I agree with Gracie.

That article sounds like a publicity stunt to me. (My words here, not Gracie's.)

What's the old expression, "as long as there are math tests, there will be prayer in public schools." :-)

I was an elementary school principal for many years, and the good old days (and by that I mean the days when I was a student in school) were only "good" if you were a white, Christian, born in America, capitalist, heterosexual with no physical, mental, intellectual, or emotional handicaps, with a mom (female) and a dad (male) at home, and dad and maybe mom had a job, and you had a home of some sort to go to. The reality is that a lot of kids in the good old days and today do not fall neatly into those categories, and the public schools are created to accommodate them all, and make them all feel comfortable while they learn.

School is for educational and intellectual growth. Values are for the home. Let's not mix the two.
