To the world, the message of the cross is madness.
You should have stayed in the public school as a witness. Now those children in the school will go to hell without a witness about Jesus

Those children won't go to hell because you protect your son. God can save sinners wherever they are.My son is 6 years old.
Today, I withdrew my 1st grade son from the public school system and put him in private school. He has high functioning autism and absolutely loves Jesus so much that he gets upset when it is not his turn to pray at dinner time. His favorite book is his children's Bible and he insists on reading it every day. All this, of course, before public school.
Over the last few months I began to notice that he wasn't as insistent on prayer and did not want to read bible stories. Finally, at dinner time, he told me that he didn't want to pray. So I asked him why, the answer shocked me.
It started around Christmas time when all the kids in class were talking about Santa and Frosty the Snowman. My son told his friends that Christmas was about Jesus and began to share the Gospel. As a result, he was punished by the administrators and he was told that he was being offensive.
Eventually, the other kids in the class started picking on him because he shared Bible stories. When we talked to the school they told us, "Well, if he would just stop talking about Jesus so much then the kids will stop picking on him."
I am absolutely furious that this has happened. So I immediately withdrew him from the public school system and enrolled him into a Christian private school. My question is, "Has anyone else had similar issues with the public school system attacking your child's faith?" If so, how did you handle it?
Haven't had the same experience here in Central Texas. Most of the public school teachers are Christian so I'm sure they are more understanding of the free exercise of religion.Today, I withdrew my 1st grade son from the public school system and put him in private school.

I wish every parent who withdraws their children from the government schools would also protest property taxes. It is totally unfair to have to pay for two school systems at the same time and for those of us who have no children to keep paying for the school systems via property taxes.Today, I withdrew my 1st grade son from the public school system and put him in private school.

You have to be very strong and sure to stand up for Jesus Christ in a public school and keep doing it. You have to be willing to risk everything for Him. How many Christians today are just putting right down on paper the lies of evolution? Well, they want to pass the class. Is it really that important? You have to be ready to count the cost when taking that first step to speak up.
This thread is about a first grader.
The child for this thread was only in first grade at that public school. He was already so changed as to how he acted at home. He used to want to pray, now did not. It was taking him down. He has autism and the only right thing to do was to remove him from that environment.
When I was in second grade the teacher used to help us start the day by saying a prayer out loud. One day she announced to us we were no longer allowed to have our morning prayer.Today, I withdrew my 1st grade son from the public school system and put him in private school.

Those children won't go to hell because you protect your son. God can save sinners wherever they are.
You did the right thing! God will bless you!

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Problems of this life are nothing. Eternity of the lost souls is most precious. Look at the persecution of the Apostles and early Christians. We never experience anything remotely as harsh as they did. Stop being scared whimps and serve Jesus!
I don't have any public school stories, but I was fired once for discussing my Christian beliefs with co-workers. I had this co-worker that kept attacking my Christianity and wouldn't let me be. The Engineer in charge of us decided I had to go and fired me.
When I was in second grade the teacher used to help us start the day by saying a prayer out loud. One day she announced to us we were no longer allowed to have our morning prayer.
I remember a passage from Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount:"
Matthew 6 (WEB) - Public Domain
5 When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
