“Christian schools must recognize that these new progressive ideologies pose an existential threat to their continued existence. As colleges around the country struggle with enrollment and face the risk of closure at an unprecedented rate, Christian schools must send a clear message that their education is fundamentally different from what goes on in secular institutions. Parents, donors, and k-12 educators must have confidence that what happens at Christian U will build on, rather than tear down, the early education of their students.”
(David Talcott – truthXchange) For some time now, truthXchange has been warning the church about the inroads that post-Christian ideologies are making into Christian colleges. The pagan worldview that reasserted itself in America in the late 20th century has now incorporated new ideas about sexuality, race, and other hot-button topics. A recent series of articles in mainstream outlets shows just how bad things have become in both secular and Christian higher education.
That secular education has become hostile to the truth is at one level not surprising. In a broadly Christian culture, the expectation that we will be truth-seekers spills over from Christianity into the broader social world. Colleges have had many problems, but until recently there was no debate whether the purpose of a college was to discover the truth and to pass it on to the next generation. The ability to freely discuss and debate contested ideas is part of that truth-seeking enterprise. Professors do research, make presentations, and have their conclusions challenged by their colleagues. There were always limits, of course – heresy and political insurrection weren’t treated as ordinary topics for discussion. But, today, the limits have moved.
