"Why do parents keep fighting these battles with the schools?"
I think this is definitely one of the more pertinent questions I've seen asked on the topic. I think Christians need to be informed about what we believe and why (ready to give an answer for the hope we have), but we're delusional if we think we're going to "win" battles like this. History is headed to a specific conclusion, and before the return of Christ, things like this are going to happen and get worse. I realize everyone doesn't agree with my eschatology, but...suffice it to say, Spunk, that I agree with your view here, absolutely.
And that's not to say that there are no battles worth fighting; I'm not a defeatist. But which battles are really worth it? Are we going to change a system, or should we read the writing on the wall and get our children OUT?
Thanks for your thoughts Kristen. I know exactly what you're saying. I read the comments on your blog as well. You don't sound like a defeatist at all. And even if this battle is worth fighting, this generation of children who are enrolled in the schools become the collateral damage in the war. They are the unintended losers no matter which side wins. Parents only have one chance to educate their children.
It's battles like the "Intelligent Design" that make us Christians look like a bunch of extremists. I agree with you, Kristen - this is one battle that's not worth the fight.
Anonymous,
Thanks for the critique of my grammar. I can get a little sloppy especially in the comments. I appreciate the help and educating me. However, unnecessary editorializing not related to the post will be deleted. I am not perfect and I never claimed to be. My blog is for the discussion of ideas. I will make mistakes not just in grammar but also in my thinking. I don't mind honest criticism of my thoughts or my grammar. But the other opinions are best left to your own blog unless they relate to the topic of the post. Otherwise, they distract from the discussion.
Again, thanks for your grammar check. I have fixed this error as best I am able. If you find anything amiss please let me know. Also, I hope you stick around. This saves this busy mom of 6 a lot of time. I'll just leave the editting to you!
Also, please sign your name and email. I would like to personally thank you for the extra effort to make my blog as well written as possible.
God Bless and Have a Merry Christmas
