Re: Poll: About Prayer in Public Schools
Posted by Allyssa on 12/09/08
I am a 7th grader in Austin ISD, and I think it is really pathetic that
it's ok to wear skeletons shirts, and hear people say "Hail Satan". I hear
that on a regular basis (not just Halloween). But then I hear of a boy
being sent home on halloween because he was dressed like Jesus (that was in
another state). This is simply crazy! He wasn't hurting anyone. The
principal couldn't stand it because he "looked like Jesus". Duh, when you
dress up, you dress like the character... They wouldn't send the Devil
home! (maybe because they didn't want Jesus to whip him - ha ha!) The
world is getting darker, and the darkness can't stand the light! It will
continue to get darker, just as the bible says because we are truly in the
last days... They can do whatever they want, but they will never take Jesus
out of our hearts!
