I know it is easier to do so, but we must be careful not to use a broad brush when condemning public schools. Not all school boards are the same. I have worked in 3 different school districts and they are very different. There seems to be some hasty generalization going on.
And we should be careful that this is not a divisive issue in our local churches. Our unity is around the truth of the gospel not individual educational choices or personal convictions of families.
I keep up with what happens in schools throughout the country (you will find this common with many home educators). I also have attended more than my own fair share of schools from one coast to the other and overseas. While no, not EVERY. SINGLE. school may be awful, the trend is such that government schools are out of the this family's picture frame.
On unity, well it sounds like the SBC is calling for unity in this matter (though I get where you are coming from on this matter however, the PB is a good place to pound out the whys and the which is better ideas )
