Dr. James Dobson had more on removing our kids from the public schools on his 7\/8 and 7\/9 broadcasts<\/a>. I haven’t listened to them yet; I first have to download RealOne Player (2 hours on my dial-up). After I’ve listened I’ll try to summarize. One caveat- the files are only accessible for 30 days after original broadcast.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: I found that Windows Media Player will work so you don’t have to download RealOne Player.<\/p>\n

On 7\/8 Dobson rips the schools in CA and NY (as well as in several other states) for a perceived pro-homosexuality agenda. He later suggests Christian teachers who are required to be members of the NEA should quit the public schools. Then, in a fairly lengthy segment he goes off on Scholastic, Inc. for selling the book “Conversations with God for Teens”. The teenage version includes “absolute heresy” according to Dr. Dobson. Based on the quotes he reads, he’s right. At the end of the program, they promote a web-site for parents who cannot homeschool their kids: www.focusoneducation.com<\/a><\/p>\n

7\/9- Dobson starts off the program discussing political correctness\/activism among organizations catering to kids. He is upset that Big Brothers\/Big Sisters will no longer exclude a volunteer because of their sexual orientation. At this point he replays a segment of the show from 7\/8. If you listened to that one, skip ahead from 7:45 to 13:00. Scholastic then takes more hits for pushing Wiccan and New Age books in a catalog aimed at Christian schools. In Dobson’s mind, “Safe Schools” is equivalent to pro-homosexuality. According to Dobson, “Safe Schools” programs do nothing to prevent harassment of fat kids, or Christian kids, or anyone else other than kids who are believed to be gay. He believes that kids aren’t learning the basics because the schools spend too much time on PC activities. Dobson’s guest, education analyst Dick Carpenter is put on the spot. Dobson asked him if he<\/i> would pull his kids out and he punted- saying if his kids weren’t learning<\/i> he would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
