Yes, but Christians of the past were wrong to turn education of their children over to the State. But at the time, the State was smaller, not as powerful, not as evil...

"Progressive" education = Prussian schooling = mass indoctrination
But originally the adjective "progressive" was applied to the noun "Christian"

In my view the divide is Aristotelians vs Platonists (who were pagans) and this applies also to Christians (Aquinas vs Augustine) and atheists (Rand vs Kant)
Aristotle/Aquinas/Rand:
The normal world is real & the normal man can understand it; man should aim for some form of well-being or self-cultivation in accordance with individual reason.
Plato/Augustine/Kant:
The normal world is unreal or unknowable or secondary to some other unknowable realm. Man should aim for gratification of his whims, or self-sacrifice for others, or duty to the group or State.
I have my own criticisms of Rand but I agree with her basically realist/rationalist orientation and the basics of this historical outline
