"I was told by a teacher in the Deep South once when I spoke on the necessity for Christian education at the request of the pastor, it was a hostile congregation, they did not like the fact that their pastor was strong for a Christian school, and one person after another at the door told me âwell, you, of course, are not southern, you donât know the south. This is the Deep South, every person in our schools, every teacher is a born again Christianâ. After everyone was gone, this teacher had been standing, watching, came up and said âthey donât know what theyâre talking about. We may be born again Christians, but our textbooks that we are required to stick to are anti-Christian to the coreâ."
