Q: Why is school violence a matter of ownership?
A: Let’s think about it this way. If the God of the Bible is our Creator, then that means God owns each one of us. Because He owns us, He has a right to tell us how we should live. We’re accountable to our Creator. Therefore, we must obey God’s laws.
But through most of our public education system today, students are being taught that they’re a product of chance, random processes. They’re just evolved animals. If we’re just animals and there’s no Creator, then who owns us? Actually, this would mean that we own ourselves. Therefore, we’d be accountable to no one but ourselves.
This would also mean that there are no absolutes, so we have a right to decide how we want to liveâ€â€if we can get away with it.
When Johnny is taught at school that he’s a result of evolution, and there’s no Creator, then when Johnny decides to harm his fellow students, one could say that he’s learned his lessons all too well.
