Shedding light in dark places
It is distressing to have great intellectual and moral concerns reduced to the cartoonish, both in the form of animated film and the posturing of some who wish to fight the culture wars at this level.
Most who accept the label "conservative Christian," or its synonyms, spend too much time throwing stones at the cultural citadels and too little acquiring and developing the skills and knowledge to compete in the ideological and cultural arena.
It has not always been so. Historically, Christians dominated the professions, not solely by force of law, but by the power of their ideas and example.
The rest of the article by Cal Thomas is here. It's about winning in the cultural arena.

"Public school "teachers" are not qualified to teach children whose IQ is above average. Whether they are qualified to teach their mentally retarded equals is questionable at best."
your wickedness.
You're a piece of work.
Fine examples of good Chritian/Moral behavior? LOL
Their ****homeschooled**** children were kept out of sight and state-required checks did not apply.
Authorities say John and Linda Dollar used a cattle prod, a hammer, pliers, a vise and starvation to punish five of the eight children in their care. But why did no one notice?
School would be a logical place for someone to raise a concern. But the Dollars educated their children at home.

Would it be fair to characterize all homeschoolers like these people? I don't think so. No more than it is to condemn all teachers as being incompetent and having an "agenda" to corrupt kids, whatever.
Thanks for posting this.
