This article presents information on the school-prayer amendment as endorsed by politician Newt Gingrich which has called for swift passage of a school-prayer amendment, just about every liberal columnist in America has pointed out that the separation of church and state is a great boon for religion and has helped make ours easily the most observant country in the West. In the U.S. the constitutional separation of church and state has obscured the nonetheless real connection between the two as fellow enforcers of conformity, mystification and hierarchy. Prayer in the schools will make it plain to see. It is never too early for the young to take the measure of the forces arrayed against those who would think for themselves.
