If You’re Wondering What The Other Side Is Doing …
Statement by conservative apologist Ken Ham
- Most Sunday School/Bible School & VBS programs & many Homeschool & Christian School bible curricula are really shallow fluff & stuff teaching “stories.” That’s why AiG developed what I believe are the most powerful unique bible teaching curricula (Answers Bible Curriculum) in the world for Sunday School/Bible school (all ages), VBS, & Homeschool curricula with Christian School bible curriculum coming. These curricula are chronological, evangelistic, teach apologetics, doctrine and Christian worldview. Most Christians don’t have a true Christian worldview. Let’s make sure generations understand Christianity is based in real history, not just “stories,” & teach how to defend the faith!
Here at SWK, we promote critical thinking, not indoctrination, and so while we feel critical thinking will lead to secularism more often than not, our main aim is to level the playing field to let kids make free and informed decisions.

From the article:
- Learning to fact check is an important step towards media literacy. However, real empowerment will require a systemic approach. Our media diets inform us about our world, so consider using your fact-checking skills to cleanse your news feed of junk. Limit your news consumption to the organizations that have a reliable track-record of accurate and less biased coverage, and break out of echo chambers that repeat false or misleading stories. You’ll find yourself less outraged and more informed.
