Pseudo-Science for the Whole Family
Fort Wayne’s Journal Gazette has a report on some home-schoolers teaching their children to reject modern science.
Part of the reason the Neffs opted for home schooling was scheduling. Mark Neff, Jennifer’s husband, works second shift, and if his children attended a traditional school, he’d never see them, she says.
Plus, she says, Neff thinks the Bible tells parents to teach their children. She quotes Deuteronomy: “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart. And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit at home, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.”
Louis Griffith, whose wife teaches their three children in their Fort Wayne home, likes that home schooling gives them the option to teach creationism alongside evolution, which also appealed to Cresse.
Teaching a biblical worldview to his children is important to his family, Cresse says. His wife teaches creationism but also teaches evolution, primarily so his children can understand what is being taught to their peers and friends in public schools.
Imagine what kind of “evolution” she’s teaching her kids.
