It is very sad and a suppression from the education government officials that even though each child here in this nation is given or allotted an educational funding from kindergarten to high School, the public schools and charter schools would not allow Christian homeschooling families to direct their children's funds to their choice of Christian curriculum providers.
We are not asking for the money to be given to us directly but at least it will be allowed that the funds be paid directly to our choice of curriculum providers, not impose their own lists of curriculum providers, because as their parents we know what our children needs when it comes to education.
We already took it upon ourselves to educate our kids but let not the Department of Education, nor the School boards, nor the principals, or whoever is deciding on the matter take away the rights of homeschooling families to direct their child(ren)'s education funding to the curriculum provider of their choice even if these providers are not in their list (or intentionally has been singled out from their list) just because it is a Christian curriculum publisher or provider.
Why does this nation persecute and suppress its Christian citizens and homeschooling families who are equally paying our taxes just like everyone else? Why does this nation single out Christian businesses and establishments and suppress them yet they all equally pay their taxes diligently?
Why is this nation called a free country doing this evil and unfair practices?

Where I am right now, the Land of the Brave (or Home of the Brave), life is becoming hard. Costs are rising up faster and often than salaries do. Since recession, people are losing jobs, lost homes, lining up kitchen soup pantries to help meet the need for food. Christian organizations handling food banks let you know through their media mail how much people are lining up to meet that need. Food organizations or even supermarkets are giving away perishable food but such gifts need money to transport them where they are needed---food banks.
People, whether professing faith or no faith in God, are moved to make adjustments in life.
My rent went up again.
I wonder when my boss will increase my salary?
They make us work 10 hours a day like our bodies will not burn out.
You woke up at 3:00 a.m. to start work at 5:00 a.m.
Even salaried personnel get deducted from pay when taking a day off to help the body recover (but already used up sick leave)?
Perhaps it is time to pray for tyrant employers?
Ask God to intervene about abusive owners of companies who are greedy for money or profit but make their labor force work like "carabaos" (animals in Asia that help work the soil before planting).
Companies are making you do "multi-tasking" yet they pay you little or assign you more work that is no longer part of what you applied for in the beginning.
If God is not going to move to increase the salary, what can we do?
Complain?
Grumble?
Cry? (my brother did, out of wearied body doing electrical maintenance in hotel but was asked to do plumbing as well which is becoming more often)
Is ti time to evaluate our spending habits?
Time to make decisions, decisions, decisions, big or small.
Do we need this or need that?
Should we sell this or not?
Is this a real need (that which you can't really do without "like oxygen is to life" kind of spending) or just a want (can do without it).
Should we change insurance company to save?
Should we pay monthly or annually?
Must we sell the second car and find ways to make it with one car, thereby saving more car insurance and gas spending?
Can this dance enrollment of a certain child wait in lieu of a more important course for another sibling?
Perhaps, we wait another month before we buy this needed curriculum so that credit card spending do not accumulate on top of one another?
Watch a movie at a theatre or just rent through Red Box? Can you wait?
Should I buy an Ipad or an Iphone?
GPS Navigator or the tablet can do the same work?
Pay internet service using Iphone or just wait until you get home and do your internet needs on the home computer to lower down telephone or internet bills?
More decisions,
Serious ones. Aren't they all serious?
Should we just enroll the kids at a charter school Independent Study or home school and trust God to provide for curriculum?
