Barbed Wire, Inside or Out?

Well, they're at it again. The FoggyPitt, tax-funded school board has redrawn the district lines. Surprise, surprise! Except this time, one prominent Christian ghetto has been 'adversely' affected. Rather than their dear little ones attending the ' safe', suburban elementary school in the shadow of Dowdy-Ficklen, the residents have been assigned to the barbed-wire-enclosed school on the other-side-of-town.

From local newspaper coverage, I understand that a number of families have registered or will register their kids at one or more of the local Christian schools. If this is true, this will certainly be a windfall to those schools. But, from a biblical worldview, it begs the question, "Why now?"

The only real difference in the two schools is the location. One is a whitewashed tomb and the other a slightly grimy one...still tombs, nevertheless. The statist worship, the Godless curriculum, the revisionist history, the Darwinist sciences, and the psycho-babbley socialization are the same in both places. What are Christian children doing there in the first place?!?!

In the government schools, children are welcome to write about the devil, witches and goblins at Halloween, but not about Jesus at Christmas. (Wait...there is no Christmas anymore, only Winter. Hmmm...kinda like Narnia) They are chastised for acting like animals...but convinced that they are descended from apes! They are punished if they lie, cheat or steal...but the Ten Commandments are considered the establishment of religion! Between-class-sex is discouraged in the bathroom...condom-safe-sex is taught in the classroom! Biblical creation is taught on Sunday morning in church...secular evolution is taught Monday through Friday in class.

"And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord." You should have been out of the government schools a long time ago. Which is worse, the barbed-wire inside or the barbed-wire outside?
