Many homeschoolers struggle with self-doubt and/or criticism for their decision by well-meaning friends and family. In this session, Israel will tackle some of the top objections people raise about home education and will give statistics and fact-based answers to help give you confidence to defend your choice to home educate.

What does school choice mean to you? What does it mean when we accept money from the government? These questions and others will be answered during this session. We will talk about the moral and theological implications of school choise as well as some of the consequences.

Many families assume ideological capture is a distant problem. It is not. DEI, SEL, and social justice frameworks are increasingly embedded not only in public education, but also in homeschool resources, co-ops, libraries, and youth programs. These systems function catechetically, training children to interpret the world through power, identity, and grievance rather than Scripture. This session aims to cultivate sober discernment, not fear, so parents can guard what they are building with clarity and confidence.
