I just came across the assertion earlier today that public schools were founded in America with The Old Deluder Act of 1647. The purpose of public education was apparently to teach children to read so that they could then read Scripture.

The Old Deluder Act begins with, "It being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures, as in former times by keeping them in an unknown tongue, so in these latter times by persuading from the use of tongues, that so that at least the true sense and meaning of the original might be clouded and corrupted with false glosses of saint-seeming deceivers"

The complete text of The Old Deluder Act can be found here.

I was surprised to learn this - can anyone else on the forum confirm that this was, in fact, the original reason for the establishment of public education in America?

And today parents want to send them there 365 days a year... and let the schools bring up their children because they do not know themselves what is right or wrong and rather leave it up to the government via its teachers and approved curriculum to instill human values in them.

I remember having read John Taylor Gatto's "An Underground History of American Education" a few years ago. He described public education in America as being modeled on the militaristic Prussian schooling system and the Hindu schooling system designed to teach each person only what they needed to know for "their place" in society. It seems to have offered the industrial giant a "uniform citizenry" taught enough to know how to do their jobs, but not enough to know how to compete successfully against them. And since then, it seems to have degenerated further into a system of indoctrination and control for the Socialist Secular Humanists (or as I call them, the Socialist SUCK-ular Humanists). If the idea of the Old Deluder Act was to educate kids so they could be on guard against The Old Deluder, it looks like The Old Deluder's minions figured out how to hijack it for his ends, assuming the stated goal was indeed the original goal.

The Old Deluder was always in control of education, then, because "the Scriptures" to which the act refers were undoubtedly the KJV variety of Pauline Christianity. That's as anti-Yahowah as it gets.

The hockey reference cracked me up. Thanks!

Glad I could provide a good laugh. Since finding out that Yahowsha/Yahshua/Yahushua (apparently vocalized "Yah-owe-sha or Yah-shoo-ah or Yah-hoo-shoo-ah?) is the Messiah's actual name and "Jesus" is a sound alike to "Gesus" of the Druid religion (regarding "The HORNED ONE" as God? Umm, yeahhhh, which spirit is THAT honoring?), that's the only context in which I'll ever say "Jesus saves".
