The public school system in the United States is not about education. Reading and math scores are at an all time low. Teachers claim it's a lack of resources (money) that is the root problem. Public schools are funded on attendance, not test scores. That's why teachers call the roll every day.
The real problem is government sponsored woke ideology and poor parenting. To
quote Walter Williams, "For somebody to do well in school, 'somebody'
needs to make him or her go to bed on time and get 10 hours sleep.
'Somebody' must make him or her do their homework. 'Somebody' must feed
them breakfast in the morning and 'somebody' must make them mind the
teachers. If these things are not done, I don't care how much money you
put into the school system, education will not occur."
Most Christians believe that prayer in public schools will solve the problem. A 15-year-old SCHOOL KID
in Minnesota, wrote the following... this is when The Lord's Prayer was not allowed in most US Public schools.
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
From a Christian point of view, this prayer makes perfect sense. However, public schools are not the proper venue for religious indoctrination. No child should be threatened, coerced, or put under duress to participate in public prayer. If Christian prayers are allowed, then all other religions should be included.
Christianity itself is fragmented into thousands of denominations and cults. With all the conflicting religious doctrines and customs, public school prayer makes a child's life even worse. Religious beliefs are best left up to the parents. If Christians, and any other religious persuasions, want school prayer send their child to a religious school. Stop trying to impose one religion over another in the public school system. All it does is cause ill will and confuses children.
In case you haven't noticed, people are not all the same. The "melting pot" philosophy does not work in the real world. Birds of a feather flock together... and it will always be so. It does not mean one "flock" is superior to another. After school clubs are a better way to handle the various religious differences. Or join the Homeschool Assoication
In
the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy, God makes it very clear that He will
give us a choice of whether we want to receive His blessings or His
curses. Failure to obey God is at the root of all our problems - personally and nationally. For example: Jesus said. "I send you out as sheep among wolves..." So why in God's name do Christian parents keep sending their precious little lambs to a wolf school system?
Take Your Precious Children Out of Government Schools
Have
parents lost their minds? What will it take before they
get their kids out of the government hell-hole? How about
Christian parents for God’s sake!! How could a Christian
ever put his/her child in a secular-training center? The
media wants to blame guns, but no one wants to blame the
criminal. Let Coach Dave Daubenmire paint you a picture.
