Conservatives and Christians have been concerned about the education system in the United States for decades. Some would say that when we took the Bible out of schools, we started the downfall of American culture. At this point, I won’t even try to stir up that discussion. The battle lines have been drawn much further to the left. Today, we must start by trying to prevent America from becoming like Iceland.
Yes, Iceland.
The results of a disturbing study show that in less than one generation, Iceland has gone from 87% “religious believers” to 46%. That’s bad enough, but when we realize that their education system has made it to where literally 0% of young Christians in the country believe that God created the earth, it’s easy to see that this trend will have the country as a completely secular religion within a couple of decades at the latest.
In this country, literally no young Christians believe that God created the Earth https://t.co/v3lFJCHely

It comes down to education. We took the Bible out of the schools and it will likely take a Biblical event to put it back in the schools. However, we’re seeing that the left is pushing for an education system that doesn’t just remove God from education but that attempts to wipe the possibility of Creation from the minds of our youths before they ever have a chance to come to their own conclusions.
This is not a problem that can be addressed through politics alone, though politics will play a role in a Christian family’s ability to teach our own children properly. We can and should fight to prevent the theories of evolution and the Big Bang from becoming doctrine. As any honest scientist would acknowledge, neither concept is proven. In fact, both have flaws that should give pause to any thinking human, but that’s not stopping the education system from declaring that the debate is settled.
Teaching those concepts as the unproven theories that they are is only part of the problem. Allowing room for the truth of Creation to even be considered is the other need and at this point, it would seem that the political structure of America will not allow that to happen. We have to keep trying. At the national level, it’s a tougher fight, but at the local level the fight must continue until it’s won.
The most important thing to remember is that there’s really only three options for parents and their children:
- Ideally, one or both parents will commit to a Bible-driven homeschool program for their children. It’s not for everyone, but it’s ideal when appropriate.
- If homeschool is impossible, a good Christian private school is acceptable, but be sure to constantly check their hermeneutic on a regular (daily) basis.
- If the situation is too dire for either of these options, then you must guide your children through the perverse public school system by equipping them with the Biblical fortitude required for them to make it out properly.
If that last option seemed to be demonized a bit, it’s because that was the intention. The American public school system is designed to indoctrinate first, educate second. If you are in a position that requires the use of public schools, then taking your kids to church on Sundays (or Saturdays) is not enough. Things are different. There are militant atheists and secularists controlling the school systems today that will do everything they can to prevent your children from coming out with the proper Biblical worldview.
The War on Christianity starts at the schools. The left is building a generation that is much more secular than any before it. We’re not talking about the gradual shift that has happened for decades. They are in the process of a clean sweep within a single generation. One only has to look at Iceland to see the model for what’s being attempted in America today.
