Unfortunately, alternatives to public education aren’t easy, cheap, or available to most parents. Most children now spend their childhood with a single woman (neither widow nor wife) and economically dependent on government welfare payments of some sort or another.
Without the guidance of a mother and a father in the sacramental union of holy matrimony, these children fall into the engrossing culture of death. Outside the “Bible Belt” heartland, most Americans don’t bother to attend church on most Sundays and never develop in the Faith. The government indoctrination imposed through a decade of diurnal incarceration at penal institutions called public schools therefore permeates the minds of the schoolchildren, who later pass this dysfunction and decadence to whatever members of the succeeding generation they choose not to annihilate.
Sorry duf..., you're going to have to produce some reference for this claim. While I agree with the spirit of your post, on this forum, you can't state stuff like this as fact without backup.
