Yet, the problems of our families and the rising tide of violence and indifference for private property do indeed emanate from the 1962 and 1963 Supreme Court decisions on school prayer. Threatened with expensive lawsuits, most school boards conformed to the liberal agenda presented to them. Even those schools that have an anti-drug message teach what the drugs do to the body and warn of civil punishment but do not teach that the use of the drugs is morally wrong. Using the two Supreme Court prayer cases as rationale, the ACLU and other left wing groups have forced their will upon school boards to the point of the ludicrous. No such rule applies to children wearing satanic or gang color T-shirts.
Freedom of speech is an issue.
Students in many schools are prohibited from inviting friends at their schools to their church activities. Even an invitation to a church basketball game is considered an infraction. Freedom of press is an issue. Distribution of homosexual newspapers in public schools has been deemed a protected freedom of press by Federal courts. No, many were collectivists bent on the destruction of America.
