The above should read:
And,,,yes, I suggest that Christian teachers serious consider and pray about giving it up!
One more thing:
What I have posted is true. These ideas will catch on because they are true.
Thank you for what you do !!! My 3 children attended public school (with some home schooling in later years) and I was always grateful for the teachers who had the courage and wisdom to teach them a broader spectrum, to include the Judeo-Christian perspective.
Interestingly, this was most obvious in our kids’ elementary school in the music program. After the traditional teacher left, she was replaced by one whose selections strained to be politically correct. Conversely, my daughter’s high school music teacher could not have been much more outspoken in professing her beliefs and NO ONE complained. Her musical selections were exquisite.
The idea of fleeing instead of fighting the cultural war going on in education today does not help our students in public schools. Look at our inner cities schools to see the result of ‘white flight.’
The notion that all Christians should flee public school instead of staying and spreading the word would be a short term fix, at best.
