"The future of this nation depends on Christian training of our youth. It is impossible to govern without the Bible." - George Washington

"By the middle of the 19th century, there were 246 universities in America of which seventeen were state institutions, with the remaining 229 rooted in the Christian church.  In 1782, Congress voted this resolution: 'The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.' It followed that every child in America up until 1963 received as their basic education biblical training, and yes, it was government sponsored. Central to all the early schools and colleges in America was Christian training first and foremost. For over a hundred years the New England Primer was the primary textbook for educators—second only to the Bible—with over five million copies in existence. It included the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Westminster Catechism, and more. True religion affords government its surest support."  - http://www.faithfromevidence.org/the-origins-of-public-education.html
