Says alot for a society that has taken all prayers, faith, God and decency out of the code of school conduct.
I whole heartedly believe that to each his own, that not everyone celebrates or practices the same faith or any conventional faith as I do. But when did the exception become the rule?
Why cannot I not celebrate my faith because it may upset someone of another faith? What if they upset me, are they going to care? If I offend an agnostic, does it matter that they offend me? When did political correctness begin to outweigh common sense and decency?
But there was a time, not long ago, that the Pledge of Allegiance was allowed in a classroom and prayer was celebrated. I remember it, I was in elementary school. We said prayer before lunch and those that didn’t believe as I did or didn’t want to, they simply didn’t.
Why remove from the many for the few?
It’s kinda of like the radio. I cannot tolerate listening to Beyonce. I just don’t like her music. I am sure she is a nice person, I don’t know her…..but if her song comes on the radio, I change the station. It’s just that simple.
If someone is in the car and likes it, I can muster through for three minutes. Why can’t Joe Blow handle listening to the Pledge of Allegiance for 30 effin seconds??!!??
As a whole, our morality is in the shitter. And that is about the most decent way to put that. Sorry.
We have sexuality classes in elementary school, we have pregnant teenagers as a norm in high school. We are pierced, tattooed, shaved and who knows what else in the name of freedom of expression. We justify crime by saying it’s society’s fault. We sue McDonald’s because we got fat eating 3 Big Macs a day….but nothing is ever OUR fault.
And now, we take God, faith and prayer out of it….what are we teaching our kids?
Who does it hurt to have the word GOD spoken above a whisper anymore?
Anyway….here….because I am not ashamed.
WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :
Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord’s Prayer are not allowed in most
public schools anymore. Because the word “God” is mentioned….A kid in Arizona wrote the attached
NEW School prayer :
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That’s no offense; it’s a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God’s name is prohibited by the state.
We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the ‘unwed daddy,’ our Senior King.
It’s “inappropriate” to teach right from wrong,
We’re taught that such “judgments” do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It’s scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please pass this on.
Jesus said, “If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.”
Not ashamed. Pass this on.
