Christianity Today Editor Urges Parents to Ship Children Off to Public School Indoctrination Camps

Stefani McDade, a cronie of Russell Moore—both of whom seem to have taken up residence as thought-leaders in leftist Christianity—has been named the “theology editor” at Christianity Today. Yes, that Christianity Today—once a respectable outlet for serious Christians but now a glorified progressive mouthpiece masquerading as a platform for the faithful.

McDade recently published an article and then took to Twitter/X to endorse one of the most foolish, irresponsible ideas a professing Christian could have, shipping your children off to public schools.

In her tweet, she equates public schools with "strength training" for children's faith, urging parents to let their kids "wrestle" with worldly counter-narratives while under their care.

A lovely sentiment, no?

But let's be real—this is about as well-thought-out as sending lambs into a den of wolves and calling it "strength training" for the lambs. McDade, and her ilk—people like Russell Moore, David French, Mike Cosper, and every other wolf in sheep's clothing trying to convince Christians that their kids need exposure to secular indoctrination camps—are deeply confused at best, and dangerous at worst.

McDade's tweet reeks of the same soft-minded, progressive theology that has infected so much of the church today. "Let them wrestle with worldly counter-narratives," she says. Right. Because five-year-olds are just so adept at dismantling the deeply insidious ideologies being fed to them by the pervs that man the classrooms.

These children walk into these rainbow-splattered classrooms with leftist propaganda hanging all over the place and are enamored by the deceptive image it portrays. To Kindergarten children, rainbows are pretty and attractive—but to the purple-haired trans-woman in the classroom, it means “I’m queer, that’s normal, and celebrate it with me.”

These aren't "counter-narratives," Stefani. They're full-on indoctrinations—an all-out assault on Christianity—and simple decency, for that matter—aimed directly at children and undermining the very faith she claims to care about. But hey, at least your kids will learn how to color inside the lines while they're being brainwashed.

Of course, McDade drags out John 17:15 to justify her nonsense. Jesus' prayer, she argues, shows that Christians are meant to stay in the world but be kept from the evil one. Yes, because what Jesus really meant was, "Hey, make sure your toddlers go toe-to-toe with militant Marxist ideologues, radical gender activists, and teachers who think CRT is a sacrament."

McDade is grossly out of her depth here—Jesus' prayer was for His disciples, mature believers who were being sent into the world as the light of the gospel. He wasn't talking about children—He wasn’t commissioning your six-year-old to be a missionary in the second-grade classroom where pronouns and gender fluidity are discussed more than arithmetic.
