Question 1 of 5:

What statistic should concern Christians the most about government schools?

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: Alex Newman stated that data suggests approximately 80% of children from Christian homes who spend 12 years in government schools leave the faith and leave the church, and many do not return. He presented this as one of the most alarming indicators of the system’s influence on worldview and belief.

Question 2 of 5:

Who did Alex Newman identify as the primary architect of the modern government school system?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: While many people associate public education with John Dewey or Horace Mann, Newman argued that Robert Owen was the earliest and most influential figure behind the concept of government-controlled education. He described Owen as a socialist whose ideas laid the foundation for later educational systems.

Question 3 of 5:

What did Robert Owen describe as the "trinity of the most monstrous evils"?

Correct Answer: D.

Explanation: According to Newman, Robert Owen considered marriage and family, religion (especially Christianity), and private property to be society’s greatest evils. Newman argued that Owen’s educational ideas were intended to undermine these institutions and replace them with collectivist alternatives.

Question 4 of 5:

How were Robert Owen's educational ideas first implemented on a large scale?

Correct Answer: D

Explanation: Newman explained that Owen’s ideas were reportedly taken to Frederick William III of Prussia, who implemented a state-controlled education system. Newman described this as one of the first large-scale government education systems and a model later studied by reformers in the United States.

Question 5 of 5:

What was the purpose of the 1647 "Old Deluder Satan Act" according to Alex Newman?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Newman emphasized that the Old Deluder Satan Act was not the beginning of government schools. Instead, it required that children learn to read so they could access the Bible and avoid deception. Parents remained primarily responsible for education, with local communities providing oversight to ensure no child was neglected educationally.
