Does the public school put the kingdom of God first? Of course not. The public school puts the kingdom of man first. It is, after all, run by the kingdom of man. First and foremost, the public school is an indoctrination unit, designed to raise children who are obedient and submissive entities of the state. The public school can never put the kingdom of God first because, in theory at least, it is supposed to be neutral in regard to religion. All religions must be treated as having equal value, which is really no value at all except perhaps as rallying points for good works and good will toward others. Often, the reality is that biblical Christianity, because it is exclusivist (“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”—John 14:6), is treated with scorn. When you send your children to public school, you are telling them that the kingdom of God does not come first. You are telling them that the kingdom of God may be good enough for Sunday, and possibly other bits here and there. But if you want a good education, you had better go to the kingdom of man. And you are also telling them that you do not really believe God’s promise that if you put the kingdom of God and His righteousness first, “all these things shall be added unto you.” - Peter Ditzel
