Depending on the depth of evaluation, the fall of the American culture has occurred over the last five decades or so. The seeds of that fall were sown much farther back in time. However, America’s catastrophic collapse, which finally seems to be capturing the attention of many is actually quite recent.
Consider the July 12, 1995 remarks of sleaze ball and former President Bill Clinton to students at James Madison High School:
“The First Amendment does not require students to leave their religion at the schoolhouse door…It is especially important that parents feel confident that their children can practice religion…We need to make it easier and more acceptable for people to express and to celebrate their faith…If student can wear T-shirts advertising sports teams, rock groups or politicians, they can also wear T-shirts that promote religion…Religion is too important to our history and our heritage for us to keep it out of our schools…Nothing in the First Amendments converts our public schools into religion-free zones or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the schoolhouse door…Government’s schools also may not discriminate against private religious expression during the school day.”
Compare the remarks made by the President of the United States, barely 20 years ago, with the relentless attacks today on virtually any expression or symbol of religion in the public schools systems. The schools have effectively become religion-free zones. The results are tragic.
What does it take to wake up the body of believers?
What does it take to wake up the clergy?
Have every Christian (truly born again believers) throw out their televisions. And they also ALL must remove their children, no matter what age, from government schools. I’d say that’s a good start.

Good comments, Sage_Brush! Personally, I don’t watch TV. However, I do use the TV to watch carefully selected material on Netflix.
