Is Julius Wellhausen in Government Schools?

Julius Wellhausen lived from 1844 until 1918. He was a German Old Testament scholar who was an evolutionist that applied that theory to everything, even the Bible. He said the Bible must not be thought of as the Word of God, but as the best of human books. He led a movement which we have come to know as "religious liberalism".
Secular Humanists (Foundational Presupposition Chart) say they are the judge of the Bible. Christians say that the Bible comes from God and it judges us. Which religious worldview is found in public government schools today?
It must be noted that schools in America started out with the Biblical Christian worldview. Our history, from a faith perspective, is described by David Barton in a little book: Education and the Founding Fathers. It is published by Wallbuilders, Inc.
Abraham Lincoln observed: "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." Do you think he was right?
