Free Speech

Fear of offending people should not keep us from saying what must be said.

Free Speech

But that’s not all.

Free Speech

Sadly American free speech is now being attacked. So we have an obligation to our kids to help them understand what is written in the first amendment. There are things that need to be said in the public square that aren’t being said because of our culturally induced, politically correct, fear of offense.

It was Thomas Payne who said, “If you’re afraid to offend, you can’t be honest.” Jordan Peterson said, “In order to be able to think you must risk being offensive.” They are both right. Today, all for the sake of not offending anyone, American culture fosters dishonesty. No polite person wants to deliberately offend someone, yet we must teach our kids that risking offense is well worth the rewards of truth and honesty.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
