Christians called to abandon public education
Children's worldview determined by 14,000 hours in classrooms

You've heard all about the disputes: "Silent Night" banned at the "holiday"
program, artistic references to the Bible censored and faith-inclusive
children's programs facing discrimination.
Now some people are fed up with public school treatment of Christianity and
have launched a campaign calling for a rescue of kids from government
education programs - a "Call to Dunkirk."
http://www.exodusmandate.org/
The name Dunkirk is famous for the hundreds of thousands of World War II
allies saved in May 1940 when a flotilla of pleasure boats, fishing craft
and others rescued the soldiers from the beaches near Dunkirk, France, where
they were trapped by an advancing German army.
Author David J. Knowles, who wrote a book on the rescue that British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill called a miracle, said volunteers including boat
owners, fishermen - ordinary people instead of trained soldiers and sailors
- crossed the English Channel to effect the rescue of about 340,000 people.
Now, officials with Exodus Mandate
http://www.exodusmandate.org have
launched their "Call to Dunkirk" to advocate a departure from public
schools.
Several officials have created a YouTube video on their plan,

Organization chief Chaplain E. Ray Moore, a retired military officer, said
that at Dunkirk, "total disaster (was) averted by bold leadership and
ordinary citizens answering the call."
But he said in America, three-quarters or more of the Christian children,
"are trapped in the state-run public schools."
Bruce Shortt, the author of "The Harsh Truth about Public Schools,"
http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1683 said, "culture is shaped
by how we're educated."
"Why should we be surprised we're losing culturally and politically when we
continue to offer up our children as living sacrifices to the Molech of
government schools?" he said.

Voddie Baucham, Jr., author of "Family Driven Faith," noted children spend
about 14,000 hours in public schools.
"Whoever controls those 14,000 hours controls our children's worldview," he
said, citing Charles Francis Potter, a signer of the Humanist Manifesto. He
wrote, "What can theistic Sunday school meeting for an hour once a week do
to stem the tide of a five day program of humanist teaching?"
"The left knows that whoever controls the children owns the future. That's
why so many '60s radicals like Bill Ayers went into education. Now they
effectively control the government school system and its curriculum. But
worse, we give them our children," Shortt said.
Moore said his plan is simple:
"That all families, churches, pastors, major Christian ministries and
organizations, concentrate for one year on extracting Christian children
from the pagan, godless public schools."
"State-run public schools have become destructive to our children's
Christian faith. They no longer educate but rather indoctrinate. Not only
morally corrupt, public schools are unsafe because of the violence and crime
that occurs in them on a regular basis," the campaign says.
WND previously reported Moore's estimate based on statistics that 70 to 80
percent of Christian children "will abandon the church and their faith in a
Public school career."
