A beacon of faith and hope is shining out of the state of Ohio - and traveling nationwide. It’s making a huge difference in the lives of thousands of students.
First Liberty client LifeWise Academy is an education program available to public schools that teaches the Bible to students during school hours, who might never be exposed to it otherwise.
And it is having a major positive impact.
With over 30,000 students enrolled in LifeWise Academy, teachers and parents have reported:
This program is growing and now has students participating in more than 300 public schools across 12 states.
Because LifeWise Academy operates away from school campus, finds private funding, and requires parental permission, it’s completely within the bounds of the Constitution.
Listen to LifeWise Academy Founder and CEO Joel Penton explain how this program is making a positive impact in communities across the country and what First Liberty is doing to make sure that it’s protected from attacks.
Who would be opposed to this amazing program that helps make students’ lives better?
LifeWise Academy is currently being attacked by both the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) and the leftist media.
The notoriously anti-faith FFRF recently sent a letter to 600 school districts in Ohio “warning” school officials about the mission of LifeWise Academy.
Despite this program’s positive impact on students and schools, the FFRF claims that LifeWise seeks to “indoctrinate” children and describes it as a “disruption” and “punishment” to each student’s school day.
Yet, this program is optional. Parents are actively choosing for their children to attend these Bible classes.
Two MSNBC hosts also blasted LifeWise on air and described the academic program as nothing more than “right-wing grooming.”
Because of attacks like these, First Liberty is standing with LifeWise ready to defend their right to instill key values like honesty, integrity, humility and sacrifice into the participating children.
And as is the case for all of our clients, the folks at LifeWise will never see a bill for our services.
Thank you for supporting First Liberty and learning more about this incredible program that is facing serious backlash.
Every student in America has the right to their faith, and First Liberty intends to make sure that they keep this God-given right.
That’s why we are standing up for LifeWise Academy and the tens of thousands of students and teachers who are being positively impacted by this organization.
But we can’t do it without you.
Will you support First Liberty’s defense of LifeWise Academy as they continue to bring religious education to public school students?
