With the opening of the first modern compulsory, collectivist, government schools in the mid-1800s to early 1900s, children were offered up a lukewarm Protestantism. If children attend schools with lukewarm Christianity, then they will learn to be lukewarm about their faith. Is a “duh” needed here?
Well...We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth!
By my grandmother ( born 1894) and father's day ( born 1913) their collectivist government schools were utterly secular with a sprinkle of prayer in the morning. Collectivist government schools have been utterly GODLESS since the 60s.
Why are we surprised that so many of our nation's citizens are now pagan? THAT WAS THE PLAN!!! John Dewey must be laughing with pleasure in his grave.
You may be onto something here...
