New School Prayer


With the growing activism to keep all mention of God out of the schools, here's a "New School Prayer" that was e-mailed to us. It was allegedly written by a 15-year-old student in Arizona.

We checked with both Snopes and Urban Legends and could find no information about it or its authenticity, but we think it makes a good point, regardless of who wrote it. If you should happen to know its history, please let us know.

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' don't 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
