There will always be exceptions, but it still stands true that education majors as an aggregate bring up the rear in any ratings of academic majors. They are down there with homemade ____ (fill in the blank) Studies majors.

A - reference to ALPHA and Omega
B - Bethlehem, place of Jesus’ birth
C - CHRIST, CHRISTians, CHRISTmas
D - son of DAVID, King DAVID
E - EMMANUEL (Immanuel), God with Us
F - God the FATHER
G - GOD
H - HOUSE of God
I - Immanuel (Emmanuel), God with us
J - Jesus and Jehovah
K - KING of KINGS
L - LORD and Savior
M - MARY, mother of Jesus
N - Jesus of NAZARETH
O - OMEGA, of Alpha and Omega
P - Bood of PSALMS, PRINCE of PEACE, PROVERBS
Q - Jesus, QUICKENED from the dead
R - REDEMPTION, REDEEMER
S - SAVIOR of mankind
T - TABERNACLE, TEMPLE
U - UNGODLY
V - VIRGIN Mary
W - Living WATER
X - XMAS okay, if this offends then you can use the letter X
Y - Yeshua
Z - Tho there are numerous biblical names beginning with this letter, we’ll let you go ahead and use it in schools.

Ridiculous. The hook is on top. It is a shepherd’s crook. The Bible is full of references to Jesus being the Good Shepherd, and also to lambs and the herding of lambs to represent a leader caring for his flock.

If it is in the shape of a shepherd's staff, then maybe it is meant to honor David.

Or it could be a Pi, standing for Pentateuch (the five books of Moses, recognized as scripture by Jews, by Samaritans [all Samaritans, not just the good Samaritans] and by Christians).
