This article is a draft. FairMormon editors are currently editing it. We welcome your suggestions on improving the content.

Criticism

• Does the Church Educational System (CES) insists that gospel learning takes precedence over secular learning?
• Does the level of activity in the Church decrease as educational level increases?

Source(s) of the criticism

• Simon Southerton, Losing a Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA, and the Mormon Church (Salt Lake City, UT: Signature Books, 2004) 141. ( Index of claims )

Response

Critics charge that as a person becomes more educated, that they are more likely to become inactive or leave the Church. In order to avoid this, it is claimed that the Church Educational Systems (CES) deliberately promotes Gospel learning over secular learning.
