"I wonder if anyone has the stats on how many school shootings there were before prayer was taken out of school and how many there have been since prayer was removed. I'd also like to have a practicing anti-Christian bigot explain to me why it's okay to pray in school AFTER a school shooting but not before."

I'd like someone to explain to me why Christians let the government raise their kids in the first place.

Thanks for the timely reply. I didn't notice any reference as to when God was kicked out of our public schools so I picked 1970 as my cut-off point. I counted 7 incidents of schoolground killings. Two of which were committed by adults. I couldn't count how many occurred after 1970 but it must be close to 50 (not including the killings in Luxembourg and Sweden). My conclusion: Schools were safer before we kicked God out

As far as Christians allowing the government to raise their kids... I don't know if sending kids to school amounts to having the government raise them, but the question does have some validity.

Obviously there is no quick-fix that will take us back to pre-1970 school safety levels, but let's at least acknowledge that schools were safer before we kicked God out.

Notice how after prayer was taken out, there is a shooting every year.
