The idea that a tax supported public school system would, or could, be used to unleash this vicious cultural and spiritual poison into out young people's consciousness is both extremely offensive and quite possibly illegal.

Sponsored Are You 'Woke' or Awake? It seems as though "wokeness" ideology is taking over our society with everyone from churches, to schools, to giant corporations seeing who can be the most "woke." Generally, "woke" ideas emphasize feelings over facts, pretend that individuals determine reality for themselves (i.e. your "truth"), put a priority on affirming feelings, ideas, or behaviors rather than willing someone's actual good, and often deny even the ability to know objective truth. Being "woke" means you have become enlightened to the alleged systemic oppression of various groups and you vow to fight for "social justice" which usually means working for equal economic and social outcomes in a given context. In reality, the current popular understanding of "social justice" that undergirds the "woke" movement is the opposite of the good all humans should pursue and is anything but just (i.e. giving someone their due). Historic Christianity, and even things like logic and science, are seen as opressive, racist, bigoted, etc. Today's "woke" culture is tearing our society apart and erecting barriers to people considering the true Gospel and the freedom it provides. LOVING OUR NEIGHBORS WELL To effectively engage with this "woke" culture, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of theology, philosophy, and apologetics—the bedrock of an accredited degree or certificate from Southern Evangelical Seminary and Bible College (SES). SES is committed to training believers to effectively proclaim the Gospel, engage bad ideas in the public square, and defend objective truth and goodness. As SES co-founder, Dr. Norman Geisler, said, "[Apologetics] is opening the door, clearing the rubble, and getting rid of the hurdles so that people can come to Christ." Regardless of your particular vocation or ministry context, sound apologetics that is undergirded with good philosophy and theology is a must for doing the heavy lifting of removing the hurdles that prohibit many in our "woke" post-Christian society from considering the Gospel. We cannot love our neighbors well and lead them to the feet of Jesus if we sacrifice truth and goodness on the false altar of "wokeness" ideology. It's time to wake up.
