I am reminded of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. The Iranians used little children to sweep the fields for landmines. After the children were blown up, then the adult soldiers passed through the fields.
Sending children into the atheistic government schools is like using children as spiritual landmine sweepers!!! YES! It is **that** serious! Geeze! The Iranian children merely lost their lives. Our children lose their eternal souls!
If every Christian removed their child from the government schools, and then organized a school tax revolt at the polls, the atheistic Marxist government schools could be closed completely down within a year!
That is the solution that is needed.
The government schools system isn't broken. There is nothing to “take back”. The goal of the government schools from the very inception has been **socialism**! Their goal has always been to create good little workers who worship the state. It is doing an excellent job! It is working perfectly!!!
In the past our family values were able overcome the influences of the socialistic government schools, but with each generation the government school indoctrination makes more and more inroads. We are not at a critical point. The government schools must be SHUT DOWN. The best way to do that is to remove your kids and organize a legal tax revolt.
I’m not saying that anyone has to send their kids to public schools. I’m saying that they should ALSO try to mend the public schools.
There are several reasons.
1. We should be concerned about how our neighbors’ kids are being educated, as well as our own.
2. We should be concerned about the culture. Sure, Christians sometimes have to deal with unfriendly cultures and even persecution. But this used to be a Christian nation. Should we just sit on our hands while it is turned into something evil?
3. The more our neighbors’ kids are miseducated, the more they will vote for leftist politicians determined to drive Christianity out of the public sphere.
4. If this is a free country, then we need a certain mass of religious training and belief among the voters to keep our freedoms. Otherwise, we will descend into some sort of evil totalitarian state. Will we then be given the choice to homeschool our kids? If we pass a certain tipping point, the politicians might just take that right to educate our kids away from us. Then the fat will really be in the fire.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Obama outlawed homeschooling. The teachers union would love it.
Agree 100%. When we told people in our former church that we were homeschooling our children, they responded by saying they wanted their children to be salt and light. I told them that I wasn't willing to sacrifice my children on the altar of salt and light. Of course they have made a huge impact to people they do come in contact with. They are a joy to be around and that is in large part because they have been kept away from negative influence.
