Child-to-Child Evangelism Hits on Parents' Religious Rights
Boston, Rob
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v70 n2 p47-52 Oct 2004
In this article, the author discusses the "child-to-child evangelism" technique designed by evangelist Franklin Graham to convert America's children to his brand of Christianity. Starting in local public schools, Graham put out this plan whereby children could study evangelism techniques over the Internet and then march into their schools to convert them into fundamentalist Christianity. Although school-sponsored religious indoctrination in public schools is banned by the US Supreme Court, evangelists are still trying to circumvent that decision and find a way to bring fundamentalism into the schools. Their latest approach--using children as missionaries--is only the newest wrinkle in a long-running effort by the Religious Right to "Christianize" America's schools. The technique has been all the rage in evangelical Christian circles and has been highlighted in several publications and websites.
