Education is an area that Christians often believe to be ‘neutral territory.’ It doesn’t really matter where kids go to school so long as they receive a ‘quality’ education and education is totally separate from ‘religion.’ You believe kids can be immersed in secular education and cultivate a Christian mindset. You believe your kids can stay on the narrow path while wallowing in the ditch with pagans.

I’m thrilled that the NCAA nominated a dude for ‘Woman of the Year.’ Now I don’t need to convince you that the institutions of ‘higher learning’ are unholy vessels of depraved wickedness. They are proclaiming their mindlessness themselves! The futility of pagan philosophy is written in national headlines.

The people you are paying to fill your child’s head with ideas are nominating dudes for women’s awards. If this is your idea of ‘neutral’ behavior, then teach it to your kids when they’re preschoolers. Encourage them to get into vans with nice strangers who offer them quality candy. It’s pretty dumb to worry about strangers in vans when they’re little and turn them over to strangers in classrooms a few years later.

“John, you jerk! Not all teachers are depraved! Some teachers are fine Christians!”

Right. Some fine Christians drive around in vans offering candy to kids. Pray to God that your kid gets picked up by someone who follows Jesus. And I must point out that you’re not neutral. You prefer your child be influenced by Christians. This is good! Keep doing it.

It’s challenging to convince Americans that evil is mankind’s default position. When people testify to their own wickedness, it would be wise to believe them.

(Ephesians 4:17) “So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.”
