Truth Tribe with Douglas Groothuis

Defending Christian Education: Countering 10 Criticisms


Listen Later

Many arguments are marshaled against Christian schools and Christian home-schooling K-12. Those, such as myself who categorically reject state (public) education as anti-Christian, inefficient, and inherently unfair are in for some lively debates. The objections raised must be met.

Recommended Reading:

  1. Blumenfeld, Samuel. Is Public Education Necessary? (Old Greenwich: The Devin-Adair Company, 1981), 263 pages. A scholarly and cogent treatment of the development of public education. Dissipates a score of popular misconceptions. Excellent.
  2. Hegseth, Peter and David Goodwin, The Battle for the American Mind (Broadside Books, 2022). Explains the nature and inherent problems in state education and proposes a Christian alternative.
  3. Gato, John Taylor, Weapons of Mass Instruction A Schoolteacher's Journey Through the Dark World of Compulsory Schooling (New Society Publishers, 2010).
  4. Rushdoony, Rousas John. The Messianic Character of American Education (Ross House books, reprint, 1995). A classic.
