It was wonderful hearing you today at the MACHS conference in Winnipeg. I just finished reading about Obama’s policies in regard to promoting abortion from a link in your article. I am not surprised. But what I found disappointing in the grads at the homeschool conference, was the lack of anyone stating that their desire was to have a family, and to promote God’s way of life to their children. Do our children not want to get married, and have children? When I was growing up that is ALL I wanted. This was my teen and early twenties dream! In our Canadian public schools, I know that family and children are at the very bottom of the list in any child’s dream. This is what they teach and promote. But in homeschool children…I expected to have more of a “I want family” mentality. What is happening? Are evil messages from Satan getting to our children? Do our children no longer want to get married and have children? We only have one child, who is now 12 years old. My husband will freely admit that we only have ONE child because he was convinced from his parents and public schools that children were a hardship, and not a blessing. Are homeschool children taught this same message? I don’t think so. But I do think that the social culture we live in will still give them that message. Churches will applaud good works and missions, but the choice to get married and raise children is not applauded at all. We need families, and we need bigger families. But instead, we delay having children till it is too late. It is too late for my husband and I to have more children. But for those who are able to have more children I wish they would, and that we could support them in that decision. And abortion, well that should never be a choice!

But thanks for coming to our homeschool conference. And I just want to say, thanks for NOT promoting your business in the business of promoting God. God should always be first. I may not be stating my point clearly, but I hope you know what I mean.

It is such a pleasure to use your Math-U-See curriculum for my homeschooled children! It is that much more of a joy to log onto your family website and see you doing something to educate those around you about the attacks on our families! I, too, have acted on FOCA and have been educating people around me on all of our new president’s plans for abortion. It is wonderful to find that the creator of our favorite math program is also such a strong Christian who is willing to be a voice in these troubled times.

Thank you for all you do.

Cordially,
