I remember hearing Mr. Barton speak several years ago. He had said that the first Bible ever published in the United States, was published by Congress (1800's) with the statement on the inside cover "For the use of schools". Apparently he has one of the few Bibles still in existence.

It is because of the secularization of our schools that our children attend school at home... where they should be.

Someday, we would like to take that tour with him...

There were some Christian schools too. That is what Horace Mann was determined to do with public edumacation, take it out of the hands of Christians. John Dewey continued that work, and on it goes until we have the mess we have now.

But I'm preaching to the choir, huh. :-)
