Episode Details

In “The New War on Religion,” Rushdoony argues that the conflict over Christian schools is not about educational quality but about religious control, marking an open war between humanism and Christianity. State schools, he contends, function as religious institutions teaching secular humanism the faith of man as his own god while accreditation and “minimum standards” are tools to impose a single, humanistic culture and suppress Biblical conviction. The Ohio battles revealed that education is inescapably religious, neutrality is a myth, and state control seeks conformity, not excellence. Courts, Rushdoony notes, increasingly recognize this as a clash of faiths, protecting Christian resistance only where obedience to Christ is shown to be a matter of conviction, not preference. At stake is nothing less than the future of the church, education, and the nation itself: whoever wins the educational battle will shape the culture and the coming generations.
