Christian home-schoolers revolt by enrolling their own kids in public school

[timothyu]

God actually instructed His people to be set apart from the Canaanites and other groups so they will not embrace their cultures of worshipping other gods, and sacrificing babies.

Yes because at the time there was ( and still is) a battle going on between God and the fallen elohim whose world this is. God's chosen people and land was a worldly version of the Garden, and just as the Garden became contaminated, so did the chosen. As a result today the entire world is a mix of those loyal to fallen elohim and to God. The same applies to the education system. All sides are contaminated.
