When I was a child, I was reminded every day that there is a divine will and a divine understanding superior to my own. I was reminded that I had faults that required forgiveness and that I had an obligation to forgive others. Somewhere between that time and today, an angry lady, a compliant Supreme Court and a generalized willingness to employ the morality of personal convenience have brought us to a decade when children murder children and adults ask why it happens. Guns always have been in a substantial number of American households.
Antagonisms always arise among children in the schoolhouse.
Nazism, fascism and racism have been with us a long time. The difference is, we used to reinforce the belief in the primacy of a divine will. Children had a clear moral compass to help them develop a personal conscience. The answer is, precious little. I am prepared to suggest and to support a constitutional amendment to allow local school districts to adopt non-denominational prayer to be recited daily.
