Rapid growth seen in number of conservative Christian schools SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Frustration with public education seems to be growing among the nation’s Southern Baptists, with supporters of Christian schools and home schooling arguing that if God is absent from the classroom then their children should leave, too. The number of conservative Christian schools grew by nearly 11 percent between 1999-2000 and 2001-2002, to 5,527, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s latest statistics. Earlier this year, a resolution proposed at the national meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention — which guides the nation’s largest Protestant denomination — urged parents to withdraw their children from “officially Godless” “government schools” in favor of religious education.
