God in the schools used to work extremely well, removing God helped destroy our culture and successful society.

I don't know if closing the schools is a good idea, but severely curtailing their mission is in order. Public schools should be run like any other state organization, i.e. provide a public service that can't be provided privately or would be prohibitively expensive to do so, like road building. For instance, there's no need for schools to provide entertainment services like dances or sports for the kids. There are plenty of private organizations that can (and do) provide that.

I'm not all that hip on forcing God on kids in public schools, either. Who's God/god/idol/whatever? Again, there are plenty of churches/mosques/synagogues/worship centers in the private sector that can take care of this much better. If the public schools want to teach morality then they can stick to teaching the law of their city/county/state/nation.
