“My kids go to a great school where Christmas songs were sung and many teachers are Christians. I do not support such a move.”

A choice that you, as a parent, have a right to make for yourself and your own family.

However, the property tax system which funds government schools does not afford Christians the right to equitably direct our family resources to a non-government school (or home school).

The original 1836 version of the fabled reading instruction books which for three-quarters of a century were used by four-fifths of all American school children. Some 120 million sets were sold. No other books ever had so much influence over so many children over such a long period.

McGuffey Second Reader 1879
God is Great and Good
____________
1. I know God made the sun
To fill the day with light;
He made the twinkling stars
To shine all through the night.

2. He made the hills that rise
So very high and steep;
He made the lakes and seas,
That are so broad and deep.

3. He made the streams so wide,
That flow through wood and vale;
He made the rills so small,
That leap down hill and dale.

4. He made each bird that sings
So sweetly all the day;
He made each flower that springs
So bright, so fresh, so gay.

5. And He who made all these,
He made both you and me;
Oh, let us thank Him, then,
For great and good is He.
