How did this get started?...

-----------------

Let's see, I think it started when Madeline

Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any

prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK.

------------------

Then, someone said you better not read

the Bible in school, the Bible that says "thou shalt

not kill,thou shalt not steal, and

love your neighbors as yourself, "

And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank

our children when they misbehaved because

their little personalities would be warped and
we might damage their self-esteem.

And we said, an expert should know what he's

talking about so we won't spank them anymore..

------------------

Then someone said teachers and principals

better not discipline our children when they

misbehave. And the school administrators said
no faculty member in this school better touch a

student when they misbehave because we don't

want any bad publicity,and we surely don't want to

be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...

------------------

Then someone said, let's let our daughters have

abortions if they want, and they won't even have

to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea...

------------------

Then some wise school board member said,

since boys will be boys and they're going to do it

anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they

want, so they can have all the fun they desire,

and we won't have to tell their parents they

got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...

------------------

Then some of our top elected officials said it

doesn't matter what we do in private as long as

we do our jobs. And we said,it doesn't matter what

anybody, including the President, does in private

as long as we have jobs and the economy is good....

------------------

And someone else took that appreciation a

step further and published pictures of nude

children and then stepped further still by making

them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....

------------------

And the entertainment industry said, let's

make TV shows and movies that promote profanity,

violence and illicit sex...

And let's record music that encourages rape,

drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,it's just entertainment and it has no

adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously

anyway,

so go right ahead.

------------------

Now we're asking ourselves why our children

have no conscience, why they don't know right from

wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to

kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.

------------------

Undoubtedly,if we thought about it long and

hard enough,we could figure it out.

I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"
