In 2014, the National Education Association (NEA) held
a conference in Denver, Colorado. Below is a partial list of
resolutions adopted by the association. 2 Note the similarity
to the communist party goals.
The National Education Association (NEA):
• Wants unlimited funding from the federal government.
• Opposes homeschooling. The NEA believes that home-
schooling programs based on parental choice cannot
provide the student with a comprehensive education
experience. All curriculum should be provided by the
state.
• Supports early childhood education starting from birth.
• Supports financial aid for undocumented students.
• Promotes global education (UN standards over the
U.S. Constitution). The NEA endorses that the United
States should recognize and support the International
Criminal Court as the authority.
• Promotes the recognition of and participation in Earth
Day.
• Wants teachers to be exempt from censorship and
lawsuits when teaching sex education. In addition, the
NEA believes that to facilitate the realization of human
potential, it is the right of every individual to live in an
environment of freely available information and knowl-
edge about sexuality.
• Believes that all organizations that oppose the NEA
should be labeled extremist.
• Believes that competency testing should not be used as
a requirement for hiring or promoting teachers.
“Looking back, I realize that my
church upbringing didn't stand a
chance against all of the immersive
‘education’ that I’d received.”
Brian Rohrbough (Son Dan was
murdered in the Columbine mas-
sacre), “Heavenly or Earthly Trea-
sures,” IndoctriNation, 2012, p. 20.

I am not suggesting that all teachers endorse secularism
in the schools or the Communist philosophy. What has
happened is that the overall philosophy of the public educa-
tion system as well as secular universities promote these
concepts.
A BIG question
Why has this been allowed to happen in the Christian
culture (churches, schools, and homes)? There are several
reasons. Some of these include:
• Apathy
• A lack of discernment in the church due to lack of good
teaching
• A lack of strong biblical teachers who hold to the
authority of Scripture in our churches and Christian
universities
• A willingness to compromise in order to “get along”
What can be done?
First, we must recognize that we are in a battle. Second, we
must recognize where the battle is taking place. The battle is
largely taking place on two fronts:
• The public education system and universities
• The Bible’s foundation (Genesis)
The following quotes provide a summary of the devastat-
ing effects the public education system has had on our youth.
“Unfortunately, our schools are all too often indoctrination
chambers where children come to be scrubbed of their trust
of parents, their church, and their sexual identity, and are
force-fed a diet of secularism and immorality.” Erwin Lutzer
(Ph.D., Senior Pastor Moody Church, Chicago, Professor of
Bible and Theology, Moody Bible Institute), When a Nation
Forgets God, p. 224.
“In fact, the public school system has done more to
undermine the basic principles of freedom, free enterprise,
patriotism, and Christianity than any other single institution.”
Marlin Maddoux (Founder of the USA Radio Network and
Alliance Defense Fund), Public Education Against America,
2006, p. 76.
“The correlation is clear: If we continue to send our children
to Caesar for their education, we need to stop being surprised
when they come home as Romans.” Voddie Baucham, Jr.
(M.Div., D.Min., D.D.), IndoctriNation, 2012, p. 263.
