Need to Fight Communism
But with even the most optimistic of out statesmen decrying the subtle inroads
of Communism in the U. S., I realize more than ever the need to educate the
whole child; the need for the giving spiritual stability to out children,
having the, know what they believe and why. Since it is against the law for the
public schools to do this even if they wish to, I believe the Christian day
school is the answer.
This is why I am leaving Culver, though I do so with genuine regret.
