“The first and basic premise of paganism, socialism, and Molech worship is its claim that the state owns the child. The basic premise of the public schools is this claim of ownership, a fact some parents are encountering in the courts. It is the essence of paganism to claim first the lives of the children, then the properties of the people.” (Excerpt from reprint from R. J. Rushdoony’s The Roots of Reconstruction, 9-10.)
