This idiocy is CAUSED by the unconstitutional heresy of separation of church and state. At the end of the day, we're either a Christian nation (not established by the state, but through free exercise of religion like America was until the 20th century), or we’re duped by every snake-oil salesman, huckster, and jihadist to come down the pike.

Remove sound doctrine and you leave a vacuum for false doctrine to fill.

Every time.

The mistake was having government schools. Only in a **private** setting can children get a thoroughly religiously based education that is fully integrated into every minute of their day. Children need an education that teaches their family's **specific** religious traditions.

At their very best government schools in the mid-1800s, offered a watered down, and lukewarm Protestantism. ( Well...We know what Christ does with the lukewarm!)

Opening government schools ( and making them compulsory) destroyed the private market for the homeschooling, Sunday schooling, private church run schools, and home=based tutoring academies that had educated our young since its founding.

This idiocy is CAUSED by the unconstitutional heresy of separation of church and state.

Even if we as a society could go back to some magical era in government schooling, the anemic Christianity offered up in the very best of the government schools, was NOT NOT NOT enough to raise up citizens who could stare down atheistic Marxism and now fascist Islam.

We must close down the government schools. We must get our nation's children into conservative private schools that will integrate the child's specific Judeo Christian religious traditions into every minute of every school day.

All true. It's all happening right before our very eyes. What we really need now is a separation of school and state.
