If you still aren't convinced that Christians should not be sending their children to public schools, I encourage you to read and study 2 Peter 2. The whole chapter could have been written to parents warning them about public schooling!
Many parents hand their precious children over to teachers in the public schools who do not love the Lord. In fact, the majority of teachers are not believers in Jesus since we are a remnant.
Therefore, these teachers are coming from a foundation other than the foundation of
Christ. Their whole world view is different than ours. But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction.
Your children will learn and listen to these teachers who know not God
and His ways. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of
whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Many children being
raised in godly homes will be led astray by what the teachers teach. They will learn that they came from monkeys, thus there is no purpose in life except to eat,
drink, and be merry.
Public schools receive thousands of dollars for each child they educate and
waste the hard earned money of their parents. I taught in the public schools and witnessed the waste for myself. All government programs waste money. {I realize there are some GREAT
public school teachers but even many of the GREAT ones will not teach your
children about the Lord and His ways. The textbooks have corrupted history,
science books teach lies as fact, and their entire foundation is built upon
sand.} And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their
damnation slumbereth not.
The Lord
knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, {Yes, you as parents need
to be protecting your children as they are growing up from the evil that
pervades the public schools and teach them consistently throughout the day about the Lord and His love for them.} and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment
to be punished: But chiefly
them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
This is a
definition of the Universities. Sexual immorality pervades them and they speak
evil of government, wanting it to put a stamp of approval on their sinful
lifestyles and even celebrate them. And shall receive the reward of
unrighteousness, as they that
count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they
are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings
while they feast with you;
Having eyes
full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an
heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have
forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved
the wages of unrighteousness.
They will try to persuade
your children that "religion" is bondage and that the Bible is a book
of fairy tales. "There is no God" they will boldly proclaim and then
day-by-day do everything in their power to dismantle the faith you are building
in your children. I have witnessed children who were raised in God-fearing
homes with godly parents who are committed to Him and His ways send their
children off to expensive universities and these children turn from their
parent's faith and live lives of wantonness and evil pleasure.
