Is it a sin to send our kids to public school?

By David d'Escoto© 2009


A slew of research shows that America is losing the conservative Christian youth in massive droves. These studies show a generation being increasingly won over to a socialistic/secular-humanistic worldview in spite of the American church increasing their apologetic courses, children's programs, youth rallies and books and sermon series on child training.

What is happening? Could it be that we are doing something wrong? I would make the case that we are blatantly sinning in sending our kids to places that are, in fact, causing them to fall away. Let me lay out the case in three simple points.

1. Does the Bible make it clear that causing another to "stumble or fall away" in their faith-walk is wrong – a sin?

Matthew 18:5-7: "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin [stumble], it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

1 Corinthians 8:9-13: "But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. ..."

2 Corinthians 6:3: "We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry."

Romans 14:13-21: ".... but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. ... It is good not ... [to] do anything that causes your brother to stumble, or be hindered or be weakened."

The above verses are crystal clear on this topic.
