You might be tempted to believe this episode begins in the classrooms in America.  You  would be wrong.  Where this all begins is way back in Exodus:

23      “For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
24      “And you shall observe this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
25      “When you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite.
26      “And when your children say to you, ‘What does this rite mean to you?’
27      you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’ ” And the people bowed low and worshiped.

(Exodus 12:23–27)

Do you see where the family unit was to be the primary point of education, especially concerning the LORD.  The father was also expected to be the primary example and teach the ways of the LORD.

However, when the LORD blesses a nation, it becomes prosperous and is at ease from trouble there is an inclination to put the things of GOD to the side.  Eventually, the people will toss GOD and HIS Word behind their backs.  The evil ones schemes lead to greed and every form of sin.

In America, once the government started to tax our income, it started the process of destroying the family unit.  Soon, right after the second world war, the United States became very prosperous and was the most industrial nation on the earth.  With that prosperity came greed to make more money.  With that prosperity  came a new age of sexual immorality.  Soon, both parents would have to work and education was primarily taught by the government.  Once the family became to busy and education became the responsibility of another the moral decline started to happen rapidly.

Today, we suffer from generations who are "Christian" in name only.  They claim to believe, but do not take the upbringing of the children seriously.  They say they believe but won't force their beliefs on their children.  You know who does force their belief on the children - Satan and all those who belong to him.  You know what age Satan thinks its appropriate to teach your children? Try ages 3-5.

We do not need the education of the world.  We as believers must make it our own responsibility to train up our children in the way they should go...if not, they will belong to the world.

13      But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14      You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15      and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16      All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17      so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

(2 Timothy 3:13–17)

We need Christians to be Christians and faithfully teach the Word of GOD especially to the children...or they will fall victim to the world.
