When will spineless Christians take their children out of these godless schools? It is unconscionable for children to have their faith outlawed by government.

Attacking the faith of children is a terrible sin. Jesus said, “If anyone offends one of these little ones who believes in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hanged around his neck and that he be thrown into the sea.” Matthew 9:32, Mark 18:6.

>> When the word “God” becomes inappropriate in public schools, America really has ceased to exist.

Tired of this overused, turgid statement on the fate of our Country.

Not just North Carolina - McDowell County! Western NC (with the exception of looney Asheville) is conservative and has a church on every corner. I would like to personally punch the superintendent in the face. Honestly, twenty years ago if someone would have told me a public school would refuse to allow a child to read her poem because it mentioned God, I would like said they were crazy.

Surely these are the last days and God’s judgment will soon reign down on this country like we have never seen. As my daughter says, “God just needs to smite us”!

America as we knew it growing up has indeed ceased to exist. Time to divide the nation. Heathens and democrats on one side and the rest of us on the other.

I think that the warning shot of God's judgment was fired on November 4, 2008. He fired for effect on November 6,2012.

His Judgment? Allowing us to do as we please.

On November 6, 2012, a gang of reprobates returned one of theirs to continue his occupancy of the White House. The people had a choic between decency and indecency. The majority indicated they preferred indency. From this point on, the best day will be yesterday.

Wow! Well, I wouldn’t punch him out but I’d sure work to get him replaced.

Oh the irony! I went to the McDowell County Public Schools website to see about writing them a note. Found a link to board meetings and they have pod-casts posted so I decided to listen to the meeting before the assembly, thinking they might be discussing the issue. They didn't, but they did open with prayer and the pledge!

Do you have kids or grandkids or great-grandkids? I have all. And NO, she is a 6 year old child, she has not yet been trained to stand up against communists/atheists/whatevers; she doesn’t have that kind of adult reasoning yet.. It is up to her PARENTS to stand up for her rights - in 10 years she can hopefully stand up for her own, if any of us have any left. My oldest great-grand is 8. He is a child, he is not Patrick Henry.
