Are your children being educated... or indoctrinated?The Messianic Character of American Education asks an important question of American history: Exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish?
Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the U.S. were state supported or state controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian.
However, from Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote "democracy" and "equality," not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educators' design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms.
The Messianic Character of American Education explores the philosophical premises of government education as completely anti-Christian and anti-Biblical as to be a very real threat to the survival of Christianity in America. As the title signifies, educators, imbued with behavioral psychology and evolution, not only reject Christ as Messiah, but pretend to be themselves messiahs offering their own seductive and poisonous brand of salvation through the institution of secular humanist education. It is hoped that this book will permit more Americans to understand why public education has failed and why it must be replaced by Christian schools and home schools that will restore literacy, morality, and reverence for the Creator of all men.
