Recently my friends wrote an important piece in @NRO about wokeness in the homeschool community.

Here’s an example of an influential figure who holds positions at organizations and at conferences. Anywhere she appears is a 🚩.
@Askmsdel@ScottAniol Not exactly. My PhD in education IS from seminary. He's not against women going to seminary for theological education but rather, as he makes clear, women getting degrees in *pastoral ministry.*
@68nkickin @ScottAniol@TheoManBabies Nope. Philosophy of Christian Education degree from seminary. There's no reason to automatically assume I got a secular degree in "public school" education.
Don't be like Chicken Little. Experience ≠ Truth.
P.S. Don't be like Henny Penny either. She believed Chicken Little without finding out the Truth for herself, and she got eaten too.

The imagination is shaped by both words & images. The difference: reading/hearing words requires *your* imagination to work and sort to create a mental picture that fits with what you know. Looking at images is *someone else's* pre-imagined content directly uploaded to your mind.
https://t.co/Nwgt9dKYt0 Public school curricula no longer follows even the problematic postmodern agenda that says the truth is “whatever you want.” The program moving forward is that accepted “truth” is the opposite of God’s Word, and believe it or be Canceled.
New Blog Post @G3Conference on common (generally noble) reasons Christian parents choose public school and some food for thought. I'm not villainizing; this isn't always easy. But our children deserve that we think Christianly about education philosophy. https://t.co/Nwgt9dKYt0
Education is about building love relationships, first with God and then with humanity and the created world. Information accumulation is not education. Yes, some lists need to be memorized, but let's not confuse that with knowledge. #education

Behind every educational methodology is an educational philosophy; behind every educational philosophy is a theology of the nature of the child, the role of the teacher, and the aims of learning. Methodology matters.
"Parents...As we sow we reap. Let us expect our children to know the Lord. Let us from the beginning mingle the name of Jesus with their A B C. Let them read their first lessons from the Bible."~Charles Spurgeon, who died on this day in 1892 at age 58.

"Young citizens need to hear the story of the development of uncommon liberties and freedoms. If citizens are deprived of pride and memory, a democratic regime may soon come to resemble a ship of fools, without anchor or compass." ~Gilbert Sewall, 1988 (2/2)
"In any democracy, citizens ignorant of their heritage, legacies and values have little ability to test whatever claims of the intelligentsia, media or government." (1/2)
