Students across Nebraska are heading back to school, and our children are being taught more than math and science. They are encountering ideas that can shape their identity, faith, and worldview.
That’s why parents must be engaged in their children’s education and build a foundation rooted in Biblical truth.
Parents are the primary educators of their children, and every child has the right to an education that best meets their needs and aligns with their family’s values.
In a culture seeking to redefine identity, God’s design for the family, and biological reality itself, we can anchor ourselves in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.
Our identity is found in Jesus Christ.
Scripture tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), created in His image, and crafted for His purposes (Ephesians 2:10). Our children are loved deeply by their Creator and called to follow Him.
As parents and grandparents, we have the privilege and responsibility of reminding our children that they reflect Christ. Grounded in faith, they can confidently stand firm in a world that challenges God’s design for human flourishing.
Your rights and the rights of your children don’t stop at the schoolhouse gate.
To help parents navigate these challenges, Nebraska Family Alliance offers dozens of free educational resources, including a comprehensive Back-to-School Guide for Parents, Student Rights Handbook, and 30-Day School Prayer Guide.
As you prepare for the school year, we encourage you to take advantage of these free resources to understand your rights and equip your children to live out their faith.
Most importantly, we invite you to pray. Pray that our children would know they are created in God’s image and stand firm in their faith. Pray for parents to have wisdom and courage as they lead and advocate for their children. Pray for teachers and administrators as they serve students. And pray that God would be honored in the classroom.
Thank you for standing with us as we work together to empower families, defend truth, and equip the next generation to know who they are in Christ.
