Subject : thanks for your site

Hi,

Thank you for the information on your site... until
now I have not had the opportunity or reason to seek
information on the seperation of church and state.
Yesterday the principal of my daughter's high school
read a hateful poem/prayer over the intercom that's a
mean-spirited rant (see below) that protests the
prohibition against prayer in schools.

I have talked to the principal and superintendent, but
am not satisfied that anything will be done about this
man's irresponsible behavior.

We are continuing to fight this and information from
your site will at least arm me with some info to fight
with. Thank you!

THE 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
