Correlation is not necessarily causation.
Let's be honest about the so-called prayer of the 1960s. In reality it was a wink and nod to God and the rest of the day was non-stop godless secular humanism. Is it any wonder that the hippies of the late sixties were a morally muddled lot?
Who wouldn't be spiritually and mentally mind and soul scrambled after 12 to 13 years of **that** mixed message?
Fundamentally, government school was a progressive campaign of the mid-1800s. It was not fully established in the nation until the early 1900s.
Progressives have **always** pushed for greater and greater godless secular humanism.
Progressive have **always** controlled teacher training and curriculum development.
Progressives have **always**pushed at the borders of society's ethics and morals.
Want to fix this? Then ABOLISH government schooling! All of it. None of it is good.
Interesting perspective... Thanks!
