian … to have strong values … but the point I always make is that it helps. We’re always trying to tell our children not to be selfish, but is there a better way of putting it than ‘love thy neighbor …'”

 

Cameron continued:

“We’re always telling our children to be tolerant … but is there a better way of explaining tolerance than saying, ‘do to others as you would be done by’?

It’s the simplest encapsulation of an absolutely vital value and the Christian church and the teaching of the Bible has put it so clearly.

We’re always telling our children that they must make the most of what they have; they must not waste what they have been given, and is there a better way of putting that than ‘don’t hide your light under a bushel, make the most of your talents.'”

 

Spanish King Felipe VI stated December 13, 2016:

“Europe needs … to be honest and respectful to both our common Judeo-Christian values and origins.”

 

Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl wrote in the foreword of the Hungarian translation of his book Out of Concern for Europe: An Appeal:

“Europe cannot be the new home for millions of people in need … (as many refugees come) from different cultural backgrounds.

They follow in significant part, faiths other than Judeo-Christianity, which is one of the foundations of our values and social order.”

 

British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge wrote in his 1975:

“As man alone, Jesus could not have saved us; as God alone, he would not; Incarnate, he could and did.”

President Donald Trump stated March 31, 2018:

“During the sacred holiday of Passover, Jewish families around the world give thanks to God for liberating the Jewish people from bondage in Egypt and for delivering them to the Promised Land of Israel. …

For Christians, we remember the suffering and death of God’s only Son and his glorious resurrection on the third day. On Easter Sunday, we proclaim with joy … Christ is Risen!“

Martin Luther declared:

“Our Lord has written the promise of the Resurrection not in books alone, but in every leaf in the springtime.”

George Washington’s tomb is engraved with the Scripture, John 11:25, where Jesus told Martha:

 

“I am the Resurrection and the Life; sayeth the Lord. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.”

We helped defeat an Article V Convention resolution and a “faithful delegate bill in New Hampshire.”  We are part of a nation-wide movement to protect the Constitution from an Article V Convention.  Thousands have read our articles, blogs and videos on the subject as well as downloaded our on-line resources.
