Education Wars: Raising Your Children in an Anti-Child Culture

Nov 26, 2018

The recent Victorian election has resulted in the most hardcore left-wing government in Australia being re-elected. Indeed, Premier Dan Andrews boasts about how leftist it is “We are the most progressive state in the nation.” And with majorities in both

Christians, Public Education, and an Increasingly Anti-Christian Culture

Apr 5, 2017

As Western culture moves from a once Christian culture through a post-Christian culture to an anti-Christian culture, there always arises the question of just how believers are to live and act in such a culture. We are called to be

Schools in Meltdown

On Books, Reading and Libraries

Sep 7, 2016

Sonia Kruger Stands Strong – Again

Weekly Gaystapo Activity Update, #3617

Mar 11, 2012

OK folks, another week, another batch of ugly anti-Christian bigotry and anti-freedom activism from the homosexual thought police. As I have documented many dozens of times now, the militant homosexual activists will not rest until every single thread of opposition

A Review of When a Nation Forgets God. By Erwin Lutzer.

May 10, 2011

Moody, 2010. (Available in Australia at Koorong Books)

Homeschooling and State Education

Jan 5, 2011

The Secular State’s Homeschooling Crackdown

All around the Western world parents are moving to homeschooling, and all around the Western world governments are getting nervous about all this, if not down-right hostile to it. Neither trend should come as a surprise. As to the first,

Homeschooling and the War Against Children

Jul 12, 2009

The Case for Christian Education

Oct 9, 2006

Up until around 175 years ago, most people were educated at home, or by the church. As such, public education is a relatively new phenomenon. But today it is the major means of education in the Western world. Sure, there
