college time

this is a chilling article from Dr. Mohler.

Even as most professors see themselves as stewards of the teaching profession and fellow learners with their students, others see their role in very different terms — as agents of ideological indoctrination. All teaching involves ideology and intellectual commitments. There is no position of authentic objectivity. Every teacher, as well as every student, comes into the classroom with certain intellectual commitments. Some professors set as their aim the indoctrination of students into their own worldview, and many of these worldviews are both noxious and deeply troubling. A professor who acts as such an agent of indoctrination abuses the stewardship of teaching and the professorial calling, but this abuse is more widespread and dangerous than many students and their parents understand.

We can’t keep our kids from going away to get an education, but we can do the best job possible in grounding them in the Bible. Not just memorizing scripture, but teaching them a Biblical worldview and how to think Biblically. Moreover, it is essential that we teach our kids how to think and analyze before they go off to school. They have to be able to weigh competing claims, to discern truth, and to compare new material to the truth of scripture.

Once we have given our kids the tools, we pray for the Holy Spirit to empower them to use the tools as they learn what they need to learn to succeed in their degree plan.

What else can we do?
