Southern Baptists have yet again rejected a resolution to exit the public schools.
Baptists approved a resolution to investigate a supposed "homosexual agenda" in public schools last year.
I predict that resolutions supporting an "exit strategy" from public schools will not gain traction until the Supreme Court rules that private religious schools are eligible to receive tax-payer funded vouchers for education. When that happens, nearly every Baptist church will open a private school and the public schools will be emptied of Baptists.
Baptists couldn't keep schools segregated according to race, but they'll soon see that schools are segregated according to religion.

I would hope there would not be a mass exodus of members of any single religious group from the public school systems. An article I read about the SBC exit resolution had a couple of very good points that were raised by SBC leaders. First was fact that Baptists could be a positive influence in school setting. I believe this can be done without being too pushy. Second, there are many good teachers who happen to be Baptists in the public school system. An exit could certain have many of them feeling left out.
