I agree.
especially in inner-city schools.
Private schools in the inner city perhaps.
I hope it works.
It will not work better than it already does (or doesn't) by government force being added to the equation.
Government involvement in religious and civil society is counterproductive and potentially harmful to the organizations it seeks to help.
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." --Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
I think I do understand your viewpoint and hope you can understand mine. Children who can afford private schools probably have fathers who support them. It's the inner-city schools who most often have fathers who don't. That's why young men need to be trained to be good fathers. It's not going to come naturally to them because of their own fathers' example or lack of it. You must know there's no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. That theory was written by Thomas Jefferson to a pastor in a letter. Our earliest schools were formed by Christians, colleges as well. The early schoolbooks were full of references to God. We've come a long way from that, sadly.
