"My child may be in public school, but early dismissal tomorrow is for Christmas vacation and at the school board meeting I attended tonight. The Pledge was also said and then a prayer and an additional prayer and moment of silence for a 2nd grader who died of a heart attack in class last week. And everyone wished each other a Merry Christmas at the end."
This school is archaic. Where's Newdow? I'm sure some little atheist was offended by YOUR Pledge, YOUR Prayer, and YOUR tidings of Christmas joy. You must live in one of those Red(neck) States with your Gods, Guns, and Gays. :)
Yup - I sure do!!!!!!!
The prayer for the boy that passed away really got me. He was a classmate of the son of a friend of mine and prayers were offered up for him at the Moose Lodge while I was there Saturday.
Even though my friend's son was home sick that day, she still got a phone call from both the principal and teacher about what had happened.
Not all public school districts are evil incarnate.
And on that note, I bid you a fond goodnight. I have to be up in about 5 hours and aforementioned friend will be picking me up at 8:00 after al of our children are on their way to school so we can go shopping!!!!
