(AgapePress) - Southern Baptist advocates of Christian
education are pointing to a rash of religious censorship incidents in Plano, Texas, as
indications that local Christians are having little influence on the public school system there.
Four families have recently sued the Plano Independent School District over its ban on
traditional Christmas colors and on students handing out religious-themed gifts.
Biblical education is the principle strategy for Christian
Dominion. Through the knowledge of God in an understanding of His world, Christians can reclaim
the culture. Without a solid Christian foundation, however, which consists of a Biblically
grounded world and life view, victory and dominion, even liberty and life itself, cannot be
properly established. All life is to be viewed, and understood, through Biblical understanding.
...Education cannot exist in a vacuum. All education has, at
its root, a fundamental presupposition. In other words, education cannot be neutral. It is not
simply a list of facts, unattached to intentions that are fundamentally Theological in nature.
The nature of education is religious. education either presupposes GOD or presupposes no God.
All education has an epistemological [i.e. knowledge] base. That base is either God-centered
[Theological/Theonomic i.e God's Law] or man centered [Humanistic - man's law].
"A sweeping mental health initiative will be
unveiled by President George W. Bush in July," reported the British Medical Journal on June 19.
The administration's "New Freedom Initiative" envisions "comprehensive mental health screening
for 'consumers of all ages,' including preschool children."
