Most homeschoolers could have told you this agenda was being pushed forward. The educational system in America is constantly trying out every new method that comes down the pike. All of these methods continue to fail because they focus on social outcomes and not educational outcomes. If God is not allowed in the education of children, then they will continue to be lost. The reality is that we, as Christians, must make tough choices and sacrificies to change the tide or it will inevitably overwhelm us as a sea. We must stand together to defeat laws that change authority over children from parents to the state. Homeschoolers know this threat all to well. We are constantly fighting to educate our children in freedom from the government. Hopefully, people will continue to read, view, and be active in the events that surround and confront them. That is my prayer.

'Just another (of many) reasons to keep on homeschooling. Too many Christian parents aren't taking seriously the fact that God is going to hold us, as parents, not government schools, accountable for the education and training of our children.

Just one more excellent reason to homeschool! I wish there were more Christians who would pay attention to what is going on in the government school system, instead of just blindly sending their kids in, because it's the "American way." Let's remember that God put us, the parents, in charge of our children's education, and we ONLY are accountable for our stewardship of these blessed gifts He's given us.

Perhaps I'm just the odd man out, but I knew in 9th grade what I wanted to do for a career, and I'm doing it today, 20 years later. Although I was administered various career assessments, no one pushed me into my choice - in fact, the career assessments (as well as other people) tried to guide me in other directions. I believe my knowing in 9th grade what I wanted to do kept me from following those recommendations and possibly ending up in a career not suited to me.

Thank you! This article really gave me food for thought. I've never really agreed with the way alot of things are done in public schools. Granted, I've never attended one (I attended a Christian school.), but my parents' and my own tax dollars pay for them, so I try to keep myself informed of what's going on. I do think it is extremely ridiculous that students HAVE to state their career/college intent during ninth grade. Most ninth graders care more about who they are dating and what they are wearing than what college or career they will choose. I know I changed my mind MANY times before I finally chose what to do with my life. I do think, though, that college/career education has its place right along-side general education. I know I wish I had received more knowledge about different careers and such paths when I was in high school. I think government schools should educate students about different choices and offer the pathway for those who KNOW for certain what they want to do with their life. They just should not force anything on the students. Let the students choose for themselves, WHEN THEY ARE READY. America would be a much better place if more people chose their career because they were HAPPY with what they were doing, rather than the position, power, or salary they would be receiving.

How are students supposed to find out which career is best for them?
Being forced at any age to decide from numerous career choices, without knowing what activity they entail and what the requirements are, is generally unfair and unhelpful.
While early professional tests on inclination and skills narrow down the choices, an approach must be found for real life experience by summer or part-time internships or mentorships.
Forget government edicts.

This article was ASTOUNDING!! Though I didn't know about Gov Jeb Bush's latest move demanding that 9th graders declare their majors,I had noticed the strong trend to train-to-work. I didn't give much thought to it, UNTIL THIS ARTICLE. WOW... you cleared the air.

The article, of course, is correct. The problem is that too many Christians thought that pulling out of society and closing their eyes to what many Americans were telling them -- including Mr. Howse YEARS AGO!
Those who say they didn't know of this or that current LATEST evidence of a years' long implementation of the plans of the Change Agents, have themselves to blame.
Too many Christians read only Christian news and views and think that that's all there is.
What there "is" has been steadily implanted in EVERY ASPECT of society for decades now, in ways that reach those who never hear the truth of what has been done and who has done it.
It's all well and good to cluck in appreciation for someone pointing out the problems for the umpteenth or hundredteenth time in decades. But, those who clucked all along never went beyond the clucking and left it all to those who were writing books or selling videos that were seldom seen in venues where people should have seen them and helped to spread the word.
We all are now reaping the harvest of letting a generation or two be trained to help with the agenda of taking apart the country.
Many good people have warned for years. More other good people have thought it was all taken care of because someone was watching and warning.

Thank You Mr. Howse for writing your article USA Schooling the Communist way. It has addressed an issue which I have been concerned about for some time now. There is a movement in education through government mandates to make each student carbon copies of eachother. This is opposed bt Biblical thinking which each individual is uniquely precious in His sight. Origionality and personality is being driven out of our children in the name of "equality". I have nothing against equal opportunities for all but we should never forget that God has unique calls on each of our childrens' lives and a cookie cutter approach to education denys our children access to pieces of their own God given makeup. Railroading children into a specific carer path impedes personal growth and manipulates who the future learers will be.
