Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore, because the word "God" is mentioned... A kid in Arizona wrote:

NEW School prayer :
Now I sit me down in school,
Where praying is against the rule.
For this great nation under God,
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow,
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise,
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall,
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible,
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So Lord, this silent plea I make,
Should I be shot, My soul please take.
Amen

Did you write that? Thanks for sharing.
Oh, no I didnt. I wish I could write that well! It was a 15 year old kid, in an AZ school who wrote and used this as one of his essays. He apparently got real fed up, and must of had a strong Christian home life to be able to put that out there.

Praise God we have some young leaders on the rise who will stand up and speak out for God, and not afraid to do so. We need more parents raising up youngsters like this.

I'd like a sourced list of every school district in the country where the Pleage of Allieance isn't allowed.

After you've done that could you soruce me a list where a student isn't allowed to pray assuming

1) S/he isn't taking up or disuping class time to do it

and

2) The prayer isn't teacher led ?

Thank you
