"If you like sexually transmitted diseases, shootings and high teen pregnancy rates, by all means, send your children to public schools."

Gee, it's so not like the Baptists to use fear and hyperbole to direct the actions of their congregations!

Try: use the truth to inform their independently Christ-minded, congregationalist, peers in the priesthood of believers.

Actually, the Baptists have debated this for a number of years. It's only in this last 2 years that a consensus seems to be developing.

But...that makes sense.

It's not like the public school system is serving us well; especially in urban and suburban areas.

As a teacher, I can categorically say that public school has done NOTHING in regards to equipping American Children academically. For that reason alone, people should abandon public schools in favor of private education. But beyond that, the demand of public schools to teach things contrary to the core values and beliefs of the parents of those children should cause parents to impeach the politicians who help prop up such institutions and revoke the licenses of teachers who promote liberal and anti-Christian garbage from the classroom.

Good teachers should be rewarded. Good school systems as well. Good teachers I can find. Good schools systems are few and far between.
