But it's the worship of mankind as the highest being, as opposed to God as the highest being.

So they're all, that's the train of people pushing this educational philosophy.

And when you, I used to think it started in the 60s.

It actually goes back to the progressive era and even before that.

But they very intentionally...

the one thing they knew they had to remove from the beginning was God.

God had to come out of the schools because God was the immovable object that prevented their utopian schemes.

They wanted, you know, if you want to manipulate children, if you want to change the way they think, rewire the relationship of families, you have to get at the God thing because the garden and the sin in the garden is all...

disrupts those utopian schemes.

And so the early progressives, communists, Marxists, very intentionally worked hard in creating systems that slowly but surely removed God.

Because if you went into a public school, government school in America in the 1850s or 1870s and 1830s, the Bible's in there, prayer's in there, scripture reading's in there, it's all in there.

So it's a modern court that made all those things unconstitutional based on a misreading of the First Amendment and freedom of religion versus freedom from religion.

And the progressives have exploited that.

And then the process from there to they used patriotism falsely to sort of get rid of God.

And then once they built an allegiance to state, and what that was is they replaced basically the cross in the Bible with the flag and a pledge.

The original Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist minister, and it did not include under God.

The Pledge of Allegiance originally didn't include under God.

Eisenhower added under God in the 50s when we were fighting the godless communists.

So you have a flag and you have a pledge, a Pledge of Allegiance to the Republic.

By the way, we're a republic, not a democracy, and our education system pumps democracy down people's throats and our founders...
