Oh I don’t know, Daniel and his friends attended the University of Babylon and turned out just fine.
Yes, by all means...if your child is a prophet of God who has been taken into captivity. Of course, I don’t know any public, private or home schooled child who fills the bill. But, of course, perhaps your school district is filled with them. The Bible tells us how we are to educate our children, and I missed the part that says we are to hand them over to the priests of Ba’al.
“Oh I don’t know, Daniel and his friends attended the University of Babylon and turned out just fine.”
I don’t see the parallel.
Our post-Christian culture is to a large extent a result of the government school system (plus the media, and “pastors” like this). The Barna surveys indicate that something like 80-90% of children (from Christian parents) who attend government schools leave school at age 18 with a secular humanist worldview.
The Proverbs tell us to “get wisdom” and “get understanding”. Fools are unwilling to learn. This culture, including Christians, seems largely unwilling to learn. That is why regardless of who we elect in November, the Republic as we know it could be finished in less than a generation.
Fundamentally, a child or youth in a godless classroom **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?
