Fixing the Public School System

America's school system is in a crisis. More children are illiterate, more children are dropping out, and more children are acting out. Oprah has talked about it, as well as John Stossel. Each person has a solution to this complex problem, but none have been tested in the real world. I think it's time that the government takes a step back and start running schools like they did 50 years ago.

If you go back to the 50's and 60's schools were a much different place. America was considered the best place in the world to attend school. There were no school shootings. Children graduated and could read perfectly fine. Our school system was so great, that college educations were not needed to get a good job. Something drastic has changed since then. Both politicians and the media seem to be oblivious to it.

The Bible & God

As movements in America become more progressive, the American public school system was shaped from a Christian institution, into an Atheist institution. Children used to start the day with the Lord's Prayer and the National Anthem. Today they're lucky to even get our anthem played. Children were taught ideals of creationism and God, without interference from the science community.

As the American people, we need to demand more from our public school system. We need to stop this movement to remove the Christian values from our government. Our founding fathers fought hard to create this country and we are abandoning their ideals when we stop a child from praying in school. We need the Bible and God back in our public school system.
