Why Our Schools Are Not Teaching Some Important Truths

A citizen placed the following words in the Journal Junction section of The Journal newspaper of Martinsburg, WV on 1/31/07:

"Does this country know we are heading for a civil war? They tell us where to smoke, when we can smoke, that we have to wear seat belts, what we can build and can't..... This to me sounds like a dictatorship instead of a democratic government...."

If the teachings of the educational systems were consistent with God and jesus Christ, all school teachings would be rational. It is rational not to smoke because smoking causes cancer. It is rational to wear seat belts because lives are saved in auto accidents. It is also rational for a government to regulate home standards, bridge standards, appliance standards, auto standards, medical and hospital standards, etc.

It is well known that when a government makes rational laws, the freedom of its people will increase. But, it is also well known that when a government makes arbitrary laws, the freedom of its people will decrease. Today, the US government is decreasing the freedom of its people because it is making many more arbitrary laws than rational laws. The US government makes many more arbitrary laws than rational laws because its lawmakers do not consider God when they make laws.

Since all rational laws are either Laws of Nature or Laws of Nature's God, as the US founders told us in the Declaration of Independence, the US government became irational when it decided to remove the Declaration of Independence from the body of US laws. So, this citizen was right to say that the US government sounds like a dictatorship. But, this citizen is apparently ignorant of flaws in our educational system.
