As the Bible also says:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

2 Tim. 3:1-5

or

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."

2 Tim. 4:3-5

or

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (apostasy) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition..."

2 Thess. 2:3

or

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

2 Peter 3:3-10

“God is thus the principle of definition, of law, and of all things. He is the premise of all thinking, and the necessary presupposition for every sphere of thought. It is blasphemy therefore to attempt to "prove" God; God is the necessary presupposition of all proof. To ground any sphere of thought, life, or action, or any sphere of being, on anything other than the triune God is thus blasphemy. Education without God as its premise, law which does not presuppose God and rest on His law, a civil order which does not derive all authority from God, or a family whose foundation is not God's word, is blasphemous.”
-R.J. Rushdoony from The Institutes of Biblical Law

“...the parents have a duty to provide the child with a godly education. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" (Prov. 1:7); "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom" (Prov. 9:10). Wisdom rests on faith, and true knowledge has as its presupposition the sovereign God. There can be no neutrality in education. Education by the state will have statist ends. Education by the church will be geared to promoting the church.”

“Children are to be brought up in something; that something is the Word of God. The arrival of the New Covenant did not make godly education somehow optional. We can consider the question another way. What area of life has God declared to be neutral, in which it is permissible to ignore Him, and His Word, while we instruct our children? The answer is that there is no such neutral zone; it does not exist.” -Douglas Wilson


“Jesus requires His people to love the Lord their God with all of their minds (Matt. 22:37). This means that the command to be teaching our children all the time must not be interpreted as simply applying to religious instruction, set of by itself in an airtight compartment. If our children are not taught to think like Christians when they study math, history, or science, then they are not obeying the command to love God with all their minds. And if they are not obeying the command, the parents are held responsible.”
-Douglas Wilson

“There is little hope of children who are educated wickedly. If the dye have been in the wool, it is hard to get it out of the cloth.”
-Jeremiah Burroughs

“Knowledge without practice serves only as a torch to light men to hell.”
-Thomas Watson

“Hebrew education was intensely practical. The common opinion held that a man who did not teach his son the law and a trade, the ability lo work, reared him lo be a fool and a thief. It is said that Simeon, the son of the famed Gamaliel, observed: "Not learning but doing is the chief thing."4 Josephus, in his work Against Apion compared the education of the Hebrews with that of the Greeks. Greek education veered from the severely practical to the abstract and theoretical, he pointed out, whereas Biblical law has a healthy relationship between principle and practice,

Fourth, Biblical education, being family-centered and emphasizing the responsibility of parents and children, was productive of responsible people. A person reared and schooled in the doctrine that he has a responsibility to care for his parents as need arises, provide for his children, and, to the best of his ability, leave an inheritance of moral discipline and example as well as material wealth, is a person highly attuned to responsibility. In such an educational system, the state is not the responsible party but the family is, and the man has a duty to be a competent and provident head of his household, and the wife a skilled helpmeet to her husband. The abandonment of a family-oriented education leads to the destruction of masculinity, and it renders women either fluffy luxuries for men or aggressive competitors to men. Men and women having lost their function gyrate unstably and without a legitimate sense of function.”

“The path to knowledge, understanding, and wisdom commences with the fear of the Lord. The foundation for a genuine knowledge of anything is a humble and worshipful acknowledgment of God as the creator and sustaining bedrock of every aspect of each particular fact of the universe (inanimate and animate).”
-James Nickel from Mathematics: Is God Silent?

“True motivation, either in teaching or in learning, is generated by worship.”
-James Nickel from Mathematics: Is God Silent?

“Paul infallibly declares in Colosians 2:3-8 that “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in Christ.” Note that he says all wisdom and knowledge is deposited in the person of Christ - whether it be about the war of 1812, water’s chemical composition, the literature of Shakespeare, or the laws of logic! Every academic pursuit and every thought must be related to Jesus Christ, for Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6) To avoid Christ in your thought at any point, then, is to be misled, untruthful, and spiritually dead. To put aside your Christian commitments when it comes to defending the faith or sending your children to school is willfully to steer away from the only path to wisdom and truth found in Christ. It is not the end or outcome of knowledge to fear the Lord; it is the beginning of knowledge reverence Him (Prov. 1:7-9).”
- Greg L. Bahnsen

“...Unless the school fosters the fear of the Lord as the beginning of knowledge and of wisdom, the influence of the home and of the church, even when it is to a high degree exemplary, tends to be negated, and it is common knowledge and experience that in many cases the school has undermined what home and church have sought to establish and develop.” - John Murray

“...If the Biblical revelation is ultimate for thought, outlook, and practice, we must readily see the implications for education.”
- John Murray

“...it is a fact that unless children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, they, and the society which they constitute or control, will go to destruction. Consequently, when a state resolves that religious instruction shall be banished from the schools and other literary institutions, it virtually resolves on self-destruction.” - Charles Hodge

rj78,

Women are never "named as elders". These passages you list (1 Tim. 5:5-10; Titus 2:3) are speaking of older women not the role of elder. It never ceases to amaze me how professing Christians will twist one part of scripture in order to overthrow another part they don't like.
