The Next President and Education

Today’s Christian Education Commentary
with Harold Naylor

What education changes can we expect to see when we elect a new president?

In this heated election season, each candidate for president will declare that he will improve America’s schools.

They want to see our children be more competitive on the world stage and believe that their solution will turn things around. So, they will either argue for more government involvement or less, depending on their party’s platform.

Why is it that the America’s schools need turning around? It is because they lost their original purpose when government got more involved and parents got less involved.

The solution? It is not a new president. It is parents claiming their God-given responsibility to lead their families and take full responsibility for the training of their children.

To my fellow voters and parents, please partner with a school that shares your values and priorities.
