Pledge of Allegiance in Schools Today

I had the manager of a local bank email me the following.
I thought it was worthy of repeating. It is oh so TRUE!

New Pledge of Allegiance!

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 the following 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

Jesus said, 
"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
