I FIND IT
INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT
OUR SOCIETY CANNOT.

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
B
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?
