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 in
the United States 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.
Thought for the Day
The fact that public music education can not consider
Christ to be preeminent in the music education process is reason enough for
Christians to consider Christ centered music rduation to be a conviction.
