Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

Page 42

With prayer eliminated from schools and God taken out of our public education, society began to become increasingly debased. No doubt the

sexual freedom offered by the “pill” aided and abetted a moral decline. For almost two centuries we enjoyed a common moral understanding among our people. Yet, in only a mere 10 years after prayer was taken out of schools, we find evidence of a disturbing moral decline. In September 1972, the saga

of the Watergate break-ins begins to unfold. In October, sex therapy clinics are noted to have spread nationwide. In November, we learn of 500 secret sex change operations in the prior six years. Did the excise of God from our schools have any determinant effect on our moral decline? The answer is

yes, whether you believe it or not. Without an awareness of God throughout society, cultures trend naturally towards debasement. The Court accelerated this debasement trend by legalizing the killing of babies in January 1973.
