During the Covid-19 pandemic, Oregon’s public schools lost about 50,000 k-12 children. They simply just stopped attending, and were dropped after 10-days. The state doesn’t know what happened to them. They did not register with ESDs as required of home school students. They did not transfer to other public schools. However, the waiting lists to enter private schools surged. Before the pandemic, there were nearly 50,000 children in Oregon’s private schools, half of which are faith based.
What drove these families away from public education? More than a biological virus, it was a liberal political virus that reimagined public schools. In Oregon, the virulent spread of this dogma started in Salem, Portland, and Eugene. Populations dense with an entitled voter base catered to the agendas of Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theory.
SGEd recognizes that democrats dominate our public school system. From teacher colleges to teacher unions, atheistic fables such as man evolved from nothing, or there is no biological basis for referring to children as boys and girls, or that certain races are born racist while others are not, continue to replace truth with indoctrination. Hiring committees heap piles of applicants whose doctrines comply with the status quo, forming an echo chamber that delightfully tickles their ears.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
