Welcome to Apologetics with Carl Kerby!
Today, we’re talking about the enemy’s strategies.
For decades now, American students have ranked towards the bottom of industrialized nations in math and nearly as low in other subjects. Believe it or not, American education was once the gold standard of the world.
So, what’s happened?
According to author Joe David, the answer is that American students are no longer taught to THINK.
David said, “It is very rare to find a student with a fresh point of view, derived from clear thinking, secured in place by sound knowledge.”
But don’t blame the kids!
According to David, the government’s nationalized programs have created an environment where achievement-oriented subjects like math, science, language, and logic — ones that actually promote critical thinking — are being upended by an agenda fixated on self-esteem and identity awareness.
Believers need to understand the importance of critical thinking to help reverse education’s downward trend.
And what are other ways the enemy deceives? We’ll discuss them another time.
