The American free-market economy is built on the premise that consumer choice will ultimately lead to the best quality product at the lowest cost. We assume that parents will generally make the best choices about shoes, clothing, food, and medicine for their children. After experiencing 75 years of total government control over education, the Russians are reforming their failed educational system with parental choice programs. It s the notion that parents should have the freedom to select the education that best meets the needs of their children. Private Christian education, whether at home or in a Christian day school, is one of the best investments of time and money that parents can make in the lives of their children.
Christian education is one of the most important weapons in the Culture War.
