From my perspective, there’s not only been a demphasis in our public ‘ruined by liberals’ schools, but at the same time a pervasive politcally correct Godless liberal socialization of children.
Christmas was removed from the school calendar on Dec. 25th here in our county, secretively (as that’s the ONLY way it could have been removed) because the Georgia ACLU threatend to sue., because it’s OFFENSIVE or due to some psychotic myth of separation of church and state.
BTW, when God WAS allowed in schools back in the 50’s, U.S. children were being properly educated, on our history for instance.
Now days it’s shameful what kids are taught about WW2 for instance!
This incessant worry about this becoming some sort of Bible-thumping proselytizing theocracy if children dare pray let alone recognize God in public schools is nutty and unfounded!
I wouldn't suggest causality on that one, as you can look at it in different ways. When God was in school in the 50s (as in kids being indoctrinated in religion), racism was rampant, blacks were being killed for wanting rights or just for being uppity, and we were in the middle of the Cold War. Since God was kicked out of school (again, just the indoctrination), we've gone to the Moon and Mars and we won the Cold War.

It is nutty and unfounded. The ACLU has actually defended an individual student's right to express religion in school, and won.
