Why Government Schools Are a Problem
In this episode of the Current Reality Podcast, hosts Michael and Wade consider how Christian families should navigate "public", or government schools. They expose the assumption of these schools' neutrality, discussing content like LGBTQ curriculum and climate change education, and the overall feminization of the teaching environment. They provide a historical perspective on compulsory education, critique the arguments for staying in public schools, and emphasize the importance of a Christian-based education. Citing Deuteronomy 6:4-9, the hosts stress the parents’ responsibility to embed biblical teachings in children’s daily lives, advocating for homeschooling or Christian schools as viable alternatives. Offering pastoral guidance and testimonies, the episode underlines that parents, supported by their church and the gospel's foundation, are uniquely positioned to fulfill the spiritual and educational needs of their children.
