“our schools, all founded by godly ministers”

That might be true of a few colleges but the public school system was started by secular humanists like John Dewey.

As I understand it, John Dewey was only appointed to head up and change our puclic education, and he was responible for most of our problems today!
I know in most states the first schools were founded by ministers, as in Tennessee, it was founded by a Presbyterian Minister.
Most Universities and colleges are only copies and imitations on those originally founded.
The founders of Harvard believed that: “All knowledge without Christ was vain.”
The word Veritus, still on the college seal (of Harvard)
means divine truth. The motto of Harvard was offically: “For Christ and the Church.”
And, you should see Yale, and Princeton (the founders would be tarred and feathered if they were on campus today).

Totally false.

John Dewey is responsible for destroying our schools. They were doing ok until he and his minions got their fingers in the pie.
