I appreciate the efforts of conservative groups like the Family Research Council. There are other good groups of mainly concerned Christians organized to sound the alarm on moral issues and call the church to action.
Like a number of you, I have watched these efforts (and to some degree participated in them) for the last 40 years. Certainly when it comes to the stewardship of our government we simply must fight the battle for religious freedom and do everything possible to preserve our constitutional republic.
However, with that said the church in America is coming up woefully short in its resolve to deal with the foundational problem we face. The foundational problem is the utter corruption of education in America. The impact of godless education is slowly driving the nails in the coffin of our once strong republic.
Here is another case in point. The headline above says "The Sex Ed Secrets the Schools Don't Want You to Know." The article proceeds to sound the alarm and call parents to action. Of course, if the past 60 years is any indication very little will happen to change anything.
Instead the progressives will have their way as parents continue to send their children to schools where God, Christ, and His word are no where to be found in the daily instruction of students. In the place of godly instruction the children from Christian homes will be subjected to a world of unbelief and immorality.
Of course of even greater importance is the neglect of developing our children in the faith. Evidently most Christian parents do not understand education is first and foremost about this priority. I encourage you to study the points laid out in my article "Why We Need a Private K-12 Christian School."
I also encourage parents to read the article from the Family Research Council and stay informed about what is going on in our public schools. Quite frankly, if in the process of attempting to work for change (removing the ungodly influences engulfing our schools) it becomes obvious your children are at great risk, then break the yoke with the system. After all, we are not called to save a "system," rather we are called to train our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
