Whoever Controls the Schools Rules the World

Product Overview

Its been said that "the philosophy of the classroom in this generation will be the philosophy of life in the next generation." Our earliest founding fathers understood this. That's why, after building homes and churches, they established educational institutions like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Dartmouth. Today, most Christians have adopted the false premise that facts are neutral. They believe it doesn't matter who teaches math, science, and history, because facts are facts. The humanists took advantage of this type of thinking by gradually shaping and controlling education in terms of materialist assumptions. Whoever Controls the Schools Rules the World shows how education can be used as a vehicle for social change from Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler to secular humanism and radical Islam. Our worldview opponents understand that education is where the war of ideas is fought. If Christians are serious about securing the future for our children, they must understand the nature of the war we are fighting.

Loving Truth Books & Gifts Review

Is there such a thing as a Doctrinally Neutral Education?

Gary DeMar is a talented author and historian. This collection of short essays laid out in 15 chapters demonstrates his clear logic and attention to detail. Each of the brief chapters is extensively footnoted so that the reader or researcher can dig further into the particular topics that interest him or her.

The essays are collected into three main categories:

1. Who's in Charge?
2. The Pitfall of Pluralism
3. Dispensing with Educational Mythology

In his first chapter, Mr. DeMar discusses the history of modern educational control and the power that Adolf Hitler understood about capturing the minds of students.

In this book he addresses:

• Our courts' appeals to International Law
• A brief history of some of our higher education such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale
• The development of educational philosophy
• Definition of a Biblical Worldview
• The basis for moral understanding
• Evolution and Intelligent Design
• Examining historical facts
• and more

In chapter 8, one of my favorite essays in this book, Mr. DeMar addresses common objections many Christians have to reclaiming their child's education from the hands of the state. This book is a must-read for those who are interested in improving education for their children and for others.
