Deconstructing the Coliseum: Teaching the Christian worldview, including how the civil government has no jurisdiction over the heart and the mind.
Attorney Kerry L. Morgan wrote a book that I cited before. It’s called Real Choice & Real Freedom in American Education. Mr. Morgan analogizes the disestablishment of the church in Virginia with what should be disestablishment of the civil government school system. He writes: “Prior to 1786, Virginians lived with an established or official church. The Commonwealth also sanctioned an official ‘textbook’ of common prayers. The people were compelled to attend the official church or else pay a fine. They were compelled to support its ministers financially. Their ministers were required to be licensed by the civil government. Taxes also went to construct and maintain church buildings. The people were compelled to attend a [civil] government approved church and be exposed to the [civil] government’s approved version of the Gospel and Protestant theology by a [civil] government licensed minister. It made no difference whether the people agreed with those religious ideas or not.”
Do you see the parallels here? Our civil government schools have
- State approved preachers
- State approved doctrine
- State compelled attendance laws
- State compelled tithing.
The civil government school system is unconstitutional; it is unconstitutional because it is unbiblical.
