I
FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY
CANNOT.
Tennessee
Football
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..
B
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.."
If you are not ashamed,
pass this on
.
I'm not one bit ashamed
to pass this on, are
you?
