Violation of a Sacred Trust
21st February 2022
Public schools have broken a sacred trust. Parents have both the right and responsibility to care for, teach and train their children. When they send them to a public school (or a private one, for that matter) they are allowing that school to teach those children on their behalf. It is a sacred trust. The parent is trusting the school to provide education for the children on behalf of the parent whose job and right it is to bring up their children as they see fit.
It is not up to the educator to decide what kind of person they would like to produce. It is not up to the educator to instill values in their children that are contrary to the wishes of the parents. It is not up to the educator to make the children do something the parent does not want them to do. For educators to do this, as it is being done today, is to break a sacred trust.
People who send their children to ‘Christian’ schools have know this, and acted on that knowledge, for half a century. The Pandemic Panic has brought reality home to those who thought that living in a Ritzy Suburb meant that the local public schools were as safe for People Like Us as private schools would be.
