Letters to the Editor

Keeping Kids in Public Schools

Regarding the March 18, 2019 letter to the editor “Separating Christianity and Public Schools?”, while Wisconsin may be home to the thus-far peerless New American magazine, it also suffers from a heavy dose of leftist radicalism. The author, a teacher, advocated sacrificing other people’s kids to a system intentionally dedicated to the demolition of the Christian faith. Parents get to pay for this privilege. The main purpose of the humanist, government-school grinder is to first obliterate the Christian worldview and shear kids off at the knees spiritually via relentless propaganda and indoctrination, two words perhaps currently overused but more-than-adequate descriptors of today’s post-modern miseducation. The author advised Christian parents to continue to sentence their kids to government school due to the Great Commission, but this needs to be tempered with the Bible’s admonition to “flee from evil.”

Atheist “educator” Richard Rorty wrote that Christian students who attend government schools must submit to a personal psychiatric realignment because they enter as “bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists [but] will leave college with views more like our [his] own.... The fundamentalist parents of our fundamentalist students think the entire ‘American liberal establishment’ is engaged in a conspiracy. The parents have a point.... So we are going to go right on trying to discredit you in the eyes of your children.” 

Rorty appealed to Nazi ideology and methodology to justify his view that “students are lucky to find themselves under the benevolent Herrschaft [domination] of people like me, and have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents.” Rorty likens himself to “the Nazi teachers who made their students read Der Sturmer; the only difference is I serve a better cause.” The atheist should be taken at his word.
