The statistics from the Barna foundation show that the faith of very few children manage to survive this constant godless indoctrination. Of children from highly active evangelical homes, only 15% remain active in their faith 2 years after graduation. It can only be far worse from less active or less committed Christian families.
So?...**I** am the person who made the comparison to working in an abortion center. Little baby bodies are aborted in these centers, but in government schools it is the faith of children that is aborted. Which is worse? Hm? At least the pre-born fly directly to the arms of a loving God. Those who lose their faith risk serious temporal and even eternal suffering.
As for your Christian friends who believe they are “called” to work in schools dedicated to godlessness?...well?....I suggest that they take the Barna foundation facts to the Lord, pray about it, and see if there some other way to reach these children, co-workers, and parents.
One of the problems with Christians teaching in the godless schools is that they may beguile parents. Gee! If the minister's wife or sweet Mrs. Honey Bun works in the local godless school, hey! it can't be **that** bad! ( But it is **that** bad!)
Ok...So let's address the issue of what would happen to children if all Christians and conservatives left the government schools tomorrow, and voted to have them all shut down by Friday? Seriously, what would happen?
Answer: There would be chaos for about 2 weeks. By the end of the month, churches, and local community groups would have responded. Within 6 months millions would be pouring into private voucher foundations so that every child would have access to a private education. Dame schools and one room schools would form in homes of trusted neighbors. The local Kinder Care would open elementary schools. The Karate studio would start a school as well as the local children's theater. The parks and recreation departments would take over team sports, orchestra, band, and cheerleading.
If you think that children would be abandoned if Christians and conservatives left the government schools and voted to close them then you have little faith not only in your fellow Americans but also God.
Interesting call for chaos as a means to foment change. I believe your assessment of the time it would take for things to improve is overly optimistic. Maybe not for the comfortable suburbs (though I am skeptical even there), but for many in the inner cities chaos is a polite euphemism for the end result. Somalia might be a better description.
As I said before, we can respectfully disagree. So with all due respect, I will keep my school teacher friends whom you consider so evil.
