I want a record of the state of things in our schools in America in 2010 and so I am putting this in my blog. When I was a student we pledged allegiance to the American Flag every morning. Prayers were allowed. We had many races, many religions and we all got along just fine. Outrageous students were sent to the principal for discipline. There was decorum in our dress. Teachers were respected and expected to be obeyed. Values and morals were taught from the lips of teachers. Religious songs were sung on appropriate holidays such as Christmas or Hanukkah.
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A 15 YEAR OLD STUDENT IN ARIZONA
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
