You were one of the lucky 15%.
When I see odds with 95% homeschoolers remaining faithful and only 15% of government schooled kids remaining faithful and both are from highly active evangelical homes....well....it definitely needs investigating.
As for conservatives abandoning the government schools, I doubt it. Nearly 85% of the nation's children are “schooled” in our nation's godless socialist K-12 system. Where's the abandonment? If conservatives were leaving the government schools far less than 85% of the nation's kids would be attending.
Are the nation's socialist schools any less godlessly secular humanist because all those conservative kids are attending? No. It just gets worse year by year.
Are the nation's socialist k-12 schools any less socialist because conservative kids attend or so-called conservatives and Christians work there? No. Socialism is socialism and the only alternative would be to make them private, but then they would be private and not socialist.
Simply by attending children risk learning that government and the voting mobs give them tuition-free schooling. Well? Why not use government and the voting mob to get lots of “free” socialist goodies. It only took one to three generations of socialist schooling to give the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt for four terms.
Finally, children who attend godlessly secular schools will learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom, read the text, and do assignments. How could it be otherwise?
Opening the very first socialist-entitlement school systems ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) was a catastrophe. Curriculum and teacher training has always been under progressive control. While at first they offered up a lukewarm and generic Protestantism, the push has always been toward complete godless secularism. By the way, you know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth.
Government socialist-entitlement schooling has **always** been an abomination.
Personally, I consider government schooling sooooooo evil and such a threat to our nation's freedom that I will NOT have a government teacher for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, too much of a Useful Idiot, or are more committed to their paycheck than to their so-called “conservative” or “Christian” principles. Government teachers are hurting children every day that they cooperate with this evil system. I am done with them!
If conservatives and Christians **really** loved children they would do two things:
1) Work to see that every child in this nation has access to a non-Prussian style, **private***, conservative education that upholds Judeo/Christian values, and our nation's founding principles.
2) Work to see that every godless socialist-entitlement school in this nation is shut down and padlocked, and sold to the highest bidder. Many of them would make great nursing homes and rehab centers.
Vouchers, tax credits, and charters may help build the infrastructure needed, but the end goal must be complete separation of school and state on every level from pre-k to graduate school.
Hear, hear! I could mega-ditto every post of yours regarding our godless indoctrination camps.
