A University Professor’s Opinion on Homeschooling and Culture - Join host, Yvette Hampton, and Dr. Duke Pesta as they discuss the influence culture and churches have had on today’s youth and how we as parents can best prepare our children for the secular worldview ideology that they are being exposed to on a daily basis. Are our children safe? They also discuss how most homeschooled students fare in a university setting. 
 
Read the transcript of this interview here.
Dr. Duke Pesta is the Director of FreedomProject Academy, host of the Dr. Duke Show, and a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. His experiences as an educational reformer, university professor, and high school teacher, uniquely qualify him to address the current state of education in our country. He speaks across the nation on topics including the necessity of homeschooling, the decline of morality and critical thinking in the public schools, and the myriad of ways that colleges and universities indoctrinate students.
