Christians called to mass exodus from public schools jan 1 2009
ritics of America's public school system have launched a new effort highlighting the need for Christians to exit the system.
The initiative -- dubbed The Call to Dunkirk (video link) -- was launched by Dr. Bruce Shortt, author of The Harsh Truth About Public Schools; Rev. Voddie Baucham, author of Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God; and the founder and director of the Exodus Mandate Project, retired U.S. Army Chaplain Lt. Col. E. Ray Moore.
Moore explains the proposal. "The Call to Dunkirk is a special
emergency effort to try to get other ministries, churches, pastors, and
the major Christian right and pro-family movement to join with us and
the other K-12 home-school ministries in rescuing the children from the
public schools during the year 2009," he says.

What's the primary reason most Christian parents
send their children to secular public schools
instead of opting for private or home schooling?
Although Christians have fought other aspects of the culture war such
as homosexual "marriage," Moore contends they are losing the fight when
it comes to the education of their children.
"The real target of the liberals and the left has always been the
children. And we can see in California where the conservatives won
Proposition 8 -- the vote [was] 52 to 48 [percent] -- but...when
Proposition 22 was voted on [in March 2000], they had a 61-percent
margin of victory. So the culture is turning against Christianity and
against the pro-family movement primarily because we've allowed our
children to be educated in their schools," he adds. "They're converting
our children; we're not converting them."
The Call to Dunkirk gets its name from the historical WWII event when
the Allied forces of England and France were run out of Europe, but
ordinary citizens rallied to their aid and used their own boats to help
more than 300,000 soldiers escape safely in order to return again on
D-Day.
