It hurts, but we've decided that we cannot sacrifice our daughter on the "free" altar of the hateful, anti-American public schools. They are the greatest threat that we face to thew future of America.
Any Christian who doesn't either homeschool or send their child to a reputable Christian school is breaking God's commandment to "train up a child in the way he should go" - Proverbs 22:6.
Amen to everything you said!!!
But this one bears repeating ...

A Lutheran take on this issue: Parents are placed in the position of authority over their children. It is the parents job to educate the child. The parent may choose to place their child in a school or do it themselves. If they use a school, the parents are temporarily transfering that authority to the teachers.
A parent better be very sure of who those teachers are and what they will be teaching the child. The teachers are doing your job for you!
“Mrs. Thorne and I send Little Miss Perfect Thorne to an evangelical Christian school. She’s moving into middle school there next year with an attendant $4,000 rise in tuition.

As a Christian who has been called to teach in a public school I find your post extremely offensive. If the Lord has led you to home school or to send your child to a private school, by all means do so. But just as Jesus rebuked Peter when he question what John’s call would be, you have no right to tell other Christians they must follow your call.
Whenever this subject comes up on FR I am reminded that there are still plenty of Pharisees around today.
