Both cannot continue to exist.
1.It wasnāt always so. Before the Liberals/Leftists took control of schooling, American schools had a mission: actually impart knowledge, and this:
Earlier American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike, agreed on two basic goals: teach the newcomers English and make them Americans. The clear aim was to strengthen our national identity--to reinforce the unum in e pluribus unum--by assimilating the new arrivals into American civilization.

2. Then O'Sullivan's First Law (a.k.a. O'Sullivan's Law) went into effect:
O'Sullivan's First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over ā and the rest follows. http://old.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-jos062603.asp
And no where is this more true than the school system.
3. Imagine, a nation founded based on religion, the Bible, in the 18th century, emasculated in the 20th century to one in which religion is marginalized, ridiculed and attacked by the nationās own legal system. The victims of the school system leave same believing that our system mandates that religion be excluded from the civic arena.
Sadly, one need not āimagine.ā
4. Now, this long overdue reminder of the truth:
āā¦heard of the doctrine of the "separation of church and state." Most Americans believe that it's in the United States Constitution. But there is no such phrase in the Constitution. And there never wasāfor a simple reason: The Founding Fathers never intended for church and state to be completely separate. They saw religionāspecifically religions based on the Bibleāas indispensable to the moral foundation of the nation they were creating.ā
John Adams: āOur Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.ā Founders Online: From John Adams to Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798
