New Pledge of Allegiance

[urbanminer]

My mother sent me this email and I thought I'd share it with you. It was written by a 15 yr old Arizona student. He got an A+ for the paper.

> "New Pledge of Allegiance"
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> 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

The world has turned into one hell of a chit hole. Gettin' worse every day! Guns, ammo, and survival skills are all that's gonna matter! Big dogs will rule!!

AMEN is right RW--the end Kalif schools all start teaching kids next year that queers,transgenders and homosexuality are perfectly normal and acceptable. NOT my america as what a abomination and no more God??? sic sic sic---John

[russau]

and out taxs pay these teachers salarys! it all starts and ends with education and forming these children and young adults minds. we need to speakup about this or shut up and get what is comeing!to many people complain and dont bother to comeup with a resolution to fix that problem and this only leads to more disconsent!

Russ, you ought to be heartened by the thought that there is at least one teacher (me) that that teaches about mining, farming,, & forestry. Smelting and wet recovery of metals from solution (chemistry). Dissection of deer and wild pigs in season (biology). And welding dredge parts after school in the shop. No environmental garbage here!

[russau]

A SALUTE to you!! my wife has a teachers degree also. i sat in on some of her class's only tobe very disappointed in its context. she tought science.

[micropedes1]

You ought to watch 'em fight over specks of gold while I teach 'em to pan some of my Alaska cons. Ever kid went home with some gold in a vial to show Momma!

[russau]

What language are they going to use to teach this Isn't English a 2nd language in California, or is it a language not used there at all, other than by miners

Pat

I can just hear Russ, cussing up a storm as he reads this

[micropedes1]

Not much to worry about from queers & fags in my small-town middle-America. Now alcoholism and teenage pregnancy are a different matter. Just adding to the welfare rolls, I guess.

It all makes me and mine just that much more determined to rebel against this welfare economy. Assets converted to lead, powder, & gold! Russ ain't the only one fuming.
