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 that 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 misbehaved 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...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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! But if you discard this thought process, then don't sit back and complain about what bad shape this country is in!

Bill, this is a excellant post. We need to pray for them all. I hope we are all forgiven for what we have allowed this Country to become.

Bingo! I saw this earlier today and it really makes you think.. You could see this stuff starting to happen but darn if I knew what to do about it.
