Should we teach that violence is the only way?

Obviously not.

But legislators here in Michigan don’t seem to agree.

Several representatives have introduced a bill this month that would allow our public school teachers to carry a concealed weapon.

I have struggled for the past six years with the idea of homeschool vs. public school.  I do feel that public schools are important. I think that the current beauracratic system is doomed for failure, but nonetheless, it’s the only option for many children.

But now I am starting to wonder whether it is true that any education is better than no education at all. Teaching children that we can only fight violence with violence, that shedding blood is the only way to peace? Perhaps no education is the better way to go these days.

I’ll be interested to see how this bill goes. It would certainly be the final nail in the coffin of our family’s public school future.
