Ministries Face Report Card on Education

If you believe that education is neutral; that it is the role of the state to train and disciple our children; that the youth culture of the modern school is healthy for children; and that the children of Christian parents should be immersed in the religious worldview of evolutionism, secularism, and humanism; then government education may be a very viable option for you.

For those of us who reject the above presuppositions, government education is not merely a disaster — a testimony to much of what is wrong with modern America — but in its foundations, methodologies, and track-record, it represents the antithesis of the biblical vision for education. This is why we firmly believe that parents who are serious about raising up a Christ-honoring generation of biblically-minded Christians will flee government education.

The team at Exodus Mandate agrees. And now Worldnetdaily.com is reporting on the work of my friend E. Ray Moore and Exodus Mandate regarding their recent report card grading several pro-family ministries on issues pertaining to their support for government education vs. Christian education alternatives:

At last week’s National Religious Broadcasters convention, Exodus Mandate released its report card, grading nine national ministries such as Focus on the Family and Wall Builders on their support of Exodus Mandate’s principles.

Retired Army Reserve Chaplain E. Ray Moore, Jr., director of Exodus Mandate, praised the graded ministries for “valiantly fighting the culture war” and promoting a Christian worldview, but he also criticized them for advocating public education reform and legislative remedies as paths to reversing “the moral and cultural slide” in America.

“It’s time for these ministries to revisit their methodology,” Moore said, “and ask themselves if there is a biblical model for spiritual and cultural renewal.”

According to Exodus Mandate, the biblical model for renewal is the discipling of young minds and training of the next generation through Christian - and not secular government - education.

David d’Escoto is author of “The Little Book of Big Reasons to Homeschool” and one of six people who sat on the panel that graded the ministries.

“Some of these ministries continue to labor under the error that K-12 public education is an acceptable practice for Christian children and that the public schools can be reformed,” d’Escoto said. “This is folly.”
