Gosh was it that long ago? That was the year I was born!
Commune with God Daily. It changes everything!
I have had so much success with prayer that I cannot even begin to document it!
Wasn’t it about that time when everything in gummint started going to shit?
Was that actual decision the tipping point, or was it earlier? Clearly, the Feds had no business getting involved in school prayer, so maybe things just started going downhill then.

Also The Battle of Little Big Horn.
“The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to Lakota as the Battle of the Greasy Grass,[1] and commonly referred to as Custer’s Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which occurred June 25–26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, was the most prominent action of the Great Sioux War of 1876.
The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull. The U.S. 7th Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, suffered a severe defeat. Five of the 7th Cavalry’s twelve companies were annihilated; Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. The total U.S. casualty count, including scouts, was 268 dead and 55 injured.
Public response to the Great Sioux War varied at the time. The battle, and Custer’s actions in particular, have been studied extensively by historians.[2]”

No, clearly we had no business letting the feds get involved in education. As a result, some kid who has gone through 16 years of education, has a Bachelor's degree, might not even be able to write a legible sentence.
Anytime the pigs in DC get involved with their handouts, etc, it always comes with strings attached. The strings to public education have mostly been to take "education" out.
But these brats can sure tell you about the difference between transvestite and transgender.
It is no longer the Supreme Court. It is the EXTREME Court!
