I’ve always supported the public schools, in more ways than one. However, in seeing/reading about the recent products (graduates) of those schools (in Arkansas, my home state), it’s difficult to continue to do so. People can only go so far with taxation.
It is the malaise of a country that is privately estranged from Lord.
Not that people were no longer forced by law to make prayers in schools (such forced prayers would be vacuous at best) but that nobody wanted to make prayers everywhere they went.
God doesn’t have grandchildren. We point to schools and scream “ungodliness” but won’t bring our generation and family’s generations to look in a mirror.
