This isn’t the first time Florence High School has made national headlines. A couple of years ago, administrators allowed a boy to use the girls’ bathrooms.
In the current fiasco, a teacher, for some reason that I don’t understand, is getting a $50,000 settlement because Christianity was a little too much in his face, I guess. I don’t know why everyone else who might have felt a little offended doesn’t get $50 large.
Paul Mason an attorney on the case said, “Government and public schools need to remain neutral on questions of religion so that you and I are not forced to [be exposed to] someone else’s personal religious beliefs.”
But Jesus said there’s no such thing as neutrality (Matthew 12:30). Academic subjects can’t be done in a neutral manner. There is no such thing as a brute fact. The concept of truth is only possible when you presuppose the Trinitarian God of the Bible.
So public school can pretend to be neutral, but it’s just not possible. They’re teaching the kids religion and philosophy with every subject. It just isn’t Christianity.
Christians need to get their kids out of public school.
