A Little Comedy to Make A Point!

I know that Healthcare seems to be all the talk and to be honest my head hurts and my ears hurt even more from all the Healthcare discussions.
Therefore, I have chosen not to post about it at this time.

One thing I believe is comedy is a great way to make a point at times.

I use to be a teacher. I still currently teach religion once a week but no longer teach Social Studies. I thought this was appropriate with all the children heading back to school.

Below is an email that was sent to me from a teacher. Enjoy and think.
It is funny and yet it is sad.
When the majority of Americans believe in God and yet we allowed a minority to stomp out the Majorities wishes.
The Separation of Church and State has been taken too far and waaay out of context. Americans need to be careful how far they let minorities go with all of their demands. We must remember that minorities are to be treated fairly BUT not run the majority. A democracy or better yet, a Republic stands on the fact that the majority makes the decisions, that is the purpose of voting.

Now for the Joke!



THE TEACHER APPLICANT

After being interviewed by the school administration,
the teaching prospect said,
"Let me see if I've got this right:
You want me to... go into that room with all those kids,

1. correct their disruptive behavior,
2. observe them for signs of abuse,
3. monitor their dress habits,
4. censor their T-shirt messages,
5. and instill in them a love for learning.
You want me to..
6 - check their backpacks for weapons,
7 - wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and
8 - raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
You want me to....
9 - teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and
10 - how to register to vote,
11 - balance a checkbook, and
12 - apply for a job.

You want me to
13 - check their heads for lice,
14 - recognize signs of anti-social behavior, and
15 - make sure that they all pass the state exams.

You also want me to....
16 - provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and
17 - communicate regularly with their parents in English and Spanish by letter, telephone, conferences, email, homework hotline, webpage, midterm newsletters, and report card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.

You want me to do all this and then you tell me......


"I CAN'T PRAY?"

Are you nuts!
