Columbine High School in Jefferson County Colorado on April 20, 1999, Virginia Tech Massacre, in Virginia on April 16, 2007, and now Success Tech Academy in Cleveland Ohio on Oct 10, 2007. These are just a couple of the most recent massacres that have taken place in our public schools. We are all too familiar with the scenes on television, but what can be done to stop these horrifying events from taking place?
A New School Poem Ginna Nolan
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
If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please pass this on. Jesus said, ” If you are ashamed of me,” I will be ashamed of you before my Father.” Not ashamed. Passing this on
