But, what do they expect, turning their children's lives over to the government schools for 8-10 hours each day, 5 days a week? When you abdicate your God-given role as the person to train up your child, this is what happens. R.C. Sproul Jr. has written about this many times. In a nutshell he has said that parents cannot be outraged about sex education or homosexuality being taught in the schools, when they failed/are failing to be outraged with God being taken out/not allowed in the schools. Until they are outraged enough about that and demand change, they cannot be outraged about the other things, because without God, this is what happens.

Unthinkable, and sad.

I guess I should have clarified my thinking in the first post a little more. I did not mean to let anyone think I thought that widows or women who were submitting to their dh's were abdicating their responsibilities. I don't think R.C. Sproul, Jr. does either, although he would have a lot to say about the dh abdicating his responsibility if he demanded the children go to ps, but then, that is a whole 'nuther topic all together!
I truly feel for the widows and for the women whose dh's say they "have" to put their dc in ps. I think that if the church were truly doing their job, at least the widows would be able to continue hs'ing their children. The women whose dh's demand they put the dc in ps, we must pray with them and for them, and be there for them to help them raise those children in the Lord, DESPITE the ps agenda being force-fed them during the day.
In regards to the other parents though, more often than not, it is done for selfish reasons, i.e. they just want to be rid of the kids during the day. I hear so many parents say how glad they are to get the kids back out of the house and into school, so they can have "me" time.
There are also the parents that have the money, if they don't want to homeschool, for a really good christian school, but refuse to spend that money because then they couldn't have their toys or expensive vacations. My sister falls into this category. She wasn't going to be able to keep her cell phone and buy the new car she wanted (absolutely nothing wrong with the car she had and it was under 5 yrs old), so she took my niece out of the really good christian school she was in and put her into the nearby public school, then griped when she had to let her sit through the sex ed classes, in the 4th grade! I told her to think about those things when she is tooling around in that new car, talking on her cell phone. She got in a huff. I reminded her we all make choices and since hers was definitely a "choice", not a "need", she had no right to gripe about what was going on in the ps, since knew that is what went on there and chose to expose her daughter to that anyway.
