Real Education

Having solved all the other crises in our society, we move on to Education. I, for one, have always been a proponent of excellent education. I am sure I don’t know what our President is talking about when he calls for:  “Challenging states to adopt world-class standards rather than a specific standard.” I am hopeful that it doesn’t mean we should abandon the educational process that has brought this Nation to the place where we have been the most successful, most productive, most affluent, and yes, most Christian, in the World.

One MAJOR problem in Education (and I have been an Educator all my life, I am married to an Educator, and many of my closest friends are Educators) is the reality that we have forgone the teaching of Truth in Education. We are good at teaching theories, models, possibilities, and prejudices, but have little emphasis on Truth. What has happened to our Government is a good example of that. While our founders established the best form of Government ever conceived by man, we  now fail to the teach the Truth that our current (and this has been a process on-going long before this past election) Government is continuing to fail and rather than being a source of strength it has become a source of all kinds of evil. Until we educate our children in the processes of returning to a Government constructed on Truth, we are destined to become another failed, Godless, socialistic state.

If the kind of intellectualism I see in Washington, D. C. is part and parcel of a world-class standard, I want nothing to do with it. We had better men and women, and planted the seeds of prosperity which most of us alive today have experienced, when our primary text book in public school was the Bible. Maybe we need to return to that standard.
