Those children who have been subjected to Leftist propaganda in schools in decades past are today’s Millennials – the group of voters that Moore says would have put 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the White House … if it were not for older generations tipping the ballot scales for her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
Renowned pro-family advocate Dr. James Dobson is inciting Christian parents across the United States to pull their children from public schools and protect them from the progressive anti-Christian teaching by homeschooling them and putting in church-run schools.
The founder and president of Family Talk says he is “shocked” by the declining values held by the generation of young American adult voters (18 to 34-year-olds) – Millennials who have been promoting the immoral agenda they have learned over years and decades past … one that works to erode the Christian faith of today’s youth, according to a WND report.
When recently speaking with Exodus Mandate Director E. Ray Moore, Dobson discussed the topic of homeschooling, which was just a trace movement in the tens of thousands back in the 1970s when he founded Focus on the Family. But now, the homeschool movement has grown to more than 2 million children – with some estimates, such as one given by the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) indicating that the number could be as high as 4 million.
Dobson says schools have gotten much worse in indoctrinating children in a godless, anti-Christian agenda disguised in progressive curricula found in public education.

“That shocked me,” the influential Christian shared, taking into consideration Clinton’s numerous scandals and extremist platform on abortion and LGBT.
He then alerted Christians that Leftists are winning over the next young generation of Americans.
“They [have] been propagandized and given a philosophy that – in many cases – is contrary to Scripture and what we believe,” Dobson told Moore.
It is argued that Christians are losing their foothold in society because they have given their youth over to Leftists in the education system who aggressively undermine the teachings of the Bible in the name of “tolerance,” “science,” and so-called “multiculturalism.”

We first heard of homeschooling on a 1985 or 1986 Focus on the Family program in which Dr. Dobson interviewed Dr. Raymond Moore (http://www.moorefoundation.com/article/23/about-moore-home-schooling/moore-foundation/history-of-moore-academy/death-of-raymond-moore). We attended a day-long video seminar hosted by Dr. Moore's daughter and another by Gregg Harris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_Harris), both in 1986. The long and short of it is that we homeschooled our munchkins "K-12".
Homeschooling is not an easy thing. While not burdened with time overhead stuff built into PSs' one-size fits-all mass instruction, homeschooling pretty much means a family will be single income, plus or minus something part-time supplemental. Homeschooling also means one-on-one instruction; kids can't be plopped in front of the TV or computer to watch videos all day. OTOH, teaching your child, day by day, how to read and watching the "light bulb" go on and get brighter every day is a really cool experience!
The, "What about socialization?" meme is a straw-man red herring. It assumes, unrealistically, that PS "socialization" is universally positive. Ummmmm ....... no. It assumes, unrealistically, that homeschooling parents keep their kids indoors 24x7x52. In the real world, homeschooled kids go to church, participate in sports through Little League and other community sports leagues, and participate in groups like Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Trail Life. Within the homeschooling community there are support groups that have weekly park days and regular field trips (homeschooled kids have to be taught how to stand in line somehow!), sports leagues, and choirs. Granted, we live in Silicon Valley (population 1.5-2 million) but we had to pick and choose our kids' out of the house activities.
The only homeschooling parent I ever "met" (online discussion forum) whose kids were isolated was a woman who did not want her kids around "Fundamentalist" (she used the term as a broad-broom epithet, not to identify, accurately, a particular variety of Christian) Christians or school-at-home (duplicating a school classroom in the home, with equipment, textbooks, etc.) homeschoolers. IOW, despite living in Orange County, California, near millions of people, her rather bigoted choices isolated her children.

One plans not to have children, one intends to homeschool if (s)he has children, and we don't know if the third intends to marry. One has a BS in Business from a California State University college, one has "some college", and the third is attending a university in China.
