Public School Graduates Reject Christ

<h1>Public School Graduates Reject Christ</h1>Author: <a title="Mimi Rothschild" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mimi-rothschild/21745.htm">Mimi Rothschild</a> Will your child believe in Jesus when he or she graduates from high school? Most parents would respond with an emphatic "yes". These parents might want to reconsider their answer after a recent study by Dr. Brian Ray. Eighty-eight percent of public schooled children from Christian homes reject their faith by the time they graduate high school. On the other hand, Christian homeschoolers are 94% likely to retain a belief in Christ upon graduating a 12-year program.

This shocking statistic should not come as any surprise as public school curricula is designed to teach children ideas that are entirely antithetical to a Christian worldview. To think that students can endure twelve long years of systematic attack on their beliefs is somewhat naïve. Influences on all sides, from the teachers to the administration to the other students prevent students from maintaining a strong faith.

Some parents are under the mistaken belief that their children should be salt and light in the public schools. They feel that pulling them out would be equivalent to hiding their light under a bushel. However, they are taking these verses out of context. The Lord does not expect us to place our children in a dangerous position until they have developed a strong Christian worldview that is able to withstand moral and intellectual attacks.

Jesus said: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher." - Luke 6:39, 40
