In the classroom where our children are today, do we really want them to learn about God versus monkeys? Are the teachers today so much more educated than before that they can teach this with 100% proof? Do you believe in creationism? Do you believe we evolved from monkey’s?

I can already feel the burning begin on this one. Those that know me, well, they know where this one is going. Those that are just beginning to know me, well, it is about to get ugly in here.

This topic is generated from the story on CNN.com about an Ohio Science teacher that burned a cross into his student’s arm to make a point.
[1] Teacher accused of burning cross on student’s arm

Some side notes from this story, he was not arrested, the school board has voted to begin the process to fire him and he was reprimanded numerous times for having a bible in his desk at school.

(Deep breath…exhale)

First of all, the school is not the place for any teacher to preach. You want to preach, then become a damn priest! You can keep the bible in your desk, that is your right in my eyes. But the second you pull it out and start preaching, you are no longer teaching children. You are trying to push your religious beliefs onto our children.

Second, the school board sucks. If you actually had to hold a vote to figure out that you needed to fire him, you are just as dumb as he is. I understand that maybe you have rules and policies in place to protect teachers from being out right fired, but this is crazy. If my step-father (in my eyes, he is my father as he raised me all my life. and for this story, he is my second step-father) ever did something of this nature, I would expect him to step up and walk away and know he did wrong. Because that is what he taught me. When you do wrong then admit your fault and take the punishment.

Third, you are lucky this is not my child you branded with a cross. If it was, there would have been an old school lynch mob on your ass that night and I would make sure to publish every thing straight to [2] youtube.com. I would make sure every teacher in the country would know, you better not mess with our children. If this was the child of one of my co-workers, associates, friends or family member, I would still hunt your ass down and brand you my own way. As parents, it is our job to teach our children that there is religion and they have a choice to believe it or not to believe it.

I cannot even begin to explain how upset I was when I read this story. There is no comment about being arrested and charged with assault/battery. This is clearly an attack on a child as it left a DAMN mark on this child. Where in the hell are the cops in this whole mess???

I will end this with my personal feeling about all of it. I am not religious in any way. I do not go to church or pray or ask for forgiveness. I have done so many wrong and bad things in my life that whoever is actually watching over us gave up on me a long time ago. I will personally be driving the short bus full of helmet people straight to hell. There will be no windows on this bus and no door. I know what I have done and what I deserve in return.

I feel that there is a holy spirit out there. But I do not look to him/her. Those that believe in god are not dumb. They actually see something and they believe in it and that is great. Those that believe in hell (me), that is great as well. It gives you something to work towards to not end up there. God is like Santa Claus. If you truly believe in him/her, then they are real and will have an impact on your life. I do not believe in gods, goddesses or ala donkey humpers because if they truly were there watching and making things happen, then why is the world so fucked up now.

There are wars, violence, murder, rape, child abuse and so on. If they existed, then why are they not putting a stop to this crap. I was abused both physically and mentally growing up by my sperm donor father and first step-father. Why did that happen if there is a god? Why was I subjected to so much alcohol and drug abuse growing up? Can you really explain this to me?

I was told by a guidance counselor in high school that with as much abuse that was given to me, how much alcohol and drug use was done in front of me that I would end up being a no good alcoholic, drug user and wife/child abuser. Guess what bitch, I have never done a drug in my life and I am not an alcoholic. Oh yeah, my children have never been beat and I have never lifted a finger to any woman in my life. I am guessing that your little counselor handbook failed you.

I teach my children what is right and wrong. I teach then responsibility with chores. I spoil my children as often as possible. My children are always first before me. I treat my wife as if she was my goddess. I love them all everyday no matter what. I teach them that religion is out there and they have a choice. I will not push it and neither will my wife. They can learn it on there own.

Schools cannot do the "Pledge of allegiance", but we can have a teacher preach about creationism and evolution and which one is right and which one is wrong.

That in my eyes, is wrong.

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, under God indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
