Most of our schools teach almost nothing of importance, and nothing is more important than the study of good and evil. In the United States today, nearly all schools, from elementary through graduate, concentrate on teaching about racism, sexism, preferred pronouns, homophobia, transphobia, LGBTQIA+, climate change, diversity, equity, inclusiveness and white guilt. In other words, most of our educational institutions, including the most prestigious, do not educate.
Here are a few proofs.
It is almost certain that the great majority of American high school and college students (with the obvious exceptions of Christian students) could not name the Four Gospels (presuming they even know what they are); five of the Ten Commandments (presuming they know what those are); or the names of two Shakespeare plays.
Most American students know little about the American Revolution, let alone about the French or Russian Revolutions. The same holds true for the Constitution and every other American founding document. It is doubtful that, other than Washington and Jefferson having owned slaves, American students know anything about these men or could name two other Founders.
When it comes to evil, the ignorance is enormous, often almost total. For example, according to Pew, about half of Americans ages 18-39 cannot identify Auschwitz or any other Nazi death camp. And there is every reason to assume that much fewer than half could identify the Gulag Archipelago (20 million-plus murdered); the Ukrainian forced famine (5 to 6 million murdered in a little over a year); Mao's Great Leap Forward (about 60 million murdered); or Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge (about one in every four Cambodians murdered).
As noted, almost no one outside of Russia has ever heard of the Russian Civil War, let alone knows anything about it. One reason is that the winners, the communists, had no desire that people know about it. Yet, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, about 10 million people, the great majority noncombatants, were killed.
Why don't students know about evil?
The first reason is that nearly all the genocides of the 20th century were committed by communists, and the Left, which runs virtually all educational institutions, has always had a soft spot for communism. If people were to recognize that communism has been the greatest source of evil in the modern age in terms of numbers murdered, number of lives destroyed, liberty stolen, and the sheer amount of human suffering inflicted (greater by those metrics than those of the Nazis before they were forcibly stopped), the Left would lose much of its appeal.
Another reason is the foolish notion that people are basically good. This has been a left-wing belief since the French Enlightenment leader Jean-Jacques Rousseau came up with the idea. As he wrote in his book, "On Philosophy, Morality, and Religion," "Man is a naturally good being, loving justice and order; there is no natural perversity in the human heart... All the vices imputed to the human heart are not natural to it."
This nonsense had been foreign to the Western mind. Its view of humanity was rooted in the Bible, and neither Bible-based religion -- Judaism or Christianity -- affirmed the goodness of the human heart. As Genesis states, "The will of man's heart is evil from his youth," and the rest of the Bible repeatedly warns us against following our hearts.
However, as the West began to abandon the Bible, including belief in the God of the Bible, Westerners began to believe in man. As Marx put it, "Man is God." People had no choice. For if there is no God to believe in, one must believe in man -- or one has literally nothing to believe in. Therefore, belief in man's inherent goodness became both psychologically and philosophically necessary.
A third reason follows from the second. With the exception of the mass murder of the Armenians (which was committed by Muslim Turks), the genocides and the other horrors of the 20th century were committed by secular regimes. Given the centrality of secularism to leftism, this fact has been kept from young people. Likewise, the fact that all these genocides were committed by big governments is not taught to young people because big government is also central to left-wing ideology. In other words, a true depiction of the evils of the 20th century would mean the end of the two pillars of left-wing ideology: secularism and big government.
If you want to make a more moral world, you must begin with the study of evil. But, for the reasons enumerated here, the Left is not -- and cannot be -- interested in fighting real evil. So, the Left fights made-up evils: American systemic racism, transphobia, capitalism, carbon emissions, sexism and former President Donald Trump, to name a few.
This is why young people know almost nothing about evil. The Left doesn't want them to know about it. Because knowledge of evil inevitably leads directly to rejection of the Left.
Very simple. Look at who is doing the teaching.
they dont know where sin came from or what to do about it .

my book
Why is the plan of God taking so long? Why has the God of the Bible not ended sin when it started? The plan of God reveals the cause of sin, the curse of sin, the course of sin and the cure for sin. Men are commanded to to repent of their sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ yet they do not know more than just the simple command to believe.
Believe what?
This book explains the “what”.

The young people will know nothing about evil untill such an event like Kristallnacht overcomes them and they are forced into cattle cars on their way to the gas chambers.
Or in modern terms, thousands of them are forced into Australian Covid Concentration Camp. Or even forced as J6 Political Prisoners into DC jails, held for years.
Most of those running the schools and doing the teaching are themselves evil.
Where are the parents? My parents taught me right from wrong, what was evil and what was good!
I absolutely DO NOT want schools pretending they know the difference between good and evil...and teaching it.
Prager is delusional if he thinks this will turn out positive.
It’s not the school’s responsibility to teach religion and it’s religion that pronounces what their gods say about good and evil. The respinsibbility to teach religion and morals falls on the parents. And the parents arent doing their jobs.
I see people in their early 40’s fail to teach their kids why manipulation is evil, or just plain wrong. It’s a thief that robs people of honest choice.
I find such parental conduct to be disgusting and infuriating. Educators are people who came from empty homes too. So are their bosses.
Because leftists refuse to acknowledge the reality of human nature.
And the evil they teach, are issues such as global warming, racism, homophobia, being Republican, etc. They consider some things as evil that none of us would think of as evil.
Every culture has some fundamental characteristics such as art, music, language, and religion. From religion there are a great many things that are derived, such as ethics and laws. It is NOT possible to understand any nation, including America, if religion is not taught. That can be done without a establishing a state religion, but it seems that educators are doing exactly the opposite. They are advocating on behalf of the religion of the woke, the climate, the sexually perverse and others. In the process, many children that don’t get religion at home never get to fully understand American culture.
Taught about evil? A guy, running for the school board in our county ( not the district where I live, is a member of the Temple of Satan, he and his whole family. He was the Communication director for the town where I live and led the city council to actions that were so juvenile that they were reported in the Daily Mail.
He issued a warning against a man that he described as a right wing cultist, who he said was putting up posters in our town. No one ever saw the posters or heard of the guy. It turns out that he lives in Canada. Anyway this warning that the city council sent out, was in CODE! The first letter of every line spelled out something. I don’t even remember what their secret message was, it was just so juvenile that it made the whole council sound like fools.
Now he wants to get on the school board where he lives.
Here is what is happening in America and the world 🌎🌍:
Judges 2:10-12
King James Version
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.

Just another reason I am certain of the late hour and that Satan’s Antichrist is coming, if not already here and working behind the scenes already.

This is why the propaganda media in the US took it upon themselves in the 2000 election to switch the colors for the two parties. All references to communism such as in literature, news articles, etc. throughout most of the 20 century talked about the red Chinese, the red scare, etc. The propaganda media did not want red/communism stigma associated with the Democrats even though it is perfect for the Democrats.
Evil is powerfully seductive and as addictive as heroin. It's going to take more than just "teaching."
That's the only question that matters. Unfortunately the obvious answer is neglecting their kids. Otherwise there wouldn't be these popular articles blame shifting to the schools for everything wrong with younger people.
Darwinism made men and women subjects of the Creation...not the Creator
Evil, doesn’t teach about evil...
Evil will find them.
Define evil.
