They don't get it
A while back I was talking to the school administrator and a school board member of large school district near where I live. The high school has about 2000 students. Both of these folks know about my lifestyle of serving in various places around the world these past 25 years. The board member turned to the superintendant and said that she would like to have me speak to the students in an assembly telling of my Christian service work and Christian commitment. While the board member was talking I saw a look on the face of the superintendent that told me that what I might have to say was completely irrelivant and it would never happen.
Does this recent experience have anything to do with the CBS News article that I read recently?

Dad Of A Columbine Victim Asks "Why Did This Happen?"
Oct. 2, 2006 (CBS)QUOTE Sadly, our schools are not safe.
(CBS) "I'm saddened and shaken by the shooting at an Amish school today, and last week's school murders. When my son Dan was murdered on the sidewalk at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, I hoped that would be the last school shooting. Since that day, I've tried to answer the question, "Why did this happen?" This country is in a moral free-fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak, without moral consequences and life has no inherent value. We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you the murder of innocent children is always wrong, including by abortion. Abortion has diminished the value of children. Suicide has become an acceptable action and has further emboldened these criminals. And we are seeing an epidemic increase in murder-suicide attacks on our children. Sadly, our schools are not safe. In fact, we now witness that within our schools. Our children have become a target of terrorists from within. "
