LOOK OUT!
Southern Baptist Vice President T. C. Pinckney will introduce a resolution at the Southern Baptist Convention next month calling for all SBC parents to pull their kids out of the g-schools and homeschool them or send them to Christian private schools. This is not a Damascus Road conversion for Pinckney. In 2001 he wrote, “The ideal, most biblical solution is for parents to teach their children, to be home schoolers. All our churches should welcome and openly encourage home-schoolers. But clearly many parents cannot or will not home-school. For their children we need to start large numbers of Christian schools.” The resolution takes it to a new level, though. Just think what would happen to the g-schools in the South if even a fraction of Baptists heed the denomination’s call.

It won’t happen – not in mass quantity anyway. Most folks don’t supervise the TV their kids watch and really haven’t thought about why they should. School environment is an afterthought – don’t bother me unless you’re bleeding or get an F. I don’t think they’ll tackle home education, and some possibly shouldn’t. Hopefully, it will make them more aware of the “education” their child is receiving at skool. I think a little bigger. We recently purchased some property that is in a rural Mennonite community. I have been researching Mennonite/Amish culture. The Amish do not pay Medicare tax or Social Security tax (if self-employed) under a religious exemption by proving that the medical care is provided by other means (community takes care of its own). I want to get the Southern Baptists to claim the same religious exemption. We already have hospitals….. Now THAT would be some serious tax money wouldn’t it? |
