It is always wonderful to see the LCMS national organization and also the local congregations providing Christian-based education, kindergarten through university. Anything we can do to maximize the chances that our young people will be able to grow from kindergarten to adulthood without making a complete mess of their lives, we should and must do. A Christian-based education is certainly an important component of that. The secularists have managed to change public education into a hostile environment for anyone who believes in the absolutes of right and wrong that are integral to Christianity.
