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
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...

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

Then someone said,
let's allow our daughters to 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 we said,
it doesn't 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,
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,"

Answer: Because the parents aren't doing their jobs. It's not the public school's job to teach the children which god to believe in and prey to. Ys, school should teach children how to behave, but I think it's the parent's responsibility.
