Open Letter to Every Christian Parent with Children in Public School

I wrote this as a Facebook Note in 2016, when gender-neutral bathrooms were coming to public schools in the United States. I updated it slightly, but the core content is just as relevant today as in 2016.

Christian, is your child in a public school, now facing yet another wave of attacks on sanity and religious freedom? Will your daughter be using the restroom alongside a disturbed boy who "identifies" as a girl?

It's time to opt-out!

But, what can you do? You can opt-out! It may not be an easy choice, and some situations are harder than others, but there are incredible opportunities to give your children a Christian education, fulfilling Christ's command to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

I have dedicated my career to helping parents give their children a Christian and historic (meaning classical) education.

Through a publishing company I founded, Roman Roads Press, we provide Christian curriculum designed specifically for the homeschool.

Kepler Education is a new initiative that allows parents to tailor an online education to the specific needs of their family by picking highly qualified educators and classes, whether that's Calculus or literature class, or the full Diploma Track.

And there are a host of others providing all kinds of answers.

Let me name you just a few of my friends:

For homeschool:

Two I'm involved with:

- Roman Roads Press (grades 6-12 classical Christian curriculum).

- Kepler Education (grades 7-12, online classes from world-class independent educators with Diploma Track option)

And many other highly recommended resources:

- Classical conversations. (Highly recommended).

- Canon Pressand Logos Online School (all grades).

- Classical Academic Press (all grades, mostly 1-8th grade).

- Memoria Press (all grades, mostly 1-8th grade).

- Wilson Hill Academy (fantastic online school - 7-12).

- Well-Trained Mind Press (curriculum and help for parents)

- Kahn Academy (FREE instruction in many subjects - secular).

- Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool (free k-12 materials and curriculum).

- YouTube, your library, books, free curriculum, and countless support groups.

- And many more I’m forgetting or don’t even know about!

For Private schools:

- See Association of Classical & Christian Schools for a list of Classical Christian Schools.

- Look up Christian schools or homeschool co-ops in your area! Classical Conversations is in every state.

Can you not afford the education? There are ways: scholarships, talk to your church, or talk to me if you're interested in our curriculum or scholarship opportunities.

But please, Christian, opt-out. I will help you any way I can.

Sincerely,

Daniel Foucachon, Founder, Roman Roads Press and Kepler Education
