Interesting view...
« on: February 26, 2012, 01:56:32 PM »
Interesting view from a grade school kid;
 
     
[font=]A kid in Arizona[/font][font=]wrote the attached [/font]
[/size]NEW School prayer: [/b]
"New Pledge of Allegiance"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.[/size][/b]
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[/size]...[/b]
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,[/size][/b]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 don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

Does it say what grade the student was in?

I think the 'kid' had help writing it, prolly from an editor at WorldNutDaily...
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

   I doubt that..the poetry is definitely at about 7th grade level.  In any case, it's the message which is important, not the desire to find and "kill the messenger"..

It  is germany in that; if written by an elementary student, it is a fantastic piece of creative writing. If done by a middle school student, the writing is average. And if written by a high school student, the writing is below par. That's why I asked, and that's how it is germany.

we used to have a program here called "hear our voices".  kids can write some profound stuff.
my own daughter in 3rd grade was recognized for writing "out my window". a beautiful piece of poetry.
Give me liberty, or give me death

..........................................................................................
 
  The criteria you suggested as being the norm in Germany appears to be approximately on par with  our Christian schools and home schoolers.
    Is that reply more acceptable ?  I didn't actually expect to be dealing with the "erudition police" .  ;)   ;D   
 We generally are not so fastidious here on GBO, overlooking small typos etc.
 
  BTW:  Please notice how I capitalized the name of Germany.

BTW I do know the difference between Germaine and Germany

It's an easy mistake to make; Buford C. Justice didn't know the diff, and he was "a respectable law officer of over thirty years seniority!"






Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.
