It's time to show we've learned our lesson when it comes to education spend- ing. The best thing we can do for our children is stop letting Uncle Sam run the classroom.

STATE ROAD 61 PETERSBURG, IN Hours: Mon.-Fri.: 8am-7pm • Sat. 8am-5pm SAVE THE DATE April 22 – May 4, 2019 public schools. Why is parental choice so vitally important? The education choice move- ment got started on the idea of competition. We know from our marketplace that nothing produces excellence like com- petition. So why shouldn't we have it in something so vitally impor- tant as education? Arguably, it's even more important in education than in other areas. Why? We know if we have com- petition in automobiles, we will get the best possible and most diverse production of au- tomobiles for consumers. But nobody disagrees about what an automobile is. But how about education? What is it? What does a child need to learn? The Book of Proverbs teaches, "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is preferable to silver! " In our secular culture, ma- ny argue that wisdom cannot be transmitted in schools. Ed- ucation should just be geared to acquiring career and pro- fessional skills — getting gold and silver. But can we have a nation without wisdom and under- standing? And should we pre- tend children can be educated without these? Of course not. But in our divided and con- fused country, there's no con- sensus about what wisdom and understanding are. To get back to the teachers unions, look at their websites. They are shills for abortion, same-sex marriage and LG- BTQ rights. They pretend this is wisdom. And this is what is passing for wisdom in the ed- ucation monopoly called our public school systems. Why, in our free country, should parents be forced to send their children to be in- doctrinated in left-wing cul- ture? In 24 states plus Washing- ton, D.C., public schools are required by law to provide sex education. What are the chil- dren being taught? So freedom and competi- tion in education is not just about a better product. It's about freedom to determine what the product is. In a nation where the pillars of marriage and family have broken down, we must allow wisdom and understanding to be again taught. We must al- low parents, particularly low- income parents, to send their children to Christian schools. In a nation where the in- cidence of out-of-marriage births has quadrupled over the last half-century and the incidence of marriage has dropped 33 percent, we need education that conveys wis- dom and understanding to our children. In a free country, this can only be done through edu- cation freedom and parental choice. Three cheers to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

The deadline is Monday, May 6 at 5 p.m. sons, information about mis- sions to different countries and projects for sharing of faith and education, build- ing structures like schools, churches, water and sani- tation infrastructure, and homes. In carefully listening to the talks, I find that there is much more common ground than differences, although we might express our faiths in different ways. I do find we all have a great love for Christ, and we try to fulfill His command to love God above all things, and to love one another as we love our- selves. So during this Lenten Sea- son, we are able to take stock of our faith journey, and hopefully deepen our spiri- tual growth. There is indeed a common feeling from the comments I heard that our world is changing in a wor- risome direction, and that people of faith must step up to help stem the tide of divi- sions, hatred, apathy, and in- difference. This we must do for the sake of the next generation – our children, grandchildren and the succeeding ones to follow. We must make a seri- ous effort to leave this world a better place than we found it.
