WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :



New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !


Since the Pledge of Allegiance
and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

NEW School prayer :
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

They dont get the fact that we have thr right to freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM it!

Pretty sad that it has come to that

It makes sense logically, I always sat through the pledge for two reasons: 1. I don't put faith in a religion; and 2: I don't have that much faith in my country. As amazing as it may be you get a lot of flak for sitting through a pledge, from both teachers and other students...so I dropped out.

bleh...

I PLEDGE TO THE FALCON PUNCH

Nothing wrong with religion as long as it is among the religious. As for all the other stuff listed on the poem, those are not religious in nature anyway so irrelavant to the subject matter. People are moral and just without having to be religious to be so. People are patriotic without being religious to be so also.

yeah, that's right on...too bad tho'

The only people who fight to keep God in schools are the ones who didn't get persecuted for THEIR religion.
