One good thing to come out of the shutdowns is that many parents have been awakened to what "secular" really means—anti-God! And, as a result of that awakening, as well as various mandates and schools reopening and shutting down throughout the year, plus other factors, Census data found that 11.1% of US households with school-aged children are now homeschooling. That’s double the number from before the pandemic!
That increase means there are about 2.6 million new homeschool students across the nation. A report also found that 8.7 million children have been pulled from a government-run school and placed in a private school, which includes many Christian schools.
It’s great that parents are waking up to the fact that being secular is not neutral—and those parents whose children remain in public school need to be well aware of that! Public (secular) schools are not neutral. They are not for Christ, so they are against. One either walks in light or darkness. There is no neutral position.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. (Matthew 12:30)

And if you are looking for a wonderful biblical worldview (a truly Christian) school to place your children, consider our Christian school, Twelve Stones Christian Academy in Northern Kentucky. At Twelve Stones, children are taught to think critically and biblically, rooted in the Word of God with academic excellence, and unlike many public schools, parents are actually informed of curricula choices! Some families have moved to our area so their children can attend Twelve Stones—and also be near the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions.
