Early in the twentieth century, progressives quietly transformed America’s schools. A hundred years later, they’ve succeeded beyond their wildest hopes.
The battlefield for the hearts and minds of our kids is the 16,000 hours they spend inside American classrooms from kindergarten to twelfth grade. it’s the 16,000-hour war, for our kids and our country. We are culturally surrounded. The classroom, literature, movies, music, television, and social media are all full-blown avenues of pressure to conform to the wayward thinking of contemporary culture. Abraham Lincoln once said, “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation becomes the philosophy of government in the next.” To put it more comprehensively, the strength of the church in one generation becomes the culture of its people in the next, followed by the philosophy of the schoolroom and the government. The schoolroom is a vital front in the battle for Christendom and Western civilization, but alone—it is not enough. How do parent’s fight for the minds of their precious children? Agitation or grassroots movements are not the answer. The answer lies in shaping the classroom by providing an environment based, comprehensively, on the principles of Jesus with a goal of academic excellence.
That is the dream of Legacy Christian Academy.
