Mary’s Little Lamb
Mary had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each day,
When it wasn’t against the rules.
He made the the children laugh and play
To have the Lamb at school
Then the rules changed one day,
Against the law it became.
To bring the Lamb of God to school
Or even speak His name.
Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh and play,
You heard them crying tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That’s in our schools today?
Let the Lamb come back to school
And teach our kids to pray.

Add commentPrayer in schools?
Please tell us all Bernie, To which god will the prayers be spoken? Will the children be taught to pray to the Christian God? Will they be taught to pray to the Jewish god? Will they be taught to pray to the Mormon gods? Possibly some other god? The children should not be taught to pray in school. They should be taught to pray at home or in the place that their family worships! They should not be taught of religion in a syncretistic fashion!
God,dads and moms
Bernie, Let's let God back into the family and with His help let mothers and fathers assume and fulfill their rightful roles.
OAR, your so right. We should never teach children to pray
in school to whatever diety they prefer, especially when they are taught to pray to their sexual orientation first! Praying is not necessarily religion. How many students, before receiving their grades, pray that they passed? Should we start to punish them for having the gall to not pray only at home?
