I agree, our public schools have gone to the pits. But it was not so with its foundations.
Martin Luther[in 1620] said: “I afaid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they deliigently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.
“I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.”
When my wife of 54 years[today] taught in the projects [1970-1980] and found a great side benefit in teaching the Bible to these students: “It was they learned to read, then they became good students, and completed their education, some even through college.”
In 1965 we had a rise of CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. MY 2 SONS WERE BORN IN 1966 AND 1975 then, our daughter in 1973, so we were in the middle of new changes in education.
Everything that socialism and secularization touches goes to the pits. We will see the same horrific pattern with Obamacare as we saw with government owned and run education. At first it won't be so bad due to the values of the workers trained under our current system. In a generation or two is when the real horror will begin.
And.....Many conservatives will pine for the day of the 2020’s when health care was still decent, and complete fail to recognize that it was godless socialism and worship of the state that destroyed our hospitals, clinics, and medical and nursing schools.
