In 1962, the Court examined a simple twenty-two word prayer, first used to negate prayer in schools:
“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country.”
This simple prayer, said by children, acknowledged God. Americans’ indifference allowed the removal of prayer from our schools. This is but one of the steps toward complete destruction of America’s original Judeo-Christian educational system. This value-free environment has resulted in chaos.
David Barton graphically illustrates how America has plummeted from righteous living, prosperity, and success in the last quarter-century. Consider the following charts compiled from his publication, America: America: To Pray or Not to Pray

Valuable insights, if accurate, which the book itself probably footnotes. Thanks for the link.
David Barton is a national treasure!
No Christ, no peace.
Know Christ, know peace.
You know what else I like about that SAT score chart? It illustrates the stark difference between the various generations of the 20th Century. High SAT scores during the Greatest Generation and Silent Generation’s school years, and then a grand canyon-like precipice during the Baby Boom generation, followed by a significant spike/plateau during Generation X, followed by another drop-off for Gen Y/Millennials.
Gen Xer here, and we would have had an even higher plateau if we weren’t too busy raising ourselves in lieu of our absent parents, and often being too angsty/depressed to care about excelling to the levels we likely could have (often kinda hard to find motivation/justification) in such a listless, directionless mindset, but I digress...
I would like to see a graph when they took punishment out of schools.

I’ve always believed America’s deterioration began when prayer was removed from public schools.
In my area, it was Late Seventies, so pre-1975 Gen Xers (like myself), still had the threat of the strap in the early, formative grades, whereas the late (post 1975) Gen Xers only got the stories from older brother/sister.
Since 1962, assassinations, race riots, un won wars, corruption, skyrocketing out of wedlock births, broken families, drugs, pornography, the rise of Islam and other false gods. Turn your back on God and all hell breaks loose. Return to God and the demons return to hell where they belong.
