Dr. Dobson's broadcast, heard by 200 million people daily in over 100 countries, sparked latent interest among concerned parents seeking an end to government-controlled schooling. New signers of the Alliance's Internet-based "Proclamation for the Separation of School and State" increased from an average of five per day to over 100 per day in the week following Dobson's bold comments on his radio broadcast on March 28 when he said: "In the state of California, if I had a child there, I wouldn't put the youngster in a public school.... I think it's time to get our kids out." When Dr. Laura said on her April 9 broadcast, "I stand with Dr. James Dobson: Take your kids out of public schools," she went even beyond Dr. Dobson, who had limited his comments to California. On the same day, popular Christian talk show host Marlon Maddoux also gave his support to Dr. Dobson. "Our mission is to re-establish parental control of education by eliminating the government control which has led to propaganda masquerading as education," said Alliance president Marshall Fritz. Evangelical Protestant Reverend E. Ray Moore, founder of ExodusMandate.org, and longtime supporter of the Alliance, reacted to Dobson's remarks by saying, "This could be one of the most important broadcasts Dr. Dobson has ever made. I know people are writing him from around the country urging him to sound the warning that public schools are dangerous to the faith and morals of Christian children in their states, too, maybe almost as bad as California." The Alliance for the Separation of School and State was founded in 1994 by parents, educators, and others to inform people how education can be improved by removing politics from education. The Alliance crosses nearly all political and religious boundaries. Members and supporters believe that politics and education don't mix and wish to liberate K-12 schools from state, local, and federal government control. The Proclamation's signers include Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza; Prof. Thomas Szasz, author of "The Myth of Mental Illness;" 1991 New York State Teacher of the Year, John Taylor Gatto; home school leader Mary Pride; Cato Institute President Edward Crane; Conservative Caucus founder Howard Phillips; Minority Leader of the Colorado State Senate, John K. Andrews, Jr.; and religious leaders Dr. Tim LaHaye, author of the popular "Left Behind" series; Dr. D. James Kennedy, Brig. Gen T.C. Pinckney, USAF ret., 2nd VP of the Southern Baptist Convention, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and the late Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. The Proclamation can be signed via the Internet at http://www.SepSchool.org/Proclamation. More information, including a complete list of proclamation signers, can be found at that website.

Her father had relinquished his faith years before, and her mother got no acceptance from her father's family. Frequent fights between her parents led her to resentment and rejection of her upbringing. Her early school life consisted of cocky and outspoken classroom behavior while maintaining a relatively distant social life with no boyfriends and very few close friends. In college she met dentist, Dr. Michael Rudolph and began a relationship with him that would end in her first marriage. Two and a half years later, Laura would distance herself from her husband, initiate her divorce and move to Los Angeles to start her life over again. There she called in to radio talk show host, Bill Balance, on his show Feminine Forum. Discussing the topic of whether women would rather be widows or a divorcees, Laura chimed in with confidence and charm that being a widow left no room for guilt or regret over decisions. Plus, everyone came over and cooked for you. Balance quickly recognized her communicative skills and asked her to join him once per week as a guest speaker. She accepted and succeeded, eventually becoming one of his most popular guests. Balance's interests were romantic as well as professional, and the two began a relationship that lasted quite a while, but that Laura denied until photo evidence arose of their sexual escapades. Balance commented that she should have been called Ku Klux, since she was "a wizard in the sheets." While dating Balance, Laura was taking classes at USC to get her Doctorate in Physiology. One of her teachers was Lew Bishop, and his interest in her ended up being quite strong. Attracted to her for her mind and her strong interest in science, he eventually started spending his spare time with her. And while Laura stated in recent interviews that she dated Lew while he was separated from his wife, Jeanne, friends and family state that Lew's divorce was based solely around the time he spent with Laura Schlessinger. Bishop had three children at the time. That's right, friends and family, Dr. Laura was a home wrecker. Additionally, when Lew and Jeanne got their divorce, he didn't pay his child support and alimony payments and prescribed in the divorce decree. Dr. Laura's future husband was a deadbeat dad! Jeanne Bishop had to go to court to get him to pay his allocated sum, and it should be pointed out that his relationship with his children effectively ended with his marriage to Laura in 1984. She had no interest in his past family. At this point, Laura had become Dr. Laura, and had attained a certificate in marriage, family, and child counseling, but her degree was still in Physiology. She set up a practice as a family therapist in 1981, and continued her stints on various radio and television talk shows for quite a while. Her parents had been divorced, her relationship with her sister strained the point of collapse, and her desire for a child got her to reverse her tubal ligation performed years before. After the birth of her son, she kept her practice going two days a week, and even had a close friendship with one of her patients that got her a personal baby-sitter at times. She would get her patients to become active in her other ventures, like her knitting classes and karate classes, failing to maintain a professional distance from those she was aspiring to help. All this from the woman who now denounces other mothers who work with young children.
