Dear Concerned Student:
Im not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God.
How did this get started?.....Lets see.
I think it started when Madeline murray O'Hare complained she did not want prayer in our schools.
And we said,OK.
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school,the Bible that says,thou shall not kill,thou shall not steal and love your neighbours as yourself.
And we said,OK.
Dr Benjamin Spock said we shouldnt spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self esteem.
And we said, an expert should know what he is talking about so we wont 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 do not want bad publicity ,and we surely do not want to be sued.
And we accepted their reasoning.
Then someone said, lets have our daughters have abortions if they want ,and they wont even have to tell their parents.
And we said, thats a grand idea.
Then some wise board member said,since boys will be boys and they are going to do it anyway,lets give our sons all the condoms they want ,so they can have all the fun they desire and we wont have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said,thats another great idea.
Then some of our top officials said it does not matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said,it does not 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 is entitled to free speech...
And the entertainment industry said,lets make Tv shows and movies that promote profanity,violence and illicit sex .....and lets record music that encourages rape,drugs,suicide,murder and satanic themes
And we said,Its just entertainment and its no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway.,so go right ahead.
Now we are asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,why they dont know right from wrong and why it does not bother them to kill strangers,classmates or even themselves.
Undoubtedly,if we thought about it long and hard enough,we could figure it out.Im sure it has a great deal to do with
WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
