Dangers Inherent in Public Education (Remastered)
Description
Rushdoony and Blumenfeld warn that public schooling is a means of controlling the future by shaping children away from Christian faith. Blumenfeld says students face four major risks: academic (functional illiteracy), spiritual (humanist/anti-Christian influences), moral (drugs, promiscuity, blasphemy), and physical (violence). They argue parents are mistaken to assume their child will be unharmed or serve as an effective “witness” without being damaged.
Their proposed response is to remove children to Christian schools or homeschooling and then withdraw financial support from the public system, even through legal action if needed. They close by urging Christians to accept real sacrifice to preserve faith, freedom, and strong families."
