Howdy Folks,   (Welcome all members to the July eNewsletter of Hisways USA, Inc.)
    I'm going to use the link below as the focus for this months eNewsletter.  As you know one of Hisways.org's goals is to increase awareness of the serious ills of our children's public schools and provide resources for students, parents and teachers in the form of: education, information, alternatives; and, to encourage the use of "No Child Left Behind" rights and/or links to pro bono (religious) /Liberty/ Defender  attorneys.
    The 16 million member Southern Baptists have decided that a problem exists in our public schools, and by resolution has attempted to address the issue(s).   This link came from the FL Baptist Witness, July 14, 2005 page 7, reprint from the Baptist Press.   It is the new (© 2005) - Southern Baptist Church and Home Education Association Website http://www.sbchea.org/   ; and, it extols the various problems with public education and provides alternatives like 'church schools' and 'home schools' with resource materials, etc..  This awareness probably stems from an earlier report that: (In the first 2 years after public HS graduation up to 88%  of Baptists drop out of church & many never return! ^1.(update),).   I would rephrase this to say that 9 out of 10 Baptists that graduate high school are proselytized into secularism!  This is all the more shocking when one considers the statistic that 80% of converts are 'born again' by the age of 18.  (See our: '(3rd) Re-calculation of Primary Influencers In HS Kids. 2004.'  https://hisways.org/about/CalcPrim04.html  which references and refines our 'Calcs' from 2001 & 2003.  These rough calculations "based on time" indicate that parents have a decreasing influence on their child toward age 18 while gov't schools have an increasing (secular) influence without any increase in hours!)
    Normally Hisways seeks resources that are nondenominational but the reason that I think the new resolution is significant rests upon 4 items that give hope to ordinary parents:
    1.)  The Parents' problems with the gov't school system has again made it to the SBC convention floor.
    2.)  But a NEW resolution was passed. (There have been other important  resolutions but with little effect.)
    3.)  And hopefully this website link shows some refreshing HELP and ACTION! on their part.
    4.)  In the larger school districts, the top 500 (1.) that average more than 40,000 students which represent 20,912,064 students or 43.1%, the local church has had little positive effect against eroding morals and standards. (Not to mention the Supreme Court's attack on traditional civics (!?) in all of the districts.)
      I think this is a GREAT START for the SBC but the gov't school debate is so huge (52 million students), so old (1947 Everson v School Board or 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial), and so entangled (Supreme Court's 'secular purpose' trojan horse) that in my opinion there are still MASSIVE improvements and reforms required.  That is why Hisways still has an important mission in and to our public school children, parents and teachers.

Sincerely, Rick Klenk;   A concerned grandparent of future(?) govt. school kids.

The Apostle Paul writing to the Corinthian Church about 55 A.D. about 22-26 years after Jesus' resurrection.  [1
Corinthians 15:3-5, [NIV],  http://www.bible.gospelcom.net/ ]
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are
     still living, though some have fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

The assault on children, families & schools is cause for concern hence the following ministry links.
