Default Re: Darrell Scott Testimony Columbine Victim's Dad

The guy was just talking threw his pain he doesnt know all that he thinks. It is illegal to make an assymbely to pray or make a class prayer so if the prayer is done by the school then yeah its illegal but not if done by the students. Prayer in school is a bad idea and will always be one. People like me who do not know what they beleave in should not be forced to pray. You can tell me all you want that you dont have to pray but if everyone around you is doing so and you do not then you are the odd man out. If you say prayer is ok in school then you will have to pray more then just to god, what about islamic people or jewish people and soo on. IF we pray all those ways there will be no time in school to learn. Why should we pray and shorten the school day when I want to learn and not to talk to a god that has no proff of being? You all complain about the quality of the schools now think about how much praying will cut into our learning. There are groups like Friday night live and so on that continue to pray in school the legal way. Also he knows how it feels to be a parent not a student. He is right the nra is not to blame nore is the goverment or god. Im tired of everyone blaming everyone but who is to blame. The only ones to blame in this act were the shooters, the studenst and the parents. Our culture teaches us to hate and do violence. Just like the man above he is judging he isnt god so why should he judge? It says love thy nieghbors or something to that effect yeah well judging or ridiculing them is not loving them. Our culture teaches us to make fun of others, that is what the students did the the killers. They tormented them because as children we are tought to do so. You say bums are lazy and drunks so you grow up thinking the same thing you teach us look at that geek or look at that fat ass. Hardly anyone says look at that person he is a beautiful person. Even stories you tell your kids are biased the ugly people are always the evil people and the beautiful people are the good ones. Look at the ugly duckling he was always so hated until he became beautiful now children pick up that if your ugly no one will like you. Why not read them things like beauty and the beast even that is bad but its better then snow white and so on. You teach others to make fun of the diffrent and expect things like this not to happen. You tell kids to stand up for them selves and dont be weak then when they do and get pushed right back down they naturally retaluate the only way they can win. Stop judging students when you havent been one in 20 years school now is a lot diffrent. Go back to school as a student walk the halls see all the violence, drugs, sex and classism. You dont know what its like so stop judging with out knowing. Violence today a long with sex and drugs starts in the schools and is mostly taught to us by our elders. The same time kids are tought about god they are tought about judging and classism. Stop teaching your kids the wrong things and life will be better not perfect cause perfection is a deliusion.

Sorry I wrote something a lot better befor but when I posted it PTE kept not coming up so you have to read my lazy summerization.
