Right-Wing Group Claims God Is Punishing America By Lowering SAT Scores
There’s good news where the Lord is concerned and bad news these days. According to the American Family Foundation of Kentucky, a right-wing Christian group, the United States has been going to hell since prayer was removed from the schools. Now, as part of a petition drive to put religious observation back in the classrooms where they believe it belongs, the Foundation has warned:
“Prayer was in our schools for over 200 years before the anti-God forces took it out in 1962. After prayer was removed from our schools, teen pregnancy went up 500%, STD’s went up 226%, violent crime went up 500% and SAT scores went down for 18 years in a row, opening the door for the AIDS epidemic and the drug culture.”
The good news—especially for America’s teachers? Since problems in education are apparently related to removal of prayer from our schools the states can stop wasting $1.7 billion per year ($65 per pupil annually), giving standardized tests. More
the education system in this country is broken because overpaid idiots who run the system are sucking up all the money for the dumbass phd s at the top..re education camps thats what they have created.!!kids .to busy learning how to put on condoms...the government has also overloaded the system by fostering illigitmate children illegal imagration and liberal education policies..
Almost all of the education money is spent on kids who won't learn or behave. No one is getting a good education. Strongest students sit and wait to be taught while teachers spend all their time with others. Scores still awful for those who get all the attention.
Some hits and some misses in this article,but removing god from anything is a huge mistake.

ReplyDeletein 1962, most high school students didn't take the SAT - only the top 20% or so. Now the vast majority of kids take them.
ReplyDeleteThe SAT and ACT scoring system is already easier on blacks and Hispanics now
