As a child in public grade school, we opened our day with the pledge of allegiance to the flag and a prayer.

When we stopped for lunch, we prayed over our meal. My how things have changed. Let’s look at just how much things have changed since the Supreme Court banned prayer in school in 1962.

• By 2008, violent crime had risen nearly 350%

• Youth suicide increased by over 250%

• Traditional two parent families have declined significantly

• SAT scores in public schools has declined, while private Christian schools have shown higher scores.

• Sexual activity in unmarried teen-age girls has increased significantly

The incidents of school violence has certainly increased as well. Maybe there is not direct correlation to the moral and societal changes and prayer in school. Maybe there is no connection at all. Maybe this is all just coincidence.

Maybe not!!!

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see if inviting God back into the classroom would reverse the direction of America? What could it possibly hurt?
