The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down by R. Albert Mohler Jr.

Parents tend to make choices that become more religiously specific, and this is over gets the background of the fact that at least a large part of the project of the public schools, and Amy Laura Hall doesn't go into this in detail.īut a large part of the background of the public school movement or the common school movement in the United States in the 20th century was about an effort to minimize religious difference in the United States. Now, the point in this RNS article is that the development of religious private schools and in particular charter schools and other forms of school choice for parents, this is actually, she argues segregating Americans increasingly by faith, and she makes the argument that this is one of the results of giving parents more choice.

Here's the headline, 'How school choice drives America's people of faith apart.' The main argument I want to consider today, is one that appeared in an article by Amy Laura Hall that appeared at Religion News Service. And a part of what we need to track even more closely is how government control of education and government funded and influenced education has become such a central front in the culture war.īut very interestingly, there's pushback coming from some rather unusual sources and there's some arguments coming to which Christians need to pay attention.

An awful lot of what we are focusing on in the United States right now is how public policy is made real in every dimension of life, and one of those dimensions of course, is education.
