Very good article. Thanks.

I still am screaming and complaining over the Pledge decision, but it is good to be reminded of the BIG picture and one of the problems that caused it in the first place. Thanks for the article.

I think I said it elsewhere that there is an extremely odd trust placed in our public schools. Parents cannot trust the schools to deliver an educated youth. So why trust them with moral teaching of any kind?

Public schools need to be abolished and all funds which are directed to them need to be returned to the people post haste. Now's the time to do it.

An excellent read on the history of the publik skools. They stink. (Please, I live in the LAUSD. I know stink.)

 

However, the greater danger I see arises from the mandatory detachment/obsolescence of a Higher Being at all levels of public life, in other words a State Religion of Secular Humanism, which will lead to, ultimately, the loss of the Predicate Author/Authority of Liberty.

Outstanding ... can't wait to pass this around.

Just coming back as I link it elsewhere .... particularly like the inclusion of that "near-famous" cat Gramsci.

Funny story ... my poor cousin who got brainwashed by the liberation theology set at Boston College once cited a guy named "Anthony Gramsci" she'd learned about in her class on Capitalism to buttress her argument on economics during after-supper discussion one night.

"But what’s missing from the pontificating on both sides is the most obvious concern - not the separation or unification of church and state, but the total monopoly on education at the hands of a central government."

You nailed it brother, from another direction of course. Most of the "right" are busy obsessing over the removal of the words "under God" from the pledge, which is (of course) the main issue here. However, in this piece you have attacked this whole subject from a different angle. What has been missing in previous opinion columns is this extensive background. The "how" of how we got to where we are today, with a court that would dare eject the name of our Creator. Each day I wake up surprised that we, as a nation, have fallen so far since our break from king George a mere two hundred and twenty six years ago.

Great research man. I was totally unaware of the origin of the public school system.

Sheesh. You belong in syndication.
