A Christian Education As An Antidote To CRT

 Paul Krause has an today at the American Thinker entitled Christian Education and the Future of Western Culture that urges renewed emphasis on Christian education as a way to fight critical race theory and other academic nonsense.

The war over education will be a defining issue for the next decade. Unfortunately, defeating Critical Hate Theory isn’t going to stop the poison that already infects our educational system. Beneath the veil of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance is the acidic educational philosophy that America is evil, that its values need destroyed, and that Western culture is irredeemable. That is what actually motivates progressive education: hatred of their culture and homeland.

At the heart of our educational culture war are two visions for culture and education. One believes education is a training in virtue and excellence, an engagement with a living tradition of 3,000 years of wisdom, goodness, and beauty that has the power to enlighten and transform our lives for the better.

The other educational outlook is premised on hatred, division, and destruction. The goal here is not a training in virtue or excellence but an indoctrination into revolutionary ideals that will overthrow the supposedly oppressive and tyrannical present and wipe away all the vestiges of an evil and irredeemable past. The purpose of education is to create storm troopers of cultural vandalism and demolition. To hide this reality the proponents of educational desecration call it all the names we are accustomed to hearing and assert to be against such progressive inclusion is to be inhumane and racist.

At least half of the parents, and it is probably and even larger percentage, do not want Critical Race Theory, or any of the many "gender" relate issues taught in our schools. They are not in favor of having drag queens reading sexually suggestive stories to their children at library story hour.  Talk about not being age appropriate!  There is no reason to bring such filth to elementary or middle school students. Instead, what should be taught are the three "Rs;" Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. I would argue that they don't even need to be taught so called "computer skills" since these can be learned fairly easily and likely will be.

Rather, teaching proper research skills, critical thinking skills, expository writing, history and logic. In addition, as students mature, Krause encourages the teaching of the canon of Western Culture. This would include teaching the Bible as literature. One of the things that makes reading not only the Bible, but even early English literature difficult is that students are not taught to read it from the perspective of people living at the time, who are the author's audience. Instead, students seem to be encouraged to read into literature a modern viewpoint.
