Wow. This is crap, crap, and more crap. Let's see now. . .

No it's not. School-enforced praying is against the rule. The kids can pray all they want. The teachers aren't allowed to TELL the kids to pray.

This great nation finds forcing people to worship god very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
That's right. Because teachers aren't supposed to require kids to recite religious texts.


Quote:
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Total bullshit. People pray all the time in schools. In fact, it's just as illegal for a teacher to STOP you from praying as it is for a teacher to MAKE you pray.



Quote:
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.
I'm confused as to why the writer thinks "spoken aloud" and "forced on the students by teachers" mean the same thing.


Quote:
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.
It is? Gee, then why the hell is his name on our money?


Quote:
They've outlawed guns
They have? Gee I didn't know that. Someone should tell all those hunters that wander around the woods every fall.

Or does the writer mean they've outlawed guns in school. If so, why is this a problem? Lemme get this straight. He wants people to go to school, armed to the teeth, and then start praying. Sounds a little odd to me.

but FIRST the Bible.
Show me ONE LAW that outlaws the bible.


Quote:
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
For what? Nice rhyme, but it doesn't say anything.

Quote:
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
Who said?
Quote:
Please discuss...

Why? It's just another attempt from the religious right to distort facts in the interest of forcing religion down everyone's throats. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
