Education is good… But be careful.
"I feel to warn you that one of the chief means of misleading our youth and destroying the family unit is our educational institutions. There is more than one reason why the Church is advising our youth to attend colleges close to their homes where institutes of religion are available. It gives the parents the opportunity to stay close to their children, and if they become alerted and informed, these parents can help expose the deceptions of men like Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, John Dewey, John Keynes and others. There are much worse things today that can happen to a child than not getting a full education. In fact, some of the worst things have happened to our children while attending colleges led by administrators who wink at subversion and amorality. Said Karl G. Maeser, 'I would rather have my child exposed to smallpox, typhus fever, cholera or other malignant and deadly diseases than to the degrading influence of a corrupt teacher.'" (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 307.)
Thoughts on that?
Personally I love it!
We should love and cherish and uphold and fight for truth, strive to be educated and seek desperately for true principles.
We should be excited for every opportunity to learn something uplifting and true.
But we should run from falseĀ corruptingĀ ideas of men, like they were the plague coming to infect us and leave us a blody pulp of flesh rotting in the scorching desert.

Interesting to see who President Benson calls out as deceivers! I loved a lot about my BYU experience, but was surprised to find far more corruption in some areas than I found at the community college I went to before BYU. BYU was excellent, but I’m just sayin’.
