Dr. Alex McFarland recently told American Family Radio that secular education has "definitely been a measurable negative for our country."
He talked about his 2007 book that was based on his "What You'll Hear Your Freshman Year: Preparing for the Ways College Will Challenge Your Faith" seminar.
"I interviewed 300 college students from about 20 states for that book, and even 10 years ago, the incredibly just at best unnecessary and at worst ungodly, un-American indoctrination that students go through not only in classes like anthropology and history and psychology, but just in freshman orientation, was terrible," he shared.
McFarland recalled one interview with a student from Phoenix who was going through freshman orientation at the University of Arizona.
"I'm not going to repeat what was part of this, and it was validated by a number of students, but it was immoral," the apologist told the "Today's Issues" crew. "It was unspeakably nasty sexual indoctrination."
Secular educators, he said, very often have contempt for God and family. So, when an impressionable young freshman who has been raised in traditional values and Christian morality comes in, those educators delight in denigrating that and almost bullying students into complicity and silence.
McFarland, who has observed secular education's national stranglehold on worldview and its negative effect on the country, agrees with President-elect Donald Trump's campaign suggestion that changes should be made to education policy.
