When will we realize?
Mary had a little Lamb
His fleece was white as snow
And every where that Mary went
The Lamb was sure to go
He followed her to school each day,
Twasn't even in the rule.
He made the children laugh and play
to have a Lamb at school.
And then the rules changed one day,
Illegal it became,
To bring the Lamb of God to school
Or even speak His Name.
Everyday got worse and worse,
Days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gunshots and tears.
What must we do to stop the crime
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb of God come back to school
And teach our kids to pray.

But this is the truth and this is what needs to be said after this awful incident! thank you for that!!!
DEBBIE22: there are only two people who would give up there life for you. one being jesus christ of course. two being troops that are dieing for you and your two kids who disrespect this great country. Let your kids salute the flag, they are not worshiping it, or putting it higher than god! they are just honering this great and awesome country that people have sacraficed there life for. there is a fine line between worshiping the flag of the US, and respecting the flag and the great men who made this great country!!!!!!! there are great men dieing for you and your kids right now over seas, show a little respect!!!

What prayers will your children be taught?
If you are a Christian will they teach the Jewish prayers?
If you are a Muslim will they teach Christian prayers?
What will they force your child to do in the name of religion? The sign of the cross...bowing down on a prayer mat?
Teaching our own children how to worship God is our responsibility.
My children were raised Jehovah's Witnesses. I explained to the teacher that my children would not be saluting the flag and would not be participating in holidays.
My children stood respectfully for the other children to salute the flag. But when it came time for the holidays the teacher put them out of the room in the hall to stare at the wall as though they were punished. This brought them humiliation and ostracism.She could have given them a pass to the library or an assignment equally as stimulating as the other children. When there was a birthday cake...my children were made to watch and not be served any cake. Why not send them to the cafeteria to get a snack?
So in conclusion, we all do not believe the same way. I would not want my children to learn religion from a religious leader that is not qualified in my opinion.
After all we are in a fight for our lives. We are to serve God the way He wants to be served. God hates other gods before Him and says so in the 10 commandments.
The flag stands for a symbol of reverence. So saluting the flag is an act of worship. And since the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one the flag is his.
And the created should not be held higher and celebrated (birthdays) over the Creator.
Each parent wants the best for their children and Jehovah's Witnesses love their children and teach them to obey all of God's laws from infancy.

The responsibility to teach children about God is the parents.
It appears that they do not believe.
And their parent either.
So the degeneration started around 1940 or so and has been going on ever since.
Perhaps the appearence of TV in 1953.

WOW, dude, you're totally screwed up in the mind and confused about alot of things...
Do this to eliminate you being screwed up and confused:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
atheists = all the people in religion

Ok, you propose to want prayer back in school?
Ok, we'll let the muslims pray as they do, then you can pray as you do......don't like that? Tough. Its either every religion gets to have prayer or none.
And seeing how muslims are supposed to face mecca and pray 5 times a day......that's gonna get a little boring after awhile when they interrupt class.

Amen. I haven't heard the end before but Ann Graham Lutz (Billy Graham's daughter) made a comment about Colombine that people asked where God was and she said we had uninvited Him to our schools. Since He's a gentleman, He won't force His way in. (this is a paraphrase not her exact words.)
I agree we need to let Him back into the schools and teach the kids to pray.

They have some very nice school where they teach nothing but religion in Pakistan.
You should consider moving there.
Or you could go the Andrea Yates route. I hear her entire school curriculum was Bible based.

Which God would that be? Are only Christians allowed to pray in school? What happened to religious freedom?

i'm not sure we need to bring god into school. if parents taught their children how to behave, then they might turn out a little better. school is for learning your abc's and 123's not about religion
