Apologetics, Islam, Darwin Discussed at C.S. Lewis Society

C.S. Lewis fans and home educators, the following articles are a sampling of the material from the C. S. Lewis Society, at http://www.apologetics.org. Lewis is most well known for his book, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"; however, his weightier works should not be neglected.

Homeschooling College Update--on a Shoestring

Dr. Jim Bartlett kindly e-mailed me with an update regarding his homeschooling college program that we are looking into. We are not affiliated with his organization, but I am sharing his update FYI:

"I am just getting caught up with your requests for information via the Concourse website and have attached the mentioned report. The article titled "Why Not Bring Higher Education All the Way Home?" is linked here.

Lots of people are seeing the family and church problems stemming from modern higher education and are anxious for a Biblically minded family based alternative. Another helpful introductory review of the Concourse is linked here.

Its simply continuing home school through college with the Concourse as a support group. "

Sincerely, Jim Bartlett

Library Porn and Pagan Agenda--Just Say No! Again, That's Why We Homeschool

Library porn--just say "No!" Pagan agenda--not with our kids!

What do you think of this article? The ALA (American Library Association) and Looking For Alaska -One Example of How the ALA Pushes Porn On Children,at http://www.safelibraries.org/pushers.htm#who_are_ya
According to the article, "Even children's book authors have become disgusted with recent trends in children's books, and the books have invaded school libraries and school curricula as well. Barbara Feinberg, author of "Welcome to Lizard Motel: Children, Stories, and the Mystery of Making Things Up" (Beacon Press), found her 12-year-old son Alex "steel himself, again and again, for the joyless task of completing the assigned reading for his 'language arts' class...."

Her curiosity plunges Feinberg into the contemporary genre of young adult (Y.A.) 'problem novels,' the bane of her son's existence."

"Teachers love them," the local librarian explains as Feinberg scans a shelf of such titles. "They win all the awards."

Well, I can't say that is encouraging news, either for authors or parents. Are you interested in avoiding the secular school, high school or public college agenda? Homeschooling through college, or at least freshman courses, can help students avoid secular courses that often target impressionable youth for indoctrination into secular worldviews.
