I hope that the words offered herein will be enough to spark a prayerful meditation upon the holiness of God and obedience to His law regarding the education of your children. To answer this question we will turn to what many consider one of the most useful literary documents ever produced, the Westminster Shorter Catechism. For the purpose of placing the public education system under the searchlight of the Word of God, this definition, coupled with another helpful exposition from the Westminster Larger Catechism, will prove most illuminating. The public school's own documents, policies, textbooks, teachers and goals clearly attest to this fact. Just as obviously they are not neutral.
Neutrality is impossible.
Let one ask what neutrality can possibly mean when God is involved. The textbooks never mention Him. Everyone assumes that children do not need to know anything about God, God's law, and God's Word in order to become educated people. This is Satan's own lie. 14 These testimonies could be multiplied, but the point may be better illustrated by taking a look at your own situation and responsibility before God.
