This is forbidden by the Constitution, you know. The last clause of Article 6 of the Constituion clearly states that no religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Birth rates for unwed girls from 15-19; sexually transmitted diseases among 10-14 year olds; pre-marital sex increased; violent crime; adolescent homicide have all gone up considerably from 1961 to the 1990's -- even after taking into account population growth. The Bible, before 1961, was used extensively in curriculum. After the Bible was removed, scholastic aptitude test scores dropped considerably.
These are post hoc arguments -- just because one event occured after another, that does not necessarily mean that the second was caused by the first. You can theorize, but you have not proven that the removal of Bible studies in classrooms has caused those societal maladies. For all you know, these could have been caused by, say, violent video games and parents who never spend time with their children.
Personally, I don't have a problem with prayer in the schools -- like say, for a Bible study class as an elective. But trying to argue that prayer in the classroom will solve society's ills is a little over the top.
