Secular humanism is the religion taught in today’s public schools, where the only mention of God is likely to be during the flag salute. Not Homeschooling?
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the Schempp case combined with the Murray v. Curlett case together as a once and for all means of settling the issue of Bible reading and prayer in public schools.
