Colorado Education Association

For those of you that are more politically minded: check out the "political advice" given by the Colorado Education Association (a branch of the National Education Association) on their website - coloradoea.org. This is the organization that promotes public schools and supports (unionizes) teachers. I especially like the universal health care comparison - truly a pressing issue in education.

Christians can't use the bus . . .

Interesting and silly article about a public high school in Louisianna that denied the use of the school bus to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club. Nothing a little lawsuit can't fix . . . read here.

The Harsh Truth about Public Schools

Just finished a great read, The Harsh Truth about Public Schools, a book by Bruce Shortt. It calls for Christian parents to "stop sending your kids to be educated in the pagan seminaries that are government schools." It's definitely hard-hitting, but documented and footnoted with extreme accuracy. It's definitely a reformed theological approach - but if you believe that school shapes worldview, you'll want to read this book. I've listed the amazon listing here.

Expelled

Saw Expelled this weekend. Very interesting documentary. It won't satisfy those of us that like to defend creationism and tear down Darwinism, but it sticks to its purpose - to get Intelligent Design to even be considered in the secular progressive world of public academia.

Here's an early review!

Rev. Jeremy Jacoby (husband of our marketing director!)

God's love at work in one of our area Lutheran pastors - see the news story here!
It was also featured in Saturday's Denver Post in case you missed it.
Let's remember Jeremy and Jon in our prayers.

Too good not to post . . .

A fellow church worker and fan shared this one with me . . . too good not to post!

In Defense of Christian Education

I recently ran into a couple of cool websites that are dedicate to the promotion of Christian education. They aren't Lutheran-based, therefore some of the language is more "have to" than "want to" - but the persuasions are still solid. Check out: www.rescueyourchild.org or www.discoverchristianschools.com when you get a chance.

Interesting video about today's college students

I emailed this video, made by K-State students, to my faculty a few weeks ago. Interesting to say the least. Click here to view the video!
