Having been involved in both environments I have known good teachers in the public schools and foolish to bad teachers in a private, Christian school environment. My real concern is that we not turn th Gospel into an ideology by which we judge some people good and some evil. We are called to be in the world. Sometimes that does require that we have sinners, fools, liberals and Democrats as friends.
Those are all valid points. But wintertime also makes a strong case. The government schools are necessarily destructive, because they are godless. Teaching at a government school makes one a proximate cause of godless schooling. In order to awaken teachers to this fact, one may make a legitimate, prudential decision to un-friend them.
So?.....Do you think Christians should work in abortion centers, collect the money, order supplies, sterilize the instruments, and hand assist the abortionist? Just wondering.
I bet some very sweet, but misguided people work in abortion centers who are in desperate need of hearing the Gospel.
Abortion centers kill little bodies. Children in godless government schools risk losing their eternal souls. The Barna Foundation stats for the faith of children surviving intact is grim.
