Jesus Camp

This film did not shock me in the slightest. I lived in the midwest for 12 years and this is common practice all over the state I lived in. One of my close friends was homeschooled after attending school with me till fourth grade. When she became homeschooled she had an entire hour dedicated to Bible time. She was also not allowed to watch movies like Harry Potter or certain songs in High school Musical because it was too self-centered. This film reminded me of what I left behind when I moved to Massachusetts. There are many concerning things that happen to the children in this film. I personally do not think it is okay to tell your kids that there is only one way of thinking. An example of this would be when one of the moms told their child that global warming did not exist and that evolution is wrong. She did not let her kids ask questions or even tell them other people's point of view. This film is scary because it shows how there are groups of people who are setting their kids up to believe in a system that is very narrow-minded. This film is also scary because it shows that some adults do not think that their point of views have any faults and are not open to other ideas. This movie is also very interesting because the children featured in it are so passionate about their cause to an intense level. You do not see many kids in society today that are passionate about something they believe in. One thing I think everyone can take away from this film would be that it is important to recognize that not everyone in the country thinks the same way and that their background has a huge impact on how they perceive the world.
