Is it a sin to send our kids to public school?

A slew of research shows that America is losing the conservative Christian youth in massive droves. These studies show a generation being increasingly won over to a socialistic/secular-humanistic worldview in spite of the American church increasing their apologetic courses, children's programs, youth rallies and books and sermon series on child training.

What is happening? Could it be that we are doing something wrong? I would make the case that we are blatantly sinning in sending our kids to places that are, in fact, causing them to fall away. Let me lay out the case in three simple points.

( SNIP)

2. Is there any convincing evidence that a secular-humanistic public education is causing kids to stumble and fall away from the church?

* 88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18;

* 83 percent of children from committed Christian families attending public schools adopt a Marxist-socialist worldview;

* Mounting evidence that the public schools are successfully converting covenant children to secular humanism;

* Nehemiah Institute's graph showing the shocking result of a 20-year study on approximately 60,000 youth in 50 states from churchgoing families.

If anyone’s an apologist for baal worship it’s those seeing a phallus everywhere and anywhere.

That is like saying that Joseph McCarthy was a communist apologist.

Ficticious and illogical.

The person making the assertion should be backing it up, but I’m not expecting much from someone who sees sex in everything.
