Not only is any invited, with no exclusion, no one is compelled to go. It has been a very low-key event that has grown in popularity. Mind you, this small community is in the heart of Madison, WI, the Berkley of the Midwest.
The point is, kids do seem hungry to hear a positive message. You would think the school would be thrilled and just let it go. Now they have raised the profile of this event sky high.
How about a ROP lunch? for dessert they cut your head off.
"Fellow-citizens, the ark of your covenant is the Declaration of independence. Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United States. In that scene of tremendous and awful solemnity, narrated in the Holy Scriptures, there is not a curse pronounced against the people, upon Mount Ebal, not a blessing promised them upon Mount Gerizim, which your posterity may not suffer or enjoy, from your and their adherence to, or departure from, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, practically interwoven in the Constitution of the United States. Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls – bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes – teach them to your children, speaking of them when sitting in your houses, when walking by the way, when lying down and when rising up – write them upon the doorplates of your houses, and upon your gates – cling to them as to the issues of life – adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation. So may your children’s children at the next return of this day of jubilee, after a full century of experience under your national Constitution, celebrate it again in the full enjoyment of all the blessings recognized by you in the commemoration of this day, and of all the blessings promised to the children of Israel upon Mount Gerizim, as the reward of obedience to the law of God." - John Quincy Adams (Final Paragraph - "The Jubilee of the Constitution" A DISCOURSE Delivered at the Request of The New York Historical Society In the City of New York, On Tuesday, the 30th of April, 1839, Being the Fiftieth Anniversary Of the INAUGURATION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON as President of the United States on Thursday, 30th of April, 1789, by John Quincy Adams (Eldest son of John Adams, born in 1767, served as Minister to the Netherlands under President Washington, as minister to Prussia and to Russia, as Secretary of State, and as U.S. Senator. He was the Sixth President of the United States and from 1830 until his death in 1848 served the nation as a United States Congressman)Do any now retired teachers remember when the National Education Association provided booklets and other materials based on Biblical teachings and America's founding documents in order to teach children their rights and responsibilities as good citizens?
Perhaps an examination of this web site may refresh the minds of such teachers. Or, perhaps a reading of this factual account of NEA publications may enlighten others who are younger to understand the degree to which the "progressive" control of education in America may have contributed to our current dilemma.
"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." - John Adams - 2nd President of the United States and advocate for the Declaration of Independence
"Ideas have consequences." - Weaver
Freedom of Assembly. Not.
Tell them God is everywhere and maybe they will go nuts.
No, they're evil. And given a chance, they'd order a camp guard to put a bullet in your head without a second thought.
the devil owns the world and he is a constant challenge
on the other hand, why did we ever think a christian flavored version of world would ever stop still being world?
but again, why did we ever count on it to teach our kids about Christ. why didn’t we teach them about Christ ourselves?
they’re easy push overs for evil.
Yes, haSatan owns this world.
Yet, believers just cannot to accept this.
yeah, they don’t believe politics has a place until their favorite rat comes trotting along...then its just “historical” or “educational”...

Christians can pluck members of the world out of the flames, not just see their own salvation too.
I don’t know about all this fanciful talk of haSatan; the bible (any reasonable version) is good enough for me. Peculiar terminology generally = cult.
“ha” in Hebrew means “the”.
So the devil you say, and why keep on insisting on using Hebrew when the devil is the devil in any language. That sounds cultish.
Humm.
I suppose I’m speaking at a different level using certain Jewish words. The LORD (upper case - that’s Hebrew for JHWH) never departed from his Jewish roots.
Have a good evening.
In heaven... greater than anything He created... and the most disobedient people on earth (per the bible) are crowing about where He deigned to stoop instead of marveling how He condescended?
Seems someone should learn some humility.
But a muslim wants a prayer room to throw his dirty towel down and a foot bath besides. And to deny it would be bigoted.
