For many years, an evangelical program called the "Good News Club" has taken a surprising approach to proseltyzing - offering after school programs in public schools that teach children of pre-school age and up that they were born with "dark" and "sinful hearts," and that they "deserve to die" and "go to Hell."  The November 2012 speaker has direct personal experience with these clubs, attending them as a child and working to defend them in court as an adult.  Becoming a parent changed his point of view about the value of teaching very young children the "good news" about hell, sin, and eternal damnation in the public schools (see www.intrinsicdignity.com).
