![[The right] may never bring prayer back to schools, but it has rescued all manner of rightwing economic nostrums from history's dustbins.

With a little more effort, the backlash may well repeal the entire twentieth century.](/assets/img/quote-photos/the-right-may-never-bring-prayer-back-to-schools-but-it-has-rescued-all-manner.jpg)
