Public education has become indoctrination and our public schools indoctrination centers. No longer are our children taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, but things like DEI, critical race theory, and gender dysphoria. Although we spend more money per capita on each student than any other country in the world, our education system ranks around 34th in the world. Only 45% of high school graduates are proficient in math and only 32% in reading. Still, failed schools continue to be funded and poor teachers paid with our taxpayer dollars, as parents continue to be denied school choice, lest failing schools go under and poor teachers be put out of work.

It's not just students in our public schools who are being brainwashed, but teachers as well. I am amazed at the number of public school teachers I personally know who have sold their souls to the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Many of them, despite their Christian profession, march lockstep with the likes of Randi Weingarten and other pro NEA and AFT progressives, despite these progressives' expelling of God from our public schools and efforts to  expunge Christianity from our public square. 

I recently learned that Chicago's public schools, despite their desperate need for qualified teachers, have not only barred Christian students, from the famous Moody Bible Institute, from doing their student teaching in Chicago public school classrooms, but also from being hired as teachers in Chicago's public school system. In other words, in a blatant violation of religious freedom, the city of Chicago has set up a religious litmus test for all public school teachers, by which all Christian graduates from Moody Bible Institute are being barred from teaching in Chicago's public schools. Now, no one should be surprised that the Windy City, which protects illegal immigrants from ICE rather that Chicagoans from criminal illegal aliens, as well as Chicagoans from national guard troops rather than from notorious street gangs, is now protecting its public schools from Christian teachers.

The famous Protestant Reformer Martin Luther once predicted that the day would come when public schools would serve as "the very gates of hell." According to Luther, this would happen when the Scripture was expelled from our schools and no longer engraved on the hearts of our youth. I'm afraid Luther's prediction has come to pass.
