“The irrelevance of God is a fundamental
doctrine taught in all public schools (. . .)
Is the Bible true? My science, health, and
literature teachers said no. Is there design
and purpose evident in creation? My biology, chemistry, and math teachers said
no. Are there absolutes? My sex-education
teacher said no and my friends said ‘cool.’ Is
God relevant to any subject taught in public school? All of my teachers and all of my
books said no. Consequently, every day for
twelve years the content and the context of
my public schooling said there is no God,
and even if there is, He does not matter.” 1
An Issue Riddled with Challenges
When;making;a;documen- tary;film;exposing;what is arguably one of the most comprehensive and
devastating offensives against the body
of Christ in the history of our strug-
gling nation, the question “How do you
eat;an;elephant?”;takes;on;a;whole;new
meaning. Add to that the fact that the
bride of Christ is actually comfortably
riding the elephant, thinks it is hold-
ing the elephant’s reins, and will tell
you that the elephant is actually part of
the;church’s;responsibility;to;fulfill;the
Great Commission, and you have more
than;a;bite-sized;problem;in;your;hands.
The elephant of public schooling has
claimed a loveseat in nine out of every
ten Christian living rooms and it will
take;considerable;effort;to;convince;par-
ents and church leaders that both baby
elephant and his nasty bathwater need
to be thrown out. 2 Together with the
800-pound;gorilla;of;organized;teachers
unions, and federal and state Depart-
ments of Indoctrination, God-fearing
believers need to abandon the “Christ-
dishonoring, academically-inferior,
soul-killing,;government;indoctrination
centers”;we;call;public;schools;for;the
promised land of Christian education. 3
“Modern public schooling is the wall-mounted trophy head of a formerly
lionhearted education, (. . .) a hollow
shell, a stuffed charade, a glass-eyed cadaver of the once substantive education
