Since prayer was eliminated from public schools, the quality of education has shown a steady statistical decline. Is there a link between the two?

Prayer Sets a Standard

Humanism assumes that the supernatural does not exist and that reality must be discovered purely from man’s reasoning. Our public school system has been operating on this foundation since prayer was removed in 1962. Returning prayer to school would be an affront to this philosophy because prayer acknowledges the existence of someone greater than man.
