Should a "Christian" woman go to college?

Based on this article by controversial -Lori Alexandar-, she seems to imply that any education post-secondary for women is bad-news.....because they may....gasp.....turn into someone like Taylor Swift in the video age 22.....But I'm like.....um, isn't physical health and healthy friends a NORMAL part of life.....to prevent issues like -depression- -anxiety- etc etc.  Jesus' hung out with the sinners, not with the pharisees and Sadducee for a reason.  (Note: YES some women who mess around too much DO get STD's which are life-threatening....so don't assume life is a free-loader and do what want with one's body)

While I do agree with some of her understandings about college, I simply cannot agree with ALL of her understandings about college.  I do agree with her understanding about "gender identity" and "flawless liberalism" that produces much pride and error with its excessive idolatry on the heart of man, instead of actual redemption.  I also agree that the excessive debt is only a burden on the home, especially if the future wife can't pay it all off on her own or she is extremely ill following college.

There are colleges that, though secular, teach about historical things that people need to know and that affect ALL people.  To this day, we may face extreme amounts of racial hatred within various homes, families and communities if it wasn't for some form of college education about that and the evils that brew in the heart of men.  There is NO EXCUSE for such vile evils to brew, especially in the heart of a person who calls themselves a Christian.

Even as a stay-at-home mom, I still have to deal with the "professional world."  If I could magically cause all babies to be born with unassisted child birth and basic easy to use midwifery, then I would never have to consult the "professional world."  The "professional world" has special certifications to get the career that people want, and that involves use of college education.  That anesthesiologist WILL be needed, if the 10+ children a woman bears have teeth and dental problems.  I would WANT to know that the man behind the curtain is skilled BOTH ethically and knowledge-wise as well.

Does a woman need to be a "professional" in this world to feel successful?  Like Ruth Gainsberg?  No.  She very clearly is a very intelligent woman, but she uses it to praise the will of men, not of God, in a general sense.  Her voting records show that.

From my perspective, just being a stay-at-home-mom does NOT automatically qualify a woman as a godly woman!  There are women who have lived off of the "fatherless home" business for YEARS to raise their children.  These women continue to live reckless lives, praising themselves and buying up the belief that they will never hurt anyone else for their "good behavior."  The next generation has to live off of this mentality.

I have heard of a woman who became a lawyer.  When she got married, she settled down and raised her children to the finest of their ability.  She remained in her faith (perhaps it was even a sort of jewish perspective).  She raised 10 children!  Did she let her education or career get in the way of raising her children?  No.

From my understanding, it is ok to delay college.  It is ok to say no to college and do an alternative independent studies.  It is ok to study basic homemaking skills and remedies.  It is NOT ok to say yes to "scorning" "mocking" "belittling" and other such horrors on the human soul all for the sake of abandoning knowledge.  Why?  Because family-life itself revolves around the conditions of history (like civil wars, WW1, WW2 etc etc) and the conditions of the future generations.    "Pro_29:18  Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."  Knowledge of "the law" and of the bible is essential for a successful home that is equipped to deal with the strains and burdens of being human, and being a LIGHT to the dark world.


If anything, learn "the law" in a parashah style of study and also learn how it connects to the New Testament.  Doing so will help a woman understand the purpose behind JESUS in the first place!  Learn these things from a messianic perspective if at all possible.

Furthermore, why NOT get a little education to help in getting a "better career" in case the husband is ill, injured and simply cannot work to pay off the mortgage.  It would be WORSE to feel like a woman can't get into building a little small business, because she simply is afraid or has no skills.  The only career options available would be in menial task labor, where the insults and corrupt people constantly have to work next to her......making her more stressed than ever when she has to come back home.

Furthermore, -Lori Alexandar- does NOT suggest ALTERNATIVES to HELP a wife or mother learn things from a more frugal perspective so that the view of the world is not so "skewed" or "judgmental" of others.  For example, Masaman, and Barean Ministry....setting up "reading lists" with a wide variety of books (www.goodreads.com).......
