Canon City is pretty conservative. By today’s standard, Canon City in the early 1990s, would have been staunchly conservative. My parents sent me to public school, and they had their misgivings, and it was definitely not openly liberal or antichrist.

However, I did once try to witness to my high school gym teacher (several years after graduating) and he revealed himself as being a God-hating person in that conversation. Recently, the same thing happened on Facebook with my junior high English teacher. On an article talking about gay Polis’ pretend husband, I said I would pray for their repentance. Several people liked my comments, but several supported homosexuality, included my English teacher.

I pointed out that the same defense she used to support homosexuality left her defenseless against pedophiles. There has to be some absolute standard we must hold to. She told me I was like talking to a brick wall, while not answering my objections at all.

So, going to public school didn’t ruin me, by the grace of God. But your conservative, little school with all the Christians may not be as Christian as you think.
