Proper Education For a Republic

10-25-12 Proper Education For a Republic

For several days my articles have focused on the need to recognize our Saviour Christ in resistance to the flood tide of politically based attacks designed to remove His name from public life. Notice this from Dr. Benjamin Rush, signer the Declaration, wrote in Thoughts Upon the Mode of Education Proper in a Republic, 1786:

"The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid on the foundation of religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments...

The religion I mean to recommend in this place is that of the New Testament...All its doctrines and precepts are calculated to promote the happiness of society and the safety and well-being of civil government."

The idea of tripod plan for a continuing free society has long been espoused as the home, the church and the school, at least in the American experiment. Each pod is to compliment the other. For many years this was practiced.

When School Corporations did not accept confiscated money from Washington twenty five million dollar swimming pools were rare, as was control from Washington. Then the Talmudic phrase became real, “Come Shekels Come Shackles.”

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Unfortunately something than can be used to help society can also be misused to harm society, and those looking to harm were not forever blind to the power of education.

Abraham Lincoln inadvertently tipped them off when he said that the philosophy in the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. So they took over the public education system, turned it into an indoctrination system, and began cranking out little liberals.

Placing so much emphasis on political indoctrination that education is neglected to the point that we now rank behind third world countries, the failure of their primary mission doesn't tip us off that there is a fox in the hen house. It just stimulates us to throw more money at them.

When we were busy throwing the Redcoats out, they sneered at our idea of Self Government. Now, a mere two centuries later, they may be getting the last laugh.

If it turns out that we really are incapable of self government, what is the alternative ? If the Noble Experiment fails, then what?

And all it took was to produce a generation that agrees that God has no place in America. And that generation is here, with the natural result of America falling like an over-ripe fruit.

Then what? If we throw the Democrat rascals out and put the Republican rascals in, will a nation that still favors throwing God out manage to pull its fat out of the fire? Is it really just economic savvy that we need?
