Baptist 'exit strategy' means get kids out of public schools Groundswell of support building in 16 million member group for homeschooling By Bob Unruh WorldNetDaily.com Posted October 20, 2006
Excerpt: If you like sexually transmitted diseases, shootings and high teen pregnancy rates, by all means, send your children to public schools. That's the word from a leader in the fast-growing movement within the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention for parents to pull their children from those schools in favor of homeschooling.
The program is called Exit Strategy and Pastor Wiley Drake, whose home state of California has done some things especially offensive to Christians this year, is a leading promoter.

The catalyst is a diverse group of organizations working to encourage people to pull their children out of a public school system they see as increasingly hostile to their faith and values, incapable of maintaining a disciplined learning environment, and (perhaps most blatantly) incapable of doing the very thing for which it exists: educating students... WOW. What a great opportunity! Separation of school and state got a mention in dozens of major news outlets, including USA Today, CNN, The Boston Herald, and more!
by Tammy Drennan
Take them back from whom? The government? Other parents? The taxpayers? The teachers' unions? The textbook publishers? The special interests? The school boards? The religious community?
