With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

The 2020 pandemic disrupted the education of millions of kids and responds many parents

have opted for alternative forms of education.

In that single summer wrote Dixie Lane with the Institute for Family Studies, the number

of registered homeschoolers in America more than doubled from about 5.4% to about 11.1%.

Home schooling among African Americans alone jumped to 16%.

A five-fold increase.

Still, Lane argues the pandemic wasn't the only reason for this boom, and general Americans

are committed to two principles in education, localism, and parental authority.

The state overreaching K-12 education has brought parents back to those fundamental values.

Some are fighting to make public schools better, but others are investing in homeschooling

and private Christian education.

Either way, kids are rightly seen as the primary responsibility of parents and not the

state.

And more options mean more opportunity for Christians to not only love the Lord with

heart, soul, mind, and strength, but teach their kids to do the same.
