Sorry if I'm walking on trodden ground The Barbarian
Here are some non-Christian quotes from leading educators and humanists that not only prove the government tries to completely usurp all parental authority while the children are being indoctrinated with a secular-humanistic worldview, but that the
Public Schools Teach Socialism:
In 1936, the National Education Association stated its position, from which they have never wavered;
“We stand for socializing the individual.”
“The major problem of education in our times arises out of the fact that we live in a period of fundamental social change. In the new democracy [we were a Republic] education must share in the responsibility of giving purpose and direction to social change. The major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual . Education must operate according to a well-formulated social policy.” - The NEA, Policy For American Education
Socializing is to socialism as community is to communism
Quotes from Humanists:
“Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.”
“You can't make socialists out of individualists. Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.” - John Dewey, signer of the Humanist Manifesto, 1933
Dewey wants children to think for themselves, do you not?
"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" - Charles F. Potter, Humanism: A New Religion, 1930
Well if all they're getting is a an hour of religion once a week, they wouldn't be religious then, according to most Christians on this forums standards
Your quotes were as disjointed as they were unconvincing.
JUDGMENT WILL COME TO THOSE WHO REJECT GOD & SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO A HUMANISTIC, BUREAUCRATIC DAYCARE CENTER TO BE EDUCATED!!!
DXPose, you continue to fill me with a mixture of sadness and anger. Sending a kid to a public school will not incur the wrath of God. You think that thousands of parents incapable of anything but sending kids to public school will incur the wrath of God because of it (I posted earlier that the national income average was around 31,000 while for home schoolers it is over 50,000). I am thankful that He is more loving than you.
Why do you continue to think that parents don't have a big enough influence on their kids to overcome whatever they may encounter in school? Why do you also think that kids themselves aren't able to overcome whatever negative influences they encounter in public school? You are making the PS system out to be all-pervasive, while conscious decisions of kids themselves, as well as good parenting you belittle.
If you are really that dense and can't see the obvious, then you are a lost cause! :loser:
Humanism is the epitome of hating God - don't you know anything? Let me guess, you went to public school.
This post could make some think that loving God comes with a hatred of your fellow man. Please stop your judgemental attitude, which will be well in line with verses that you posted earlier in this thread. Your mocking does no one any good, and it is sad to see a fellow Christian engage in such derisive, dismissive and useless behavior.
