Saw something on the local news the other day. The public schools are having to make budget cuts, so one high school will not be holding their graduation ceremony at the Metro Center. Instead they will have it at one of the local "mega churches". Now I understand some people complaining because the church doesn't seat as many people as the Metro Center does, but there are some people shouting in anger "separation of church and state". Keep in mind, they are not holding a worship service, or anything like that during this high school graduation ceremony, and they are offering up the building for free, where as the Metro Center would be charging. Just because it is a church, people are getting ticked off about it. My thought on it is, I just wonder what these people would had done in our colonial days or even the 1800's and early to mid 1900's when more often than not, the school house and the church where the same building in a town. Wow, how the view of separation of church and state has changed over the years. Clearly we don't see it the way the founding fathers did.

It is so silly. This is one of the many reasons that we home school our boys. I love having my children home with me so that my husband and I can teach them about the Lord as we rise up, sit down, walk along the way.... So that the world will not indoctrinate them with its false philosophies. Sometimes I wonder if all or most Christians were to homeschool their children if we would truly be mighty in the land.
And another thought....(don't get me started on the public school system)....all of the money that goes into the government run schools for what? So that our children can be taught the ways of the world? Public schools were just a step toward socialism and most Christians do not even realize that. Or they are aware of it but justify it in some way. I have some articles on my blog under "homeschooling" talking about the problem with government run schools. We educate all 4 of our boys on around $1200 a year. Plus we pay taxes so that other children can go to the public schools. We do not receive a tax break. I could go on and on.
