Interestingly that instead of the usual fawning over whatever Doug posts, there is some opposition to his recommendation to 'RUN AWAY!!'.
Michael, in part, wrote: 'Now is not the time to run...This same
logic would call all believers who teach in public schools to head for
the exit as well.'

Tolle, Leg It
By Douglas Wilson
In the aftermath of the
Obergefell decision by the Supreme Court, a lot of
Christian parents are reeling. They know they must
do something, but what can they do? The decision was
so high-handed, so arbitrary, so insolently
rendered, that it would be easy to assume that there
is nothing we can do about it down here at street
level.
But this is false. There is
are many steps we can take, and some of the first
ones are steps we must take. Here is one that
millions of parents could take in just a small
number of weeks — they could pull their kids out of
the government school system.
The necessity of doing this
has been growing increasingly obvious every year,
and now the need for it is open, manifest, and
pretty much on fire. What can Christian parents do? If their
kids are already receiving a Christian education,
they can be encouraged and stand fast — and they can
use the opportunity to openly appeal to Christian
friends who still have their kids in the government
school system. And if they themselves still have
kids where their kids ought not to be . . . well,
this is the perfect opportunity to bolt. If anybody
asks why, a reasonable answer would be anything in
the neighborhood of “fire on the mountain, run,
boys, run!” This is the reason why all government
schools have panic bars on their doors. That clattery shuttery sound
you hear is thousands of evangelicals hitting the
sidewalk.
There are two reasons for
this step, given this Extreme Court decision. If
your children remain in the government schools,
there is now no legal way for them to be taught any
normal view of human sexuality. And, depend upon it,
they will be
taught the other kinds. And second, they will be
taught an approach to civics that sees nothing wrong
with the Supreme Court’s juridical putsch here, and
that is just as worrisome.
Here are some books that
might be able to help. The first two are books that
argue for the need for explicitly Christian
education. The last two argue for the classical and
Christian forms of it, but contain sections that
will be helpful in under-girding our understanding
of how all education is inherently religious, and
therefore must be Christian. Just click on the
covers.
So take up these books, and
leg it out of there. As the great Augustine once
heard, “Tolle, leg it.”

Crank it up and sing along to . . .
"God's Gonna Cut You Down"
"You
can run on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Go
tell that long tongue liar
Go
and tell that midnight rider
Tell
the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well
my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My
head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've
been down on bended knee talkin' to the
man from Galilee
He
spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I
thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He
called my name and my heart stood still
When
he said, "John go do My will!"
Go
tell that long tongue liar
Go
and tell that midnight rider
Tell
the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You
can run on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Well
you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin'
in the dark against your fellow man
But
as sure as God made black and white
What's
down in the dark will be brought to the light
You
can run on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Run
on for a long time
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Sooner
or later God'll cut you down
Go
tell that long tongue liar
Go
and tell that midnight rider
Tell
the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell
'em that God's gonna cut you down"
