Grading The School Boards

In this fiery episode of The Compass, hosts Rick and Debbie dive deep into the critical role of school boards in shaping our children's education and the values they uphold. With tensions running high, Rick passionately expresses his concerns about the lack of church involvement in local elections, particularly school board races. He highlights the alarming statistic that often, only a small fraction of registered voters participate in these elections, leaving the future of our children's education in the hands of a few. Debbie emphasizes the power of the church to influence these races, noting that just one engaged congregation can swing the vote. They discuss the importance of understanding candidates' positions on key issues such as curriculum choices, bathroom policies, and the impact of local school boards on taxpayers. As they navigate through the complexities of school board elections, they urge listeners to get involved, whether by voting, running for office, or supporting organizations like iVoterGuide that provide essential resources for informed decision-making. This episode is a clarion call for Christians to rise up and take action in their communities, ensuring that the next generation is educated with a biblical worldview. Join Rick and Debbie as they explore the intersection of faith, civic duty, and the urgent need for church engagement in shaping the future of education.
