Nobody’s Email: Dennis Prager…Inspirational High School Message
Nobody Gets Email
*******Imagine my surprise when my liberal friend JR, sent this to me with the words: God, I LOVE this guy!**************(Note: I did look this up on Snopes!)Enjoy!(Thanks JR!)**************************New high school principal
We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado, along with Sara Palin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago….what a dynamic, down to earth speaker. Even though Palin and Brokaw were also guest speakers they did little but nod and agree with him.***************A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give.By Dennis Prager.********************To the students and faculty of our high school:**************I am your new principal, and honored to be so.*****************There is no greater calling than to teach young people.****************I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.****************First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity – your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American.****************This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America , one of its three central values — E pluribus unum, “from many, one.” And this school will be guided by America ‘s values.*****************This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.*****************Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism — an unhealthy preoccupation with the self — while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself.******************So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.*********************Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America ‘s citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here — it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English — but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.*****************Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor , everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.******************Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property — whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can’t speak without using the f -word, you can’t speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as “Nigger,” even when used by one black student to address another black, or “bitch,” even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.*******************Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way — the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.*********************Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue… There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate — to be alive and to be an American.********************Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country.As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.******************Pass this along if you agree. . . . If not delete….and later regret it!OR IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?NOBODY WONDERS if any principles in the United States were even ALLOWED to give this speech…anyone?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Obama, She Saw History Being Repeated…..
Nobody Cares
She didn’t speak much. She was quiet, and older than me, but it was her face that got to me. And I can’t remember her name. Dark hair, and a heavy accent.
But what I do remember is that one summer day, about 3 years ago, I got in a talk with her at the local pool.
She lived alone, and really didn’t talk much to the other women. Her big brown eyes always looked sad, so I always made an attempt to visit with her. And one day we got to talking about Obama.
She was scared of him. “This is how it started happening in my country.” she said, in her own country long ago, in Armenia. Her father managed to get her and her sister, and her mother out of the country, but not before most everyone she knew was killed. She saw many of her relatives slaughtered.
“They always do it the same way.” She told me. “They build their Mosques right next to the churches, and then one day, they just take over.” They slaughtered the Christians, she said…millions….and her eyes were sad. Funny I thought to myself. Why have I not heard much about this?
She didn’t swim long at the pool. After all those years, and she had been here most of her life, she now, was frightened again. She could feel that most of the women at the pool, stayed away from her.
At the time, most of the ladies at the pool were democrats…I was the only one who hated Obama, and she told me, she was afraid that America would be gone.
She stopped coming to the pool. The other ladies, we could both tell, did not like our talk of politics.
I miss her. And I remember, how very frightened she still was…STILL.
Obama refused to call the slaughter of over 1 million Christens in 1915 as genocide.
But, now, millions of Muslims are being imported into America by Obama’s orders. They are not being vetted. And they build their Mosques right next to the churches. They wanted to build their Mosque right next to ground zero in New York.
Obama was all for that.
Does anybody care?
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
