The primary responsibility for a child’s education belongs to parents, not to the state. So, what can parents do when the state tries to take control? A Christian man, husband, and father who lives in Sweden writes in with today’s question. “Hello, Pastor John! I love this podcast and your teachings. I live in Sweden, a coercive country — socialist in a lot of ways. Homeschooling exemptions for religious convictions were outlawed here not long ago. We must send our children to school, or the government threatens to take them away from us. The state forces children to begin preschool when they’re just six years old. Christian schools are practically illegal, and a school may have a ‘Christian profile,’ but it’s a meaningless title. These few Christian schools are still not allowed to be ‘religious’ or teach a Christian worldview. They’re still forced by law to abide to the same teaching plan as secular, atheistic schools to give children a secular education and must even teach our children LGBTQ as a positive norm. In such a country, Pastor John, how should we parent?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-can-i-protect-my-child-from-state-indoctrination Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
