    Dear Concerned Student:
    Sorry,
   
    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 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"
           
            ------------------
           
            Pass it on
            If you think it has merit!
            If not then just discard it...
            But if you discard this thought process,
            Then don't you dare sit back and complain about
            What bad shape this country is in!!
           
             
             Why is it our children cannot read a Bible in school, but    can in
Prison?
