Dealing with Public Schools

 

If your child’s school is teaching, promoting, or encouraging anything ungodly, immoral, or antichristian please write to your State Legislator, tell him what is going on and the reasons for your displeasure, and ask him to investigate and correct the situation.

To increase your influence and effectiveness, here are a few guidelines to remember when writing to public officials:

·        A personally written or typed letter sent through the mail is normally more effective than an email, a petition, or a form letter.

·        Limiting each letter to one subject gives each subject a better chance of getting needed attention.

·        Be courteous, make complimentary remarks or express appreciation, do not use sarcasm or profanity, and avoid saying anything that may sound threatening.

·        Include a Gospel Tract with each letter; this serves as a reminder that there are Christians in their constituency as well as witnessing to those who are unsaved.

·        Conclude each letter by expressing appreciation to the public official for taking time out of his schedule to read your letter and consider what you have said.
