Millions of Christians believe they have been Called to Public Schools to serve as teachers, support staff, administrators, and volunteers. They recognize the flaws of our public education system, but they consider their work in our nation's school as an act of worship and devotion to God. They are ChIPS (Christians in Public Schools). For decades, ChIPS have resisted and opposed Harmful Influences in Public Schools (HIPS) from inside local schools, but they remain unrecognized by our public school system and most churches. Consequently, ChIPS are increasingly caught between the secular and the sacred in the culture wars, so they cannot continue to succeed unseen or unsupported. Called to Public Schools acknowledges and affirms these resolute servants of God, providing Biblical support for their callings, practical strategies to thrive, and encouragement to embrace each other as professionals and believers. ChIPS value prayer over politics and service over activism as they serve in our nation's greatest mission field. Join Dr. Tom Deighan as he reveals the millions of people serving as the hands and feet of Christ for our nation's students, parents, and communities. If you have sensed God guiding you in your service in a public school, then Called to Public Schools is for you. Welcome to the Fellowship of ChIPS!

Restoring Sanity in Public Schools stakes out the Common Ground where parents and educators can confidently resist faraway radicals who offer us the false choices of either Marxism or Crony Capitalism. Local parents and educators are not radicals, so radical options can no longer be our only choices. Together, local parents and educators navigate the toughest kid-level issues every day in your local schools, but we must recognize the methods of faraway powers from both sides of the political aisle that seek to destroy this local parent-teacher partnership. Join author Tom Deighan as he illustrates the forces and tactics used to purposely divide common-sense parents and educators at the kid level. Our public schools are worth saving. The first step is Restoring Sanity in Public Schools.

Were Open Schools a Secret During the COVID-19 Pandemic? Stories of preemptively closed schools captivated our nation during and since the COVID pandemic, but what about districts that fought to serve their children with full-time, in-person instruction? Open for School During COVID chronicles one school district's struggle to serve children with open schools during the pandemic. Many schools closed temporarily due to actual conditions, but they did not send kids home preemptively. Yet, we have heard very little about them or how they accomplished this. This is one district's real-time story, shared with the hope that many more stories will emerge of districts who were Open for School During COVID. A collection of his weekly newspaper updates to his community during this difficult time, Open for School During COVID provides an almost weekly snapshot into an Oklahoma school districts fight against preemptive closures. Join author Tom Deighan as the pandemic unfolds in real time in his district where he was superintendent during COVID-19. We must never let this happen again to our nation's children.
