“Governmental monopolization of the education of children guarantees that all our religious and moral differences will be constantly politicized.”

http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2011/05/3263/

[So, given what local, state, and federal governments done to public education, what have “Christians” — specifically professing  evangelicals  — done in response?]

[E]vangelicals have… been guilty of criticizing homeschooling on the grounds that it leaves children un-socialized — even though that socialization is into a secular worldview that exalts progress over tradition, utilitarianism over moral and ethical absolutes, empiricism and scientism over a metaphysical view of reality, and forced conformity over the nurture and celebration of unique individuals with unique gifts and talents.  That so many evangelicals today take for granted [the secular lies] that beauty is [always[ relative, that egalitarianism and inclusivism are the core of Jesus’ teaching, and that equity is always to be preferred to elitism [&] hierarchy offers sad proof to how fully (and uncritically) [evangelicals] have absorbed the progressivism of [government] schools and colleges.  Is it any wonder then that evangelicals have fallen prey to the latest educational fads?  Out of a praiseworthy desire to foster racial reconciliation and advocate for groups that have been historically marginalized, manipulated, or abused, we have opened ourselves to a Critical Race Theory (CRT)-based, resentment studies-based vision of education.  In conscious opposition to the biblical teaching that we are all made in God’s image (and therefore have essential value and worth) but are fallen and depraved (and therefore are equally prone to sin, rebellion, and evil), the pedagogical merchants of CRT and resentment divide all groups into oppressor (evil) or oppressed (good), victimizer (irredeemably vicious) or victim (innately virtuous).  And [those evangelicals] are more than willing to alter [their own children’s] reading of literature, history, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, and the arts to prop up their [anti-Christ-ian] identity politics.

http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20120216/WDH0101/302170017/No-religious-valentines-Sheboygan-school-tells-2nd-grader

[Hey, Valentine’s Day was  never intended  to be a religious holiday anyway.]

[And don’t try that pitiful old ploy of claiming that it is we liberals who are intolerant of religious Valentine’s cards.]

[We are, but that still doesn’t give you a right to point that out!]

“… the main thing [liberals] object to is that [displaying pictures of murdered unborn children] is Christian speech, that it’s moral speech… across the board in [government] education today, [liberals] don’t want Christian speech.

It is only the American flag, and words associated with Judeo-Christian points of view, upon which the nation was founded, that the school bureaucrats, and the 9th Circuit judges find might give offense.
