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 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 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 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 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's 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,"
