We Need God Back in the Classroom in our nation--God have mercy on us, Help us to repent and turn to You

From the beginning of schools in America, students prayed.    

A prayer prayed in the public schools in New Hyde Park, New York, was:  "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen."  

Five individuals intolerant of prayer brought a lawsuit, and Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black issued his opinion in Engle v. Vitale, 1962, prohibiting prayer in public schools.   

Hugo Black was a Democrat Senator from Alabama who had never been a judge until Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him to the Supreme Court.   

President Ronald Reagan commented on March 6, 1984, regarding Justice Hugo Black's opinion:  "From the early days of the American colonies, prayer in schools was practiced and revered as an important tradition. Indeed, for nearly 2 centuries of our history it was considered a natural expression of our religious freedom.   Then in 1962, the Supreme Court declared school prayer illegal. Well, I firmly believe the loving God who has blessed our land and made us a good caring people should never have been expelled from America's classrooms."
