Does anyone see the need for God back in our schools?!?
This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee , by school Principal, Jody McLeod "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK.. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex.." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control.." If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.." I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.." However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical..... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time. "However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet." One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box! The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD." Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten.. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER

Yes I think God should be put back into schools. If the majority of Americans are Christians then I think the majority should speak on this. Think about its our tax dollars promoting the vices of Satan. Constitutionally if I want to pray to God in public I have the right to. Supreme Court Justices have simply twisted exactly what the Constitution says. State cannot be over religion. No government of this United States can impose laws against religion or religious acts. And your correct Mother Geai (hope I spelled that right) is earth day only dressed in different clothing. Peel the clothing off you have the same fundamental belief. At anyrate I think God should be allowed in schools if this other garbage is to. God above all.

Thank you Anna for your thoughful reply ...yes, 1963, we decided to take the Bible out of our schools, take down the Ten Commandments, and separate "religion" and education ....how could we do this ......and what have we seen? gradual erosion ....for the next 3 generations now we can already see the negative consequences in our society ...low morals, expectations for respect of self and others, (parents ....why would our kids respect God when they arent even able to respect you or the way you're living???)
Now, too, we can see what is being taught ....above God's principles .....evolution, tolerance, "safe"sex, and now homosexuality is ok because, hey they have their "rights" too right??? Wrong. This is all backwards! My friends, stand up with me and speak out. People may change their opinions about God's principles ...BUT GOD''s PRINCIPLES NEVER CHANGE!! Amen?? Who's with me?

YES, i've received this same e-mail myself, when we look back to the beginig of our nation it was never the intent of the congress or the supreme court to remove prayer and bible reading and study from the schools. in fact it(the bible) was to be used as part of the text for study in the schools.cause as we see in 2tim. 3:16-17: all scripture is given by inspiration of GOD,and (is) for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in rightiousness: that the man of GOD may be perfect,throughly furnished unto all good works.
So training in schools of biblical principles was in the early days of our history a prime target of our govt. leaders. now in 1963, the people ( who then where suppose to christians) stood back and watched as one women bent on distruction of GODs Word was never challanged to my knowledge over her case against biblr reading & prayer in schools, so when that was removed by the court, moral and social disease entered our land, and this evil is now completely out of control, and the more our govt. tries to regulate the worse it is.So our hope lies in our paryers to GOD for restoration of a GODLY govt. and school system, but will it happen (ask yourself that)

Thank you William for all your thoughtful comments, especialy ths scripture reference 2 Tim 3 ....I am going to look that up and mark it in my bible!! You're so right, it does seem like sooo many christian stand by and watch things happen instead of standing up? Amen? But, as you said, if we turn back to God, He will restore us ...I'm thinking of a quote I heard a pastor say once, "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for the good to do NOTHING." Do know the verse in the bible where it says if we come back to God, He will "restore" our nation? I'm familiar with Nehemiah's prayer which is similar Neh. 1:8-9, but I know there is another place where God specifically address a nation's repentence .. Do you know where to find that??? Thank you my friend for your insightful response! God Bless always, Lisa

I'll agree with both of you 100% and while we are putting God back into the schools I think we should put Obama out of office at the same time.

It's starts in the HOME............The goverment is of the devil So don't depend on the schools to teach our children about Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us,bring up your children in the way they should go. So it's up to the PARENTS to set VALUES,MORALS,RESPECT and so forth. Come on people read the book, and you'll see the weird things that are going,are to occur as we are in the last of days.Bless you all my friends.
