I couldn’t agree more. There is NO HOPE of bringing our country back to traditional morals and beliefs as long as the enemy controls the public schools. And the preferred solution is not to retreat into the equivalent of desert monateries while the world goes to hell, but to convert the world.
Not everyone can afford to home school their children, financially or intellectually or morally. People pay taxes to support the public schools, yet are expected to send their kids to private religious schools or homeschool them as well.
No, we need to take back the public schools.
As things stand, conservative, Christian families have far more kids than liberals, but liberals take those kids and pervert them. That’s the only reason why the culture continues to move left.
I once thought, for instance, that as abuses in our public colleges continued to multiply, with kids being taught to bend gender and hate their parents, legislators would finally act. Well, they haven’t. Instead, they are busy supporting gay rights in public colleges. That kind of thing will only end if the religious conservatives get serious about ending it, instead of thinking they can isolate their kids from the culture in cocoons. Unfortunately, those kids will eventually have to go out into the world and deal with it.
Augustine lays it out in “The City of God.” Christians are like exiles in this world, but as long as they are living in the eartnly city they owe it to their neighbors and themselves to try to make that city a better place, even though their true home is the Heavenly City. The left is very happy when they can drive Christian conservatives back into their homes and keep them out of politics. And the worst thing about RINO politicians is that they love to help the Democrats disenfranchise religious conservatives. They cannot be allowed to succeed.

Just sent this to a friend of mine who is a principal at a Catholic School.
Thank the nearest liberal for the disaster called public education!
One of the reasons it is so difficult to reform public schools is because when a new superintendent comes in (or a new school board for that matter) he brings his own curriculum choices and methods and expects everyone to follow them. So, if a school is doing fairly well and test scores are fairly good, you run the risk of a board appointing a superintendent who thinks he’ll “make it better.” These superintendents stay for a couple of years, not even completing their contracts, and then take off to greener pastures, many times leaving a disaster in their wake and a chaotic future for the next district that gets them. Too many fads and damaging ones at that.
I’ve seen it happen and it ain’t pretty.
46% of Mass attending Catholics voted for the Death Eater Obama.
Perhaps if Catholic children had been removed from government schools, we would not have had this massive number of Catholics voting for an abortion and infanticide supporting presidential candidate.
Kansas City offers every Catholic child in its diocese a tuition **FREE** Catholic education. All Christians ( Catholic and Protestant) could learn from this example.
