ahead of the release of his new movie, “The Homeschool Awakening.”</h4> <div class="post-info"> Written by Paul Batura | Saturday, June 18, 2022 </div> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-content entry-content"> <p><em>We should all admire Kirk Cameron’s principled, brave outspokenness. He’s willing to use his platform and his celebrity to advance biblical truth. We should be cheering him on. Actors are trained to play to a crowd and seek the applause of their public, but it’s clear that the kid we once knew as “Mike Seaver” in Growing Pains is laser-focused on using his time to bring honor and glory to God, and Him alone.</em></p> </div> </div> <p> </p> <p>Christian evangelist and ‘80s heartthrob actor Kirk Cameron was trending on Twitter on Tuesday, as critics pounced on comments he made ahead of the release of his new movie, “The Homeschool Awakening.”</p> <p>“The problem is that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/fairfax-schools-rules-suspend-students-malicious-misgendering">public school</a> systems have become so bad. It’s sad to say they’re doing more for grooming, for sexual chaos and the progressive left than any real educating about the things that most of us want to teach our kids,” he said in a recent interview.</p> <p>Cameron called out “those who are rotting out the minds and souls of America’s children” and suggested they were “spreading a terminal disease, not education.”</p> <p>“And you can take your pick. Just go down the list. The things that are destroying the family, destroying the church, destroying love for our great country: critical race theory, teaching kids to pick their pronouns and decide whether they want to be a boy or a girl, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/schools-1619-project-curriculum-historical-errors">The 1619 Project</a>,” he said.</p> <p>He continued:</p> <p>“If we send our children to Rome to be educated, we shouldn’t be surprised if they come back Romans. If we want them to love God and love their neighbor and feel gratitude and thankful that they live in the United States of America, the freest country on earth, then you’ve got to teach them those things. I realized that there was no better way for our family to do that than to bring them home and join in with this rich, robust community, with tons of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/education/curriculum">curriculum</a> to be able to have the flexibility and freedom to raise our kids the way we wanted them to be raised.”</p> <p>Cue the Twitter dumpster fire.</p> <p>Antagonists responded in a flurry of thousands of profane and rude tweets, attacking Cameron’s devout Christian faith and beliefs, his socially conservative views, his acting abilities and, not surprisingly, homeschooling itself.</p> <p><a href="https://dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/kirk-cameron-ignores-his-critics-and-we-should-too/">Read More</a></p> <div
