Should Christians Try to Reform the Public School System?

For more than a century, American Christians have assumed, without biblical warrant, that the civil government ought to oversee the education of children. I believe Christians should not pour their efforts into reforming government schools, but rather should abandon them entirely in favor of distinctly Christian education.

Reform is neither possible nor biblically appropriate, because the government-school system is built on philosophical, theological, and structural foundations wholly incompatible with Scripture.
