Exactly!!!
It **IS** about values, morals, ethics, and ideals...ALL of which have religious consequences!
So...What are Christian government teachers doing about it? As I see it there are only 2 possible choices for a true Christian teacher:
1) The Christian teacher can vehemently oppose, protest, completely reject, and absolutely refuse to cooperate with any other teacher or principal in the implementation of 777. In other words, they will likely get fired!
2) Quit!
There is NO other possible ethical behavior open to a TRUE Christian.
If the so-called “Christian” teacher cooperates with SB 777, he or she is teaching the students some very negative lessons to the students about Christianity and Christians.
If the so-called “Christian” teacher falsely thinks that they can slyly sneak a little salt and light to their students, then they are teaching the students that Christians are sneaky and sly.
If they tell the students that they don’t agree with the SB777 policies, but then cooperate, they are teaching the students that Christians are too fearful, timid, and lukewarm in their faith too tell this to the adults running the school, but will inflict these false and hurtful policies on CHILDREN, and apologize while doing it!
If so-called Christian teachers continue to open the doors to government schools that enforce SB777, then they are teaching the students that Christians will sell their Christian principles for a paycheck, health benefits, a summer vacation, and a pension!
One teacher complained asked me, “How would I make a living?” Well!...If Christian teachers stay on the job because they are afraid to leave then they are teaching the children that Christians do not trust God’s Providence, and also that Christians are too stupid and fearful to make a living in the free market.
Only 85% of children from Christian families remain faithful in their religion 2 years after graduating from government high school. Compare this to the 90% or more of homeschoolers who DO remain faithful. Could it be the example of their TEACHERS that is making the difference?
So-called “Christian” teachers who cooperate with SB777 are making the job of the TRUE missionaries MUCH harder! If Christ would spit lukewarm, sneaky, sly, timid, stupid, and fearful Christians out of HIS mouth, personally, I am not at all surprised that students do as well!
Christian teachers should be doing the following:
1) Their own children are their most important mission field. They should get their own kids out of the government school swamps.
2) The children of their congregation are their next most important mission field. Christian teachers should be working with their ministers to organize mini-schools, micro-schools, one room school houses, homeschool cooperatives,etc. Christian teachers could be a tremendous resource for the members of their congregations.
3)Once their congregation has a well functioning system of schools, then non-members could be invited in, but only to the extent that it does not overwhelm the Christian culture of the school. Christian teachers could teach these non-members how to be good parents, and how to establish a learning centered home. These non-members could be introduced to the gospel.
4)Every child who wants a Christian education should be able to get one...for FREE! Christians should be organizing private voucher foundations to provide private vouchers to private Christian schools. These Christian foundations could provide inspection, certification, and testing for the private schools. If Harvard can have a $35 BILLION dollar endowment...surely Christians could do the same for Christian education! They could do it if they WANTED.
5) Christian teachers should be working with relatives, friends, and neighbors to see that government school indoctrination camps were completely and totally SHUT DOWN! They can not be reformed! Compulsory government owned and run K-12 schools was a flawed concept from the beginning.
6) It is time that Christians organized their own sports teams. It is time to break the government school monopoly on team sports!
It is time that EVERY child who wanted it, was receiving the BEST education in the WORLD!...a TRUE Christian education!
Christian teachers should stop using a watering can to sprinkle a little faith on the cultural forest fire that is raging in their government school! The only solution to completely shut down all government K-12 schools and develop a universal private system of K-12 education.
