Haha, thanks. Yeah probably Freudian as my opinion of public schools (and frankly parents who dump their kids in them without knowing what's going on) couldn't be lower.

We live in an excellent academic school district (one of the top in the state) and my kids did attend them for a while. (Elementary school didn't seem to be a problem back then though I wouldn't trust them now.) In the later grades my older son started coming home saying things like, "Jesus never actually said homosexuality was wrong in the Bible" and other obvious gay agenda talking points he was being fed by school staff. I was already extremely wary but that was enough for us. We pulled him out within two weeks once we had a sound biblical school lined up. His younger brother followed shortly.

People asked how we could do such a thing when the schools were so top tier (people fake their address to get into the district). Their new school was one-tenth the size of the public school and didn't have anywhere near the amenities of a prosperous school district. Plus tuition was never in our budget and we really had to tighten the belt (I drive a sixteen year old car that I fix myself and we don't take expensive vacations). But frankly none of that mattered, my wife and I knew we had to make a drastic change and felt compelled to do so. The Holy Spirit convicted us to step and and do what needed to be done.

It was one of the best decisions we ever made and I truly believe had we not intervened my son would be in a really ugly place right now.
