The increasing occurences of this kind of terrible tragedy began when we kicked God out of classrooms across this nation. Our students have been taught to devalue life as we have murdered 40 million babies since 1973 with the passing of Roe v. Wade, and have taught our children that they came from monkeys and then we are amazed when they act like animals. Because some of our students don't really see an purpose beyond this life, and find no joy in much of the life they are living without God, these things will continue no matter how many man-made programs we put into the schools. How sad that parents in this generation have to be fearful when they send their children off to school wondering if they will ever see them again.

I can hear the heathen screaming, "Oh no, another religious freak blaming everything on liberalism or athesim, or evolution or whatever other system pushed God out of our schools." Truth won't change because people don't want to hear it. Evolution and abortion have created a mindset that robs our young people of hope that there is something worth living for on this planet and beyond this life.

I attended school when we opened each school day with prayer and could sing Christian songs in the classrooms. The major problems in our schools then were talking in the halls and chewing gum in class. The students called the teachers maam and sir with respect, and there were no racial wars, rape, murder, drug traffic, alcohol consumption, and other such things happening in our schools as are happening now. The students that came from that environment were very productive in whatever field of work they entered, and families were intact because that was the way people believed they should be. The idea of same sex marriage was shocking to people because they believed that heterosexual marriage was the norm and homosexuality was a perversion of God's purpose for sex. People could leave their homes and go on vacation leaving their doors unlocked because nobody was breaking into homes. Children could go out and stay out after dark and their parents knew they were safe. Sexually transmitted diseases were rare among adults and never heard of in children. Stores were closed on Sunday because most people attended a church of one denomination or another. Children spent their time playing outside because we didn't have all the horrible time-wasting devices children sit and play for countless hours every week. It was a better world, and one we should return to, but it is far fetched to believe we will ever recover from the fall this nation has taken.

Thre is only one hope for this nation, and that is the return of God to the schools, homes and the public arena. The lack of respect for the Bible and God in this generation is appalling and easily verifies what is written here. The people of this country will never return to God until we are on the verge of national collapse, and sadly we will institute more and more programs that will solve nothing and just be stop gap measures while this nation goes down the path to self-destruction.
