Keeping the Porch Light on in a Dark World
“Without minimizing their strong biblical base, Sunday schools in America expanded their educational emphasis to fill the educational vacuum before the establishment of public education. By 1859, the Sunday school movement had provided three-fifths of the libraries in America.”

Ever hear this? “Don’t you want your kids prepared for the real world?” “How are your children socialized?” “Aren’t you overprotecting your children?”
So here’s what some public schools have to offer in the way of teaching about the real world, socialization, and protection.
In the real world, you will never feel excluded because there are no exclusive friendships!
The school will protect your children! Well, protect your children from your stupid, outdated religious values.
And home is the best place for socialization.
And remember, when asked these questions be sure to ask for a definition of socialization, protection, and real world.
