Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God

How did this get started?...
-----------------
Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare
complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools.
And we said, OK...
------------------
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school, the
Bible that says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your
neighbors as yourself,"
And we said, OK...
-----------------
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when
they misbehave
because their little personalities would be warped and we might
damage their self-esteem.
And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we
won't spank them anymore..
------------------
Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline
our children
when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no
faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave
because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be
sued.
And we accepted their reasoning...
------------------
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if
they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents.
And we said, that's a grand idea...
------------------
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys
and they're
going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they
want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell
their parents they got them at school.
And we said, that's another great idea...
------------------
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter
what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said, it doesn't matter what anybody, including the
President, does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is
good...
------------------
And someone else took that appreciation a step further and
published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making
them available on the Internet.
And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....
------------------
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and
movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex... And let's record
music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...
And we said, it's just entertainment and it has no adverse
effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead...
------------------
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill
strangers, classmates or even themselves.
------------------
Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we
could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...
"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"
------------------
Pass it on if you think it has merit! If not then just discard
it...but if you discard this thought process, then don't you dare sit back
and complain about what bad shape this world is in
