EDITORIAL: An interesting take from a student in the USA

An American student wrote this.

This kid is a thinker. Imagine what he’ll be like as an adult. He definitely hits the nail on its head when it comes to sensitivity, empathy and thoughts about the USA. Not to be smug, Canadians have a lot to think about too. But read his prayer and consider the many aspects to which he draws attention. Quite the kid !


The Lord’s Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more. A kid in Minnesota wrote the following 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


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
