I love this! “The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.” This is something that all of us need, especially those who are sons and daughters of the king. We all need to learn how to love what is supremely beautiful, girls and boys both. It is not good to make arbitrary rules about who can be educated in a reaction against the culture at large.
I appreciated this. I've noticed a weird trend in Christian circles lately. Due to the anti-biblical influence of modern feminism infecting even churches (especially with the increasing popularity of women "pastors") it seems women are now being treated as though they are too stupid or to rebellious to properly read, understand, and obey the Bible.
Please know that we are not all that way! I want nothing to do with modern feminism. But I also think it's important for all of us, men and women, to be well educated both biblically and in general. I wasn't sure what your church's/ministries position was on this issue. I may be "just" a chick, but I'm not giving up my Bible or my other books without a fight!
"This is because the level of education you provide for your daughters will be the level attained to by your grandsons." I whole-heartedly agree with this. If your daughters are not well edcuated individuals, it is almost impossible that they will have a clue about the education their sons should have. If they are not taught the value of intellectual growth/development, then they will not see any reason to instill the need for it in their sons. The hand that rocks the cradle...
Interestingly enough, I have primarily heard this idea from mothers: "The woman's place is in the home, and we should educate accordingly. My daughters don't need to know ... to be a homemaker." How would you respond to this?
"This is because the level of education you provide for your daughters will be the level attained to by your grandsons." Is this necessarily true? The mother can employ other resources such as Christian schools, books, etc.
