Summary

Today we're reacting to Jen Wilkin and Jonathan Pennington's debate on public education vs. private education (hosted by the Gospel Coalition). We present this argument with its full context but break down some of what Jen Wilkin, who represents the pro-public-school side, says specifically. In response to Wilkin's claim that woke curriculum can be a fear-mongering tactic, we take a look at what's happening in schools even in red states. Wilkin also mentions that our decision on where to send our kids to school impacts our communities, but is that a fair argument for public schools, and does that put our own children at risk for the "good of community"? We cover other school choice considerations such as finances and at-home discipleship, then look at Wilkin's response on Twitter to some of the backlash against her position. Lastly, we look at the perspective of a show favorite, Voddie Baucham, who offers words of caution about sending children to public school. --- Links: The Gospel Coalition: "Should Christian Parents Send Their Children to Public Schools?" https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/video/good-faith-debates-public-schools/ The Dallas Express: "Parent Confronts Richardson ISD Over Sexual Content in Jr High Reading" https://dallasexpress.com/education/parent-confronts-richardson-isd-over-sexual-content-in-jr-high-reading/ Exodus Mandate: “Top Five Reasons NOT to Send Your Kids Back to Public School” https://exodusmandate.org/public-schools/top-five-reasons-not-to-send-your-kids-back-to-public-school --- Relevant Episodes: Ep 495 | The Truth About ‘Social Emotional Learning’ & What Your Kids Are Reading | Guest: Sherry Clemens https://apple.co/3ZojXCD Ep 279 | The Corruption of Public Education & the Need for School Choice | Guest: Corey A.
