Join us in a movement.
What is it about?
Our Core Beliefs
We believe that Black lives matter, unborn baby lives matter, immigrant lives matter, and all lives matter. We may not all want the same gun laws, abortion laws, or immigration laws, but we all believe what is written in the Declaration of Independence (despite the hypocrisy of any forefathers), that all men are created equal. We believe that in order to live a life that reflects this belief, we have to bring God back. We hope to bring him back into public schools in the United States. We believe that the current practices do not best comply with the First Amendment in that they establish a religion or worldview and inhibit the practice of other religions by excluding God completely. We believe that the best way to comply with the First Amendment and provide religious freedom for all is not to eliminate God from public schools, but to naturally and subtly include the possibility of a loving God who created us all equally and wants us to live as such.
“An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking: it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live.” – Maria Montessori
Our Goals
How will we bring God back?
Start Charter Schools
We seek to execute a collective effort that transcends denominations and religions. The effort is to start charter schools all around the United States that use an alternative method: one that includes the possibility of a loving God as a foundation, but does not go beyond that. We hope to include a secular prayer that shows humility, submission, and gratitude, but reflects no particular religion.
Litigate
If this model is denied and determined unconstitutional, we will litigate. We believe that our arguments are strong and our angles have not yet been taken. See some of our arguments below.
Our Arguments
We are on everyone's side.
God is good for us all.
Let science be science.
The research proves its benefits.
Have you ever thought that perhaps too much education is left in the hands of religious leaders? Including an understanding of a potential God in schools can affirm God's loving character for all, even when other sources influence kids to understand that God is their friend and someone else's enemy. On the other hand, when life is viewed simply through a scientific lens, it lacks the authority on the matter that God brings. How can we teach kids an oxymoron that all men evolved equally? Rather than excluding God from school, an integration of some spiritual life in school could bring about much positive change. The first amendment doesn't exclude all religion from government activities, but prohibits the establishment or inhibition of any religion.

Politics and science don't mix.
The creation vs. evolution debate has been going on now for over a century and a half. Has the proof to support evolution proven that God does not exist? Universities across the country have evolutionary biology departments researching and contributing. Conclusive evidence for macroevolution has still not shown itself. However, in an honest effort to rid ourselves from racist content, Darwin must undergo the same scrutiny as everyone else.

What is best for kids?
It's about human formation.
In U.S. public schools, employees are required to call youth experiencing gender dysphoria by the pronoun they affiliate with, an idea that conflicts with nature and physical reality. Simultaneously, God is not included at school as he cannot be physically proven. We are not arguing for a change in current practices of the treatment of students diagnosed as transgender. We are asking that our loving God be given the same value for the same reasons. This is a human development perspective, not a scientific one. Though we cannot see God or the supernatural, the experiences of many speak and should be included, at least minimally, in the educational environment.
