Thats very pitifull but very true.this country doesn't have the right priorites anymore.i just finished going the rounds with my grandsons school because they say grace and thank the lord before they eat their lunch.needless to say my grandchildren now go to a private Christian school where there is some normal rules set in place.i really shudder to think what y'all will be facing when your my age if things are this bad now.but one thing i have learned is if you stand on your own 2 feet,speak loud and cause a ruckus while being polite it gets a lot of things done most of the time.but don't ever be afraid to speak your mind any time.

Yeah you have to speak up to get things done,other wise they just walk all over you.they don't like us because we are decent god fearing folks and we stand for everything they shrink away from.they can not follow the word of the lord and do the vile disgusting things that they do,so there for thats why they try every day in every way to cast him out and make anything the good lord and his followers do and say to be wrong and ignorant.
But it is easy for the weak minded to fall into the many many traps that satan lays out every day.and the majority of the country today has allready done so.some will change and see the eveil of their wrong doing ways but most just follow along and continue what they are doing.but one thing is for sure there is going to be a day of change the good lord will only allow so much before he says enough and does something about it,just like sodom and gomorra.and we can all learn from the mistake of the person who just had to look back and retire to a pillar of salt.
But it was one of the best choices my children made with my help putting their children in a decent school.no gangs or anything like that in them just decent children there to learn valuable things that will help them through life.long gone are the public schools like when i went or even when my children went.and i doubt they will ever return unless some major changes take place.

If it makes you feel better, it is not like that everywhere. In the public schools I worked in, it was manditory for every classroom to have a poster that said "In God We Trust." We said the Pledge every morning & afterward we had a "moment of silence" but every one knew that was for prayer. I could speak openly of God & even distributed prayer coins & copies of the Ten Commandment to the kids with full support from the teachers. So Satan has not dominated every school yet!

Yeah, when I told my husband how it was at the schools he was shocked they got away with it, what with this "separation of church & state" & all. I think the only reason it is still like that here is b/c we are in a rural area slap in the buckle of the Bible belt & if right now anyone tried to take God out of schools here the parents would have a fit.

seperation of church and state was never to protect the goverment from GOD it was to protect the church from the goverment in those days we just left a nation that was torn apart by a goverment wanting to controll the church ... our nation was set up so that no one religion could put there spin on the law and at the same time we made ot plain as day that the law was GODS law ( and stated in all kinds not just one goverment document ) that GODs law is the only law and all life and liberty is given by him and can not be taken by any man or goverment... ... i dont know if yall will understand this or not i caint spell or wright ,,, willypete
