Resurrection of Learning

 

   

Throughout May, three television programs will be aired during The Coral Ridge Hour, the weekly show produced by the Florida-based ministry of Dr. D. James Kennedy. The programs will investigate problems with the U.S. public school system, including the role and influence of the National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers' union. Senior producer Jerry Newcombe says the TV campaign is meant not only to raise awareness of the problems with public education but also to look at possible solutions. He says Dr. Kennedy, for years, has been "banging the drum that we should apply the mind of Christ and the Bible to all of life, not just our spiritual life -- and that would include education."
