Given recent narratives around the “evangelical” political movement in the USA, a question arises: Do America’s Christian independent schools contribute to political polarization?
David Hunt, Cardus' Education and B.C. Director has written an interesting article on this question that is published by CACE (Center for the Advancement of Christian Education). He mentions that a recent Cardus Education Study shows that churches and religious charities overcontribute to the common good, as do Christian schools and their graduates. He concludes, "More than any other graduates, those from Protestant schools show the greatest propensity to have an obligation to take action against wrong and injustice. This inclination gives me hope, not just for my dramatic neighbours to the south, but for the world."
