Summary

Christians must remember that Public Schools are State Schools. Therefore, “Caesar” is the head of all Public Schools. Christians have been commanded by Christ to “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. So the question is this: Whose image do we see in our children? In other words, are children made in the image of Caesar, or the image of God? As Voddie Baucham famously said, “If we send our children to Caesar, we should not be surprised when they come back as Romans.”

“‘Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?’ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, ‘Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.’ And they brought him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, ‘Whose likeness and inscription is this?’ They said, ‘Caesar's.’ Then he said to them, ‘Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.’” Matthew‬ ‭22:17-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬
