I came across this chilling misanthropic missive in support of home schooling.

The greatest pitfalls of public education are the humanistic philosophies taught at the expense of biblical truth, ungodly teachers and classmates seeking to influence our children, and the absence of spiritual or moral considerations within the educational process. However, those problems aren’t isolated to the public-school setting (as evidenced by just a few minutes of television-watching).<\/p>\n
Within most of our neighborhoods–and even in some Christian schools–there are influences that tear at our desired spiritual standards. Christian schools, for instance, can sometimes be hotbeds for hypocrisy (when everyone claims to be “Christian”) and legalism (when an overemphasis is put on external moral standards).

So it is not just fear of public schools, or fear of society in general, but fear of fellow Christians. I had no idea.<\/p>\n
Not sure what to do? Try praying:<\/p>\n
If high-quality Christian education is available and affordable, that’s usually preferable. However, carefully evaluate all the factors and options of your situation. Seek God’s will earnestly (Ephesians 5:17) and couple that with strong, biblical parenting (Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
