Unmasking Government Schools with Sheri Few

Is your child's school truly neutral — or has the system been intentionally designed to undermine your family's values? In this episode of Unmasking Government Schools, Sheri Few sits down with Dr. Douglas Pietersma, researcher and contributor to the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI), to expose the philosophical and spiritual foundations beneath government schooling. Dr. Pietersma unpacks why the system cannot be reformed — and why the biblical mandate for parents to educate their own children has never been more urgent. In this episode: - Why 80–85% of children from Christian homes attend government schools — and the devastating correlation with faith abandonment - The myth of neutrality: how secular humanism functions as a state-sponsored religion inside the classroom - How legal doctrines like parens patriae and in loco parentis strip parents of authority the moment their child steps onto a school bus - The "frog in the pot" strategy: 170 years of gradual, intentional changes designed to produce a fully secularized system - Why government schools are not redeemable through reform — and what must replace them - Biblical foundations for home education: Deuteronomy 6, Ephesians 6:4, and the holistic development of children Dr. Pietersma brings both conviction and grace to this conversation, offering a framework for engaging other parents with truth rather than just winning arguments. If you've ever wondered whether homeschooling is truly the biblical path — or simply felt unease about what's happening inside government schools — this episode is for you.

The Smartphone Ate My Family," and founder of Media Talk 101 — to expose how unchecked screen time is fueling anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline in our children, and what parents can do about it.

In this episode, we’re joined by homeschooling advocate and author Israel Wayne to discuss government vouchers, private schools, and homeschooling. Drawing from his book, Education: Does God Have an Opinion?, Israel shares a biblical perspective on education, parental authority, and the growing debate over government funding in private education.

#faith #conservatism #parenting #freedom For years, the far left has espoused the many so-called benefits of allowing young people to transition.

#faith #homeschool #parenting #freedommachine A growing number of Christian families in the United States are aware of the dangers of government schools and want to homeschool. However, the decision to pursue home education can be daunting!

#faith #conservative #parenting #freedomforpalestine It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: having your child’s identity and well-being manipulated behind your back by a government institution. This is not fiction. It happened in Rhode Island, and it nearly cost a young lady her life. Here to walk us through the case and what it means for parental rights nationwide is Mike Stenhouse. Mike is a former Major League Baseball player who now leads one of the most dynamic policy organizations in the country, the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity. His team recently filed a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Education on behalf of “Jane Doe,” the girl’s mother, and is fighting to repeal the regulation that enabled this secret transition.
