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.
