What LifeWise Brings to our Schools
Divisiveness
We value diversity within our schools and community. LifeWise is an organization that has spent a great deal of money and time to get into schools to teach divisive religious instruction.
Disruptions
Besides the disruptions to the teachers/staff/students and overall flow of the day that would occur by having groups of students leaving the school once a week for nonacademic purposes, we also have larger concerns of bullying, manipulation, and religious harassment of the students.
Undue Influence
We understand that LifeWise is an option, and families can choose that their kids do not participate. However, they will still be influenced by those who do, based on LifeWise's own philosophy. With literature from LifeWise it is clear that peer to peer recruitment is a big push. We think that it is extremely inappropriate for them to send back pamphlets and offer kids candy and prizes if they can get other kids to come too.
Indoctrination
Peer pressure is powerful. Our children have the right to be free from religious indoctrination at their public school. Bringing LifeWise into our schools would create unnecessary distinctions between students. We have many faiths and beliefs in our district and to have students approaching any and all students trying to get them to come will result in harassment and bullying as it has in other districts.
LifeWise Teachings
"I could be a LifeWise teacher. I have no experience teaching or with kids." "I'm definitely not qualified. But, my mom tells me God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called."
Also LifeWise: Ohio's reproductive rights ammendment "is not only incredibly sad, it's also incredibly motivating. It makes us realize our mission is all the more important."
LifeWise founder in agreement that they are engaging in the highest level of spiritual warfare to combat what our kids are learning in schools.
