COLORADO SPRINGS,CO, March 28, 2002 (LSN.ca) – In his widely heard radio broadcast today Focus on the Family’s Dr. James Dobson stated “In the state of California, if I had a child there, I wouldn’t put the youngster in a public school…. I think it’s time to get our kids out. And I’m going to get hit for [saying] that.”

Marshall Fritz, President of the Alliance for the Separation of School & State, congratulated Dobson and said that the public schools have become government indoctrination centers.

Fritz said that approximately 15,000 people have signed a Public Proclamation for the Separation of School and State and that “the Proclamation goes even further than does Dr. Dobson—it calls for the end of government involvement in education”. Others who have endorsed the Proclamation, range from Dr. D. James Kennedy and Dr. Tim LaHaye to Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., and from Rabbi Daniel Lapin to Iman Hamza Yusef Hanson. The Alliance notes that others can be seen at:
