“[T]he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be aid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.”
Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence
“And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children” Isaiah 54:13
