Philosophical Outcomes—part 3
One thing for sure, public education will not directly
teach the next generation of church musicians wrong things about God because
they are not allowed to openly teach the knowledge of God (as taught in the
Bible) in their music philosophy.
Although federal law has mandated that public education can no longer
retain God in our educational knowledge, the fact that they will not directly
teach false concepts of God does not indicate that no “God-education” will take
place in public schools and universities.
By eliminating God as the Creator and Lord of music education, public
education relays strong false messages about the nature and value of music to
our young people.
Public education
can no longer recognize God in the development of a philosophical basis for
music education. As a matter of fact,
teaching God as the basis of all philosophical thought is forbidden. The only safe path in public education is to
omit the authority of God in any philosophical discussion of music. In public education, no sacred music concerts
are legal and the sacred classics may only be taught or performed as music
literature. It is often mandated that
there be no Christmas or Easter concerts.
The only time that it is totally legal to mention God in the music
classroom is when the music instructor stubs his toe on the desk leg.
