Home schooling and moral choice

Brian and I decided to home school our kids. There are many, many reasons we made the decision to do so. It has been heavy on my heart for along time.
The moral in the school system is getting further and further away, to a point its sickening. I see obvious agenda's being taught to our children little by little. One decision is when I found they are talking about taking the constitution out of our history books. Our country was built on God's foundation and slowly but surely our country is being robbed of our rights to worship and religious beliefs. While other religions can practice what they believe and somehow it is accepted. This is no news, but I am responsible for me children and their upbringing.
I have heard many arguments where people say "yeah but that is not the real world what are they going to do when faced with reality" I say seriously so if the reality is that every man was a child molester shall I say well kids, you need to live in the real world cuz one day you will face it? Maybe so but what is wrong with keeping my kids innocent for as long as I can?
Not saying that parents are bad for putting their kids in a public school. Its their choice as this is mine. Parents have choices for their own family and this one is mine and what I feel is best for my children.

Where we live is known for Meth and some of the kids coming out of the schools makes me sad for them. I see so many children that have not only been taught there is no hope but live like there is non. Yes we are suppose to reach those kids, I agree. But if my kids are not learning about hope and being a light in the darkness how are they suppose to be the light by being taught the darkness of some of the curriculum of today?
I am not trying to completely shelter my kids or keep the anti social. I am actually planning on teaching them how to give, love, have compassion, sincerity etc...

I think every parent just wants best for their kids, and that is all I feel like I am doing!

I am excited to get this venture going...ordering stuff tomorrow to make it happen!
