\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We introduce them (to evolution) and let them know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s out there,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Berry said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153To be honest with you, creation and evolution, neither one of them is true science. If you look at the scientific method, somebody had to be there to observe it and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to be able to repeat it. Christian college isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t for everybody and our kids are going to be hit with it when they go out there, so they need to know what to expect and the way we approach it is, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthese are the tenants of what evolution teaches,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 but then we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go on the background and say now this is where the Bible comes in and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a Christian school. We believe the Bible\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true. What does the Bible say about it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

This year, for the first time, FCS using textbooks exclusively from Bob Jones University Press, which works scripture into every subject. But Berry said that is an additional layer on top of what students would be getting in public school and nothing is left out.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153One of the reasons why we chose Bob Jones academically is when they set their textbook up, they go through a strenuous process and look at the core objectives that are required by a lot of states and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in South Carolina, so obviously they look at the South Carolina state standards,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Berry. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re gonna pull the three or four leading state curriculums in the nation, like Texas and Florida, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to compare and their curriculum covers every core objective.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The common belief is that people are sending their kids out of affluence or want better education for their kids and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a wrong perspective,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Earwood said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Many of these parents value the religious education and make many sacrifices to send them there, so it is a conundrum because as the economy has continued to tank, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been harder and harder to continue supporting that decision to make religion an education priority.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
