What Happens When You Take God Out Of Schools

It started when Madeline Murray O'Hare
complained she didn't want any prayer
in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said lets tell the kids they
are nothing more then animals...that "survial
of the fittest" will be our creed. 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 neighbor 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 said OK, 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. (There's a big
difference between disciplining and touching,
beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.)
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 agreeing with them, we said
it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the
President, does in private as long as I have a job
and the economy is good.

And then someone said let's print magazines with
pictures of nude women (and nude men) and call
it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the
beauty of the female and male body. And we said
we have no problem with that.

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 they're
entitled to their 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, 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, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard
enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a
great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

You're right on the mark, ready2go. We live in an increasingly unGodly society, and we are reaping the consequences. It's so terribly sad for all our children.

>>>"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."<<<

I believe that all the wisdom combined in the NEA decided that is an 'inappropriate' concept to teach. Biblical dontchaknow, which is strictly verboten.

Post # 83, deserves a thread of it's own.
