Exodus Mandate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exodus Mandate, based in Columbia, South Carolina, USA, is a Christian fundamentalist effort promoting a mass withdrawal of students from the public school system and into religious schools or home-schooling. Headed by Ray Moore (no relation to the "Ten Commandments" judge), their motto is "Christian Children need Christian Education." The group is active within the Southern Baptist Convention and has introduced a succession of anti-lesbian and anti-gay initiatives within the Convention.
Exodus Mandate have most recently endorsed the Mission America-spearheaded "School Risk Audit" program to investigate schools for any sign of LGBT tolerance or support. Examples given include anti-bullying programs and safe-schools programs that include lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered students, and anti-discrimination policies that LGBT students, faculty, or staff. This effort is also supported by a variety of evangelical fundamentalist Christian organizations, including Concerned Women for America, the American Family Association, and the Family Research Council, amongst others.
