I would love a world without taxation as much as the next
person; but, it’s unscriptural; thus, it is what it is.
Do you know that Jesus paid taxes? In Matthew 17:
24-27, He miraculously supplied a coin, and told Peter to go fishing, with the
purpose of retrieving a coin to pay the taxes due. To further the point, He told
believers to render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs
to God.
To bring this back to school taxes, ‘ideally’ these tariffs would
be used for the educating of children. This includes supplying a whole lot of tangible
things like books, buildings and salaries, etc. But, no matter how much
money is doled out for monetary things, there are some things the
richest of rich know, that money simply can’t
buy. At the top of this list would be holistic well-being of the
emotional and
spiritual kind.
The downfall of the public school system started with SCOTUS’
defending an atheist’s right to abolish anything God from classrooms across the
U.S., resulting in a majority upheaval of this nation’s views.
All the money/taxes in the world can’t genuinely nourish the
soul of a child. Ask anyone who’s tried to buy authentic peace. There simply are some things the dollar just
can’t buy. I know. I said this twice.
Today’s curriculum lacks the teachings of how to achieve
inner-peace via holistic means. Thus, many children, as noted in the original comment, suffer from inner turmoil for which the ‘government’ solution continues to be Big Pharma
in a bottle.
Many members of the cloth and their flock will be
judged on that Final Day for standing idly by and not pushing back against what’s
most needed for whole living…spiritual matters.
I’ve served time as a classroom teacher and can say
firsthand that the primary ingredient missing from the recipe of everything
taught is…are you ready?…a spiritual divide with discipline. The majority of children
have the conscience and ability to focus on learning; and a teeny-tiny handful
can serve to destroy any hopes of this ever occurring without contention.
Realistically, you can’t blame a 5-year-old who bounces off
the walls because the mother smoked crack during her pregnancy. And, yet, these
innocents get a double blow to future hopes, when they enter the school system, and the remedy for being an offspring
of a crack-addict, is to become a ‘prescription’ addict to suppress the affects of their birth-addiction.
In a nutshell, there is a cure that cannot be found in a
bottle; and, yet this is the ‘cure’ for children who are diagnosed too
frequently with disorders such as ADHD, when most often all they need, in many cases, is the
freedom to run off/expend excess energies.
Unfortunately, no
Christians, or any other faiths that I know of, are filling the streets, pushing
for a return of prayer and inclusion of spiritual enlightenment in the school
curriculum.
Best regards.
Peace.
