Standard Deviants: Liberal Arts
Liberal Arts covers a wide range of subjects, from English and Public Speaking to the Social Sciences such as American Government, Psychology and Sociology. Many times these subjects are required for college completion. Yet they may contain material that contradicts or challenges a Christian worldview. It becomes prudent to therefore have your children learn these subjects in the context of the home where the parents can oversee their content and be available to answer questions and rebut controversial material.

The Standard Deviants products will help you to understand these Humanistic subjects and how they are impacting the society in which we live. We believe it is very useful for our children in the high school and early college years to be knowledgeable of what is being taught contrary to our Christian worldview, to understand the differences, and to then know how to counter those arguments intelligently with a Christian response.

To help our children, as well as us as parents, in this endeavor, there are great resources available through groups such as Summit Ministries, Genesis Ministries, The Institute for Creation Research, Worldview Academy, Answers In Genesis, and David Quine's Cornerstone Curriculum and others.

Liberal Arts: American Government
The American Government was carefully crafted to be a dynamic system of checks and balances. None of the three branches is more powerful than the other two, and each branch has powers specifically designed to keep the others in line. Untangling this bureaucracy is not only important for civics and history classes, but also in making sense of the evening news!
