In all of America, education is changing at a pace that few could even have imagined ten years ago.
Artificial intelligence is used to train machines to teach our children. School systems enclose gender ideology and political agendas in their curriculum with little attention to the input of the parents.
At the same time, traditional values are pushed to the margins and our students are caught in the middle.

We witness a moment when urgent attention requires: shall we retain the soul of education, or vomend to machines and ideologies that do not know the human heart?
We must now act to prevent AI from becoming an extremely left-wing Trojan horse
The recent announcement that Microsoft, OpenAi and Anthropic are launching an AI-driven “Teacher Training Academy” is a sign of what is coming. At first glance it sounds innovative, perhaps even useful. But the deeper question is this: what is education really for?
Education is not just about providing information. It is about shaping lives. The character is at best, learns the discernment and prepares students to serve their communities with integrity. That type of formation cannot be automated. It requires a relationship. It requires mentoring. It requires people.
We are not an anti-technology at Southeestern University. In fact, we actively investigate ethical ways to use AI to serve students and improve access to learning.
America has the power to lead the AI revolution – and the leadership to make it happen
But we draw a clear limit: AI can help educators, but it should never replace them. Because no machine, no matter how advanced, can love a student, a virtue of modeling or guiding a young adult to a goal of goal.
We believe that every student was made according to the image of God, and that forming a soul requires more than a printed circuit board.
The deeper danger in this shift is not only logistics, it is philosophical. When we hand over the role of teacher to algorithms, we also hand over the power to decide what is being taught, how it is learned and which values are emphasized. In an era in which AI already reflects and strengthens the ideological bias, that should concern every parent and educator in America.

Are we willing not to leave -selected technology companies, with their own world images and profit motifs, to determine how future generations learn, think and believe?
This is about more than machines. It is about the mission of education itself.
We must recover education as a deep human, deep moral enterprise. We must raise teachers, not replace them. We must ensure that classrooms remain spaces where students are not only informed but transformed, not only prepared for a career, but also prepared for a calling.

This is the moment for Christian colleges and universities to courageous. We must protect the relational core of learning, searching for truth without compromises and remind us of our nation that the formation of a soul cannot be outsourced.
Let’s use technology, but never used by it. Let us build an educational future that reflects the dignity of every student, and the responsibility that we must form with wisdom, courage and conviction.
