 | It’s About the Children
By Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation
It is the mantra of nearly every organization associated with education and nearly every politician in America. It’s repeated so often that it’s a wonder anyone actually pays attention to it anymore.
“It’s about the children.” For many, it is indeed a true calling and a point of fact. And what, beyond shelter, nourishment, spiritual guidance and love, is more important to the children than their education. For it is through a child’s education that they are offered hope and opportunity for the future.
And who decides how a child should be educated? Who has their best interest at heart? Who understands not only their educational needs but also their educational capacity? Who is best suited to make important decisions about how, what, when and where a child will be educated? Read more... |

It didn’t just “happen.” Men and women paved the way by their sacrificial giving. Giving of their time, resources, and their expertise—whatever it took to set this country on a path of freedom—that’s what they were willing to give. Read more...

The Missing Curriculum
By Dr. Christian Overman
Many things have changed since 1721. Some things, like men’s white powdered wigs and women’s corsets, we can live without. But some things have gone out of fashion that we really need to recover.
1721 was the year Jonathan Edwards was graduated from the Collegiate School at New Haven, known today as Yale University.[1] But before Edwards and his classmates could exit Yale, whether to work as pastors or merchants, they were all tested in a particular field of study that has since disappeared from virtually every school in America: the practical art of God-centered work.
