Controversial UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell has said that he wants parents to remove their children from public schools immediately.
In the fourth episode of his ArkanSanity podcast, Mitchell made his position crystal clear. “If you’re a Christian, you cannot allow your kids to go into these facilities,” he stated. “I would rather sh**t somebody and k*ll them d*ad than to have my son go into that room with those per**rts.”
Mitchell, who homeschools his own child, argues that America’s public education system has become what he describes as an “Orwellian” institution that operates contrary to its stated purpose.
Drawing parallels to George Orwell’s “1984,” the UFC star contends that the country’s education program functions as a “deducation program” designed to undermine traditional Christian values.
Mitchell grounded his position in scripture, citing Genesis 1:28 and Deuteronomy 6:7 to emphasize parental responsibility for teaching children. “As a parent, that is your job,” he explained, referencing the biblical mandate for parents to instruct their children throughout daily life.
Mitchell’s concerns extend beyond educational philosophy to what he perceives as anti-Christian messaging in classrooms.
“They’re going to tell your kid anti-science. They’re going to tell your kid, ‘You come from a monkey. You have no soul,'” Mitchell argued, framing the issue as incompatible with Christian beliefs about human creation and divine purpose.
Mitchell also made specific allegations about textbook publishers and school photography companies, claiming they have connections to predatory behavior.
He referenced McGraw-Hill textbooks and LifeTouch photography services, stating, “The companies that publish your kids’ textbooks, or the companies that go take your kids’ photos, if your kid goes to a public school, guess what? They’re all predators.”
The featherweight contender acknowledged the practical challenges of homeschooling, particularly for working parents, but maintained his uncompromising stance.
“I know people are going to be working their job. They’re going to say they don’t have time to do it. I’m just going to tell you personally, I would make time,” he said. “My kid will never be taught by nobody but us.”
