Agreed, it took off with the scopes trial. However, it has taken generations to strip it down. Like I said, I think it escalated starting in 1992.
I heard someone say on talk radio last week. If you put a frog in boiling water, it will immediately jump back out.
But, put a frog in cold water, and turn up the heat. He doesn't realize it until he is cooked.

It has to do with the fact that peoples with agendas go into education because they have learned the lesson that the Jesuits learn long ago, that if one has control of the youth, especially the best and brightest among the youth, then one can control public opinion. Even people who hated the public schools somehow accept the agenda of the educational establishment.
