Public schools are increasingly teaching students to accept what they hear in school as fact and not question it, even though a great deal of it is politically correct but false. Churches need to educate both parents and students to critically examine what they hear and not be misled by propaganda put out by the schools and media. When I taught sociology at a local college, I ended up writing my own textbook because much of the information in the textbooks was outdated and false, or at the very least incomplete. The textbooks added news events like 9-11 to make them appear up to date but never examined old material. For instance, the textbooks talked about how African nations suffered under colonialism, in spite of the fact that colonialism had ended in Africa over 30 years before and most of the suffering is the result of civil war and corruption within their own governments. I published my lessons in two books under “Truly in the World, But Not of it” to make them available to churches and individuals. It is published by Outskirts Press and deals with issues in relationships, health, welfare, government, education, and finances and is simple enough for the average reader.
