“We allow no separation to grow up between the intellectual and ‘spiritual’ life of children, but teach them that the Divine Spirit has constant access to their spirits, and is their Continual Helper in all the interests, duties and joys of life.” - Charlotte Mason
Government Schools force an ungodly separation for Christian children.
They should not be allowed to disciple the children of Christian families.
I spent 10 years in public government school as a student, and it’s only more recently that I’ve recognized how unnatural, what a disservice and hindrance, this repression was for me as a Christian student.
“Paedeia” - I think i misspelled it in the video!
“If the imagination were obedient, the appetites would give us very little trouble.” - CS Lewis
“Literate children who imagine and wonder with divine truth, goodness, and beauty as a goal are the most dangerous people to progressive vision. If we want to cultivate these types of children, we need to return to stories for children from an earlier time.” - Peter Hegseth with David Goodwin, Battle for the American Mind

Oh my I have Hegseth’s book on Hold in Libby! Cannot wait to read this!
Thanks for the review. I look forward to reading it.
Very, very good video! I added this book to my wish list...thank you! ♥️
What an interesting review -- I'm definitely going to read this book. Thank you!
Thanks for the review! Putting it on the list. Also, I love your intro/out music!
Thank you for the review of this book. I disagree somewhat about running for school boards. Progressives have these boards because school board elections typically have extremely low turnout. No so any more in my county. A lot of parents are revolting hard after the damage that has been done to kids the last couple of years - and a couple of these Progressive Goofballs have lost their seats on the school board to people that are hopefully a bit more reasonable. I am an advocate of private tutors instead of school. My parents sent me to a private school with the horrible Christian ACE curriculum (aka rote memorization), and it took years to fix the damage.

It will definitely always be better to have better people on school boards 👍🏼 But there’s a lot more to it than that, if that makes sense. I am not at all familiar with the ace curriculum 🤷🏼♀️. I never went to private Christian school, but had several friends who went to different ones where I grew up - and I wasn’t impressed :/. He talks about all that in the book, and how sadly many Christian schools copy the progressives model for school at the core, and just add a Bible class / make it a little more Christian. There’s so much more to be done than that.

There are also teachers who take pledges to teach certain things no matter what school administrators or school boards or anyone says. They have an allegiance to certain doctrines above anything else, and they specifically aim to deceive parents as part of their indoctrination of students. They view parents as outsiders, obstacles, intruders, enemies.

@@garlandofbooks4494 - ACE = Accelerated Christian Education. It was definitely not based on a progressive model - they were a series of self-paced workbooks that relied on rote memorization. It was terrible. I graduated in 1981, so ACE may be a thing of the past.
