Revealed Educational Principles & the Public Schools by Jack Monnett, PhD (1999)

"Revealed Educational Principles & the Public Schools" has become a pivotal book in the LDS home schooling movement. It historically demonstrates that the Church has had reservations about the educational role of government and the secular nature of public learning. This book was named as "Book of the Year" by the LDS Home Educators' Association.

From Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, author and educator:
"This book is the best history that I know of concerning the valiant struggle of LDS parents to get a balanced education for their children. The determination of secular educators to completely eliminate moral and spiritual teachings from the schools is contrary to the most fundamental policies advocated by both Franklin and Jefferson. It is a continuing struggle which makes this book of such primary significance."

From Dr. Oliver DeMille, Provost, George Wythe College:
"Reading Dr. Monnett's history of LDS education is like reading a manual for solving modern educational concerns. Could it be that our hardest educational problems were answered by the prophets over a century ago?"

From David M. Nelson, President of Benjamin Franklin Academies:
"This book, more than any other I have read, helps clear up the misunderstandings that exist concerning the divine role parents play in the gospel with respect to their children's education."

From Joyce Kinmont, President and Founder of the LDS Home Educators' Association:
"After all the early Saints had sacrificed, if they had been just a little more visionary, a little more obedient, how much different things would be for our children today. This book tells a sad story but points to a happier ending; it will change the course of educational history in the Church. That's why we named this book our "Book of the Year." 257pp. 978-1-930679-39-9 [-history-home school-]
