Neutral Education

Is there such a thing as neutral education?

Most educators, and far too many parents, have bought into the myth that education can be “religion-neutral.” They are convinced that teachers can train the mind without shaping attitudes, behavior or spiritual beliefs, and leave that for the parents to do at home.

However, neutral education is simply impossible.

In Romans 12:2, Paul observes the vital link between what we learn and what we become. As Gordon Clark puts it, “The school system that ignores God teaches its pupils to ignore God. That is not neutrality. It is the worst form of antagonism, for it judges God to be unimportant and irrelevant in human affairs. This is atheism.”
