The Importance of Equipping Children in a Hostile Culture
The public education system is not neutral and often promotes specific ideologies, such as Darwinian evolution and LGBTQ perspectives, while neglecting traditional beliefs like creationism. Parents must be diligent and aware of the content their children are exposed to, especially in a culture that can be hostile to Christian beliefs. By understanding these dynamics, parents can better equip their children to recognize core Christian beliefs and discern counterfeits. Engaging in conversations about faith and the curriculum at school will help children articulate their beliefs and navigate challenging situations.
