Spiritual people should oppose Education Establishment

I just put an important article (at least I think it is) on American Thinker. The title is “Public Schools versus Christianity.”

In the first day the article got 125 comments, which is a good thing. The bad thing is that a lot of these comments are concerned with supporting or attacking Christianity.

I want to make a confession. My concern is not primarily with religion. I did not write the article to support Christianity.

My concern is with the misguided things going on in the public schools. I wanted to point out that these misguided things have injurious effects on intelligence and ALSO on what might be called psychological and spiritual dimensions.

 Meanwhile, there are roughly 250 million Christians in this country. But they seem not only demoralized but disorganized. If they would understand the danger to them posed by "dumbing down" in the public schools, they might fight back more aggressively. Which is frankly my hope.

I think the public schools are a threat to ALL religions, to spiritual growth generally. That’s the point of the article.

If you are a religious/spiritual person of any variety, I think you'll enjoy this article.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
