  Speaker 1: 90% of Christians allow our government to educate their children.
• 0:06
  We are losing somewhere between 70% and 88% of our
• 0:09
  children by the end of their freshman year in college.
• 0:12
  That's the children of evangelicals. Somewhere between 70% and 88%
• 0:15
  of them have nothing to do with spiritual things by
• 0:17
  the end of their freshman year in college. Now let
• 0:20
  me give you the easy answer before we go into
• 0:23
  a more detailed answer. The easy answer is this. If
• 0:27
  we continue to send our children to Caesar for their education,
• 0:30
  we need to stop being surprised when they come home
• 0:32
  as Romans. Luke chapter 6 and verse 40. A pupil
• 0:42
  is not above his teacher, but everyone, after he has
• 0:44
  been fully trained, will be like his teacher. From K
• 0:49
  through 12, children spend 14,000 seat hours in school. Let
• 0:55
  me say that again, 14,000. thousand seat hours in school.
• 0:59
  The average Christian family spends less than 30 minutes per
• 1:02
  week discussing spiritual matters. Parents who think that a few
• 1:05
  conversations centered around what did you learn today need to
• 1:10
  be honest about the usual answer to that question, which
• 1:13
  is nothing. There are three questions that we always get, okay?
• 1:20
  Number one, every homeschool family knows it is the question
• 1:23
  of questions that It is, if we have any homeschool
• 1:25
  families in here, I'm not even gonna say it. What's
• 1:27
  the question? What about socialization? Exactly, we get that, you know?
• 1:30
  And that's the easy one, all right? What about socialization?
• 1:34
  The other question is, is that legal? And the other
• 1:35
  question is, where do you get your curriculum? Who oversees
• 1:38
  your curriculum? Those are the three questions. Why does everyone
• 1:41
  ask the exact same three questions? Because everyone's been discipled
• 1:45
  by the same teacher. And the first question everybody asks is,
• 1:50
  how can you educate your own children? Why? Why? Because
• 1:56
  the system wants you to be a slave. I'm a
• 1:59
  free man. My children are mine, not wards of the state.
• 2:02
  The government has no jurisdiction over my children.
