9 out of 10

So the Baptists are once again deciding whether to recommend that the faithful raise their children according to their “faith” or to abandon them to the humanistic indoctrination centers that are promoted as “Public Schools”. Go figure!

It occurs to me that at some point, those in that particular denomination are going to wake up and realize that they have been sacrificing 9 out of every 10 of their children to the world. But maybe not.. I sat in a church service a little over a year ago and listened to the pastor (on this very topic) rail on about how he hoped that there weren’t any who thought we should pull our kids out of schools in this congregation. (or words to that effect). I took him at his word and left.

So what is it that little Jenny or Johnny will be learning in school?

How to be a Muslim and pray to Mecca. Start your own JIHAD!

How to put on a condom! (Now why this is something that needs to be taught is beyond me. Anyone to dense to figure out how to put one on has no business engaging in any activity that could even remotely lead to them propagating the species. What’s next: How to put on socks? REALLY! Any teacher who really believes that this needs to be taught needs to have their lobotomy reversed.)

How to be molested by a person in power.

How the world is run by bullies and the boy with the biggest stick gets his way.

All morality is relative.

That the state (government) and their un-elected minions should have the ability to limit what you say, what you see, and stop you for no apparent reason to search you for stuff they don’t like.

Let’s face it. Government schools are little more than indoctrination centers where children are taught to be little sheep, obeying whatever whim the great and mighty government wants them to do. While some education does take place, the vast majority of it is of the type that you really don’t want little Johnny or Jenny learning.

The Protestant Church(es) were at the forefront of the common (public) school movement. The Baptists even have a training curriculum that expounds on the greatness of the Baptist Educational history. Beginning with their Sunday Schools, where they taught children to read and write using the Bible, they have aggressively advocated the popular education of all children. It’s time to repent (walk away) from this fallacy and start advocating for Parents who will take responsibility for their children’s education.
