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 lifestyle," 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. 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!
---------------------------------------
The information above was given to get to this point. Each day we are plagued with a host of disrespectful young people who say and do pretty much whatever feels good to them without regard of how if affects others. Their value of "right" is deminished and seem to have no meaning to some. The value of "life" is deminished to the point of no respect for anyones life. The days of "liviing to fight another day" is almost a dream as so many lives are taken over so simple things as a geographical location.
Our value system is almost a dream as we are plaued with school shootings, having metal detectors at the front doors to assure the safety of many of our youth in the school systems throughout the US.
When will the madness end?
It should never have started in the beginning. The value system that was in place many years ago that taught a value that was the foundation of our great nation. This same value system that was in our schools was the only exposure many of our youth got.
Our constitution was primarily written from the rules and values the bible is teaching us. Now we all face the removal of both God and Country from our school system.
When will the madness stop?
The days of "Big Momma" - the pillar and foundation of the family is almost a dream as well.
When will the madness stop?
There was a time when the most respected people in our communities were the Preacher and the Teacher. Now many of our disrespectful youth will cuss out a preacher as quick as they will cuss out a teacher and the most disturbing part is that some of the parents will give 100% suport to these disrespectful young people and would be ready to do the same cussing and fussing if anyone tells their kids anything - the right thing.
People, when will the madness stop???
There are still some extremely respectful young people out there. I am concerned about our and their future because that handful of youth have the future in their hands. Will there be enough to save these values that were so easily taken away from us by those in charge?
Will we ever get it back? The answer is "Yes We Can!!!! ...but this wave of value loss must be taken back UP the same road from whence it came... back up the chain back UP to the to the government offices that allowed this to happen.
Will We Ever Get It Back?? I say YES We Will.... Then and only then can we stop the Maddness........
Many Blessings to You and Yours......
