The Call to Dunkirk: Christian Exodus From Public Schools

This news item arrived in my inbox today from One News Now:

[Retired U.S. Army Chaplain Lt. Col. E. Ray] 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.

"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."

Interesting points are made (amid the provocative imagery) for pulling kids out for one year. While I am not a fan of public school policy and many other reasons, I wonder how realistic this movement is. A poll at One News shows almost 71% put their kids in public education because it's easier and less-expensive than private or home schooling. I believe more conservatives need to fill positions in public education and government to reverse the liberal damage done to the public school system. Both tactics would help, and pulling kids out en masse would send a stronger, faster message.

Thoughts?
