The man who may be the next president of the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention says it’s time parents and churches find an alternative to the public school system:
Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, says in Culture Shift: Engaging Current Issues With Timeless Truth that Christian parents increasingly view public schools as “prime battlegrounds for cultural conflict.”
Given recent developments, Mohler predicts schools “will soon become even more hostile to the convictions of many Christian families.”
“I am convinced that the time has come for Christians to develop an exit strategy from the public schools,” Mohler writes. “Some parents made this decision long ago.”
It might be noted that Ethics Daily, the source of the story, has always taken a dim view of this sort of thing.
Meanwhile, N.C. Division of Non-Public Education statistics suggest that “creation of a competing system of Christian and home schools” is already well underway.
