This country was founded on the flag and belief in God. I'd want creationism to go hand in hand with evolution. I don't think studying creation as the Christians believe it hurts anybody.
--Esther Davis, member of the Lodi, Calif. school board, The Stockton Record, November 1990
[The United States is] a once-Christian country that has been force-fed the poisons of paganism.
--Pat Buchanan, Right from the Beginning, 1988
Satan uses the evil in the new age witchcraft lessons in our classrooms to divert our children's faith away from the true and loving God toward the new age god of `Mother Earth' while our school teachers and administrators are saying, `Well, it's good environmental ecology.'
--Robert Simonds, Citizens for Excellence in Education, Earth Day message, 1992
Modern public education is the most dangerous single force in a child's life: religiously, sexually, economically, patriotically and physically.
--Rev. Tim LaHaye, (Dave Marsh, 50 Ways to Fight Censorship)
Every one of us is called to be one of God's priests. When you walk into your [school] building, you can claim it for Christ.
--Forrest Turpen, Christian Educators Association International, Hartford Current, 1988
When you read articles by Janet Jones, Robert Marzano, Skipp Porteous, Theodore Sizer, and John Goodlad, remember that their agenda is atheism, socialism and anti-democratic world globalism. To them, 'critical thinking' means teaching children to empty themselves of their own values (transmitted from parents, church and culture) and accept a set of suggested values (atheist/socialist).
--Robert Simonds, CEE, "A Plea for the Children," Educational Leadership, Dec/Jan, 1994
We must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality... Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political, and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God.
--Gary North, Institute for Christian Economics, quoted in Bill Moyers' "God and Politics," PBS, 1987
We are talking about Christianizing America. We are talking about simply spreading the Gospel in a political context.
--Paul Weyrich, August 1980
In our public schools students are being taught how to write suicide notes. They are being shown a variety of methods of creating suicide and given recommendations about which are preferable. They are told about and taught to do, indeed, build models of their coffins. The Bible says that those that hate God love death, and that is what all of this is: just death, death and more death.
--Rev. D. James Kennedy, "A Noble Origin and Destiny"
When they teach children in public schools about history, they knowingly omit all references to God and Christ, including those that are foundational to our country's beginning. Then they tell us uneducated masses that the founding fathers struggled to keep church and biblical influences out of politics. These are bold-faced lies. (Violates Ninth Commandment).... `They' are (in random order): The National Organization of Women (NOW); the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); the National Education Association (NEA); pagan judges of federal state and local benches; the Hollywood elite; Act-Up; Queer Nation; North American Man-Boy Love Association; the majority of newspaper editors and journalists; the majority of television's elite; the American Medical Association (AMA); an army of university deans and professors (educated way beyond their intelligence); the major networks; the Ted Kennedy crowd; the friends of Hillary crowd; the faceless crowd of bureaucrats that have infested our nation; the messianic social-engineers that skulk around in small communities across the nation promoting `tolerance'; Planned Parenthood (curriculum and condoms); the Madonna crowd, the Green Peace crowd; the Al Gore eco-freak crowd; Earth First; People [sic] United for the Separation of Church and State; various social service agencies; the Children's Defense League; the child-killers and spineless career politicians who allow these lunatics to terrorize them into promoting iniquity; and the innumerable cadres of bureaucratic, statist thugs who are on a mission to rid the earth of Christian influence and biblical morality. That's who `they' are, just to name a few.

I am fully in support of Christian teachers being missionaries in public schools, living and testifying Christ. However, we should keep our children out and ultimately seek to sink the current public education fiasco and replace it with voucher, parent choice education.
--Randall Terry, "Why Does a Nice Guy Like Me Keep Getting Thrown In Jail?," p. 169, (Huntington House Publishers/Resistance Press, 1993)
The next step, if at all humanly possible (and in 90 percent of the cases it is), it is to get our children out of the humanistic, brainwashing institution called `public education'. Frankly, it is a mixture of insanity and irresponsibility to turn our children over to our adversaries and their curriculum in a God-less education system (i.e., a system that teaches history and science without God.
--Randall Terry, "Why Does a Nice Guy Like Me Keep Getting Thrown In Jail?," p. 168, (Huntington House Publishers/Resistance Press, 1993)
School Prayer is a sort of a code word. It doesn't mean anything really. I think it would be a step in the right direction possibly. What matters is a return to basic discipline or morality.
--Pat Robertson, Baptist Press, 6/7/86
