 Dear Concerned Student:
 I am not allowed in schools.

   Sincerely, GOD
       
                             

 Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare  complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  And we said, OK...

 Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school, the
 Bible that says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love  your neighbors yourself,"........ And we said, OK...

 Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when  they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped  and we might damage their self-esteem. . . . .

 And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so  we won't spank them anymore. . . . .

Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators  said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when  they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we
 surely don't want to be sued.

 And we accepted their reasoning. . . . . .

 Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they  want, and they won't even have to tell their parents. . . . . . . . .

 And we said, that's a grand idea. . . . . . .

 Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be  boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the  condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and  we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school. . . . . . . .

 And we said, that's another great idea. . . . . . .


 Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what  we do in private as long as we do our jobs. . .

 And we said, it doesn't matter what anybody, including the  President, does in private as long as we have jobs and the  economy is good . . . . . . . .

 And someone else took that appreciation a step further and  published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still  by making them available on the Internet. . .

 And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech. . . . . . .

 And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and  movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex... And let's  record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and  satanic themes. . . . . . .

 And we said, it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead. . . . . . .

 Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,  why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother  them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves. . . . . . . .

 Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with. . . . . . . . .

 "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"
           

 Pass it on if you think it has merit! If not then just discard it. . . . . .
 BUT if you discard this thought process, then don't you dare sit back and complain about what bad shape this world is in. . . . . . . . . . . .
