Great idea...scriptural this is extremely sound...your not to let unbelievers mess with your kids minds...

It’s a good start, but I’d rather like to see the church train the parents to disciple their own children in their home.
Never thought I’d say this, but...
Church of God, take note of what the Baptists are doing.
GOOD JOB!
And welcome to FR.
They won't be able to while the kids are being discipled for those 8 hours under someone else's mentoring in the brick and mortar schools.
With some experience as a teacher — parents are at a huge disadvantage. Their kids spend 7 hours a day every weekday in a propaganda work shop. The few hours spent in church and in moral teaching in the home per week is out gunned at least ten to one. You lose. The kids will be NEA indoctrinated.
Godspeed,
My grandkids go to a non denominational school. The doctrine is the same as Baptist though.
Well, we had better wait and see if they really get around to it.
The Southern Baptists have “Bible” colleges and Cemeteries (I mean) Seminaries, that have infidel professors who deny the biblicist fundamentals of the faith. Would their Christian day schools have higher standards?
If Southern Baptists are just waking up to this, they are 30 to 40 years now behind other Baptists (independents, Free Will, other). Not all independent Baptist churches have their own schools, but the Christian school movement is VERY strong among them, and has been for 40 years. Not only independent Baptists, but their doctrinal counterparts in the Bible Church movement have had access to very highly developed Christian school curricula for a whole generation. The most popular standard ones appear to be:
A Beka Book, Pensacola (Baptistic)
Bob Jones University (Baptistic)
Accelerated Christian Education, Texas (Generic)
Liberty Baptist Curriculum, Indianapolis (Baptist)
Then, there is the home school movement in which Baptists have also been heavily involved in for a whole generation now. Baptist folks who home school their children often use one or more of the above sources, along with Mennonite (Rod & Staff Publishers, etc) and others.
Southern Baptists have their own publishing facilities (Nashville), and could easily, I’m sure come out with their own curricula to encourage Southern Baptist churches to establish schools.
There has been a problem with many church schools which is that the schools are often used more for REVENUE for the church more than for the instilling of spiritual principles in young people. That is a wrong motivation, in our view.
I will be interested to see what the Southern Baptists do (their churches are said to be autonomous). I suspect that the result will be rather liberal in nature.
**”Southern Baptists see the new religious establishment in this country as secularism,”**
I think they have thought that for a long time.
Catholics, too, fight secularism and the views of the media each and every day.
Choose homeschooling, parochial schools. Take the children out of the public schools!
>>here is a website that has supplements tailored to each of the big three biology school textbooks sections on evolution. A student can just click on the picture of their textbook and it will take them to a series of word documents that can be downloaded, printed off, stapled together, and placed in their textbooks. That way, as each section is brought up in class they have material that gives the other side of the story...
http://www.textbookaccuracy.org<<
I’d be cautious before recommending or using that site. I only did some spot checking but found inaccuracies and misleading statements above th frequency I would expect or tolerate in a high school resource.
I consider homeschooling the ideal, but I’m always glad to see parents taking responsibility for their children’s schooling. When this leads them to take their children out of government schools, it has the happy side benefit of reducing the government’s power.
Yep, it’s time to get the hell out of the pubic schools!
Baptist ping:
What to do, What to do?
How can you be the salt of the earth if you
are still in the shaker. And how can you
provide the best education for your kids
in govt schools at the same time?
You’re pretty uninformed. The ‘Hail Mary’ is derived directly from Sacred Scripture which most Baptists accept as unerring truth.

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my daughter. Last year she attended kindergarten in the public school. Tomorrow she starts first grade at Norfolk Christian School.
Remember we are talking about Baptist here. So which book out of the 66 books and verse out of the bible are you referring to here?
