The State of State Schools is a weekly podcast recapping some of the most important headlines in education—from a Christian perspective. The goal is to help keep teachers, parents, and homeschool families up-to-speed on the state of our kids’ schools. John Stamper is a former homeschooler, former public school teacher, and author of the book "Conflicted: Pulling Back the Curtain on Public Education." His homeschool background, coupled with his experience teaching in the nation’s third largest public school system, provide a unique perspective on education that parents and teachers will want to hear.

On Sunday, October 20, 2024, I was honored to speak at Back to the Cross Ministries in Manteno, Illinois--home church of dear friends and Pastors Norman and Myra Lapinski. The title of this speech is "Inspecting the Walls" and the key biblical texts come from the Book of Nehemiah. The story of Nehemiah inspecting and rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem directly relates to the condition of the government school system. I share valuable information on the history of the public school system in America, and encourage listeners to follow Nehemiah's example and return to God's commandments, statutes, and judgements.
